More than half of the players selected to play in the 2016 CJHL Prospects Game - representing the top Junior A leagues across Canada - have committed to Division I schools, with 21 players pledged to 13 different schools among the two rosters.
The CJHL and NHL Central Scouting selected the players, who will represent Team East and Team West at the game, set for Jan. 26 at South Surrey Arena in Surrey, B.C. Team West features two first-round NHL Draft candidates in Penticton Vees teammates Dante Fabbro (Boston University) and Tyson Jost (North Dakota).
Cornell and Princeton lead all schools with three recruits apiece in the game. Alaska, Niagara, Penn State and Vermont are each represented by two commits.
