CJHL Names Top Prospects
Thirteen schools have commits named to showcase rosters.
The Canadian Junior Hockey League has announced the rosters for its 2018 CJHL Prospects Game, set for Jan. 23 in Mississauga, Ont.
The two teams are comprised of players eligible for the 2018 NHL Draft who compete in one of the 10 leagues that comprise the CJHL.
Twenty-one of the players have already committed to Division I schools, with 13 schools boasting at least one commit in the game. Princeton leads all schools with four recruits selected and is the only NCAA team with commits on both Team East and Team West. Cornell and Denver each had three recruits selected.
The players chosen were selected by members of NHL Central Scouting.
