One quick glance at the current QMJHL scoring leaders will show that this crop of potential draftees is special, 2006 Top Prospects and very talented. But there is also a diverse mix of two-way players, responsible defensemen, and quality goaltenders eligible for this draft. This year's draft eligible group contains depth at all positions, and could lead to the Other Notables highest number of draftees the QMJHL has seen in quite some time. 2007 Top Prospects While much, if not all of the early season pre-draft hype relating to the QMJHL draft class has fallen on the shoulders of superstar Rimouski Oceanic forward Other Notables Sidney Crosby, there are other players that may make teams not feel too badly about missing their chance to snag theCole Harbour, Nova Scotia native. Here are the top ten 2005-eligible players from the QMJHL, one-third of the way into the 2004-2005 regular season: 1. Sidney Crosby, Forward, Rimouski Oceanic Height: 5'10, Weight: 175 pounds, DOB: 08/07/1987 On the days he is off his game, he is dominant. On the days he is on his game, he is unstoppable. Mixing a blend of mind-blowing offensive skill with defensive responsibility and a touch of physical presence, there are few in Crosby's league this season. The 2003-04 QMJHL rookie of the year is the current QMJHL scoring leader by a wide margin over his nearest competition, in spite of the fact that he missed four games in October with a leg injury, suffered on a questionable hit from Philadelphia Flyers prospect Frederik Cabana on October 1st. After returning from his minor injury, the dynamic forward did not miss a beat offensively, and he continues to rack up points http://www.hockeysfuture.com/article.php?sid=7377&mode=threaded&order=0 21. 11. 2004 Hockey's Future: The Hockey Prospects Resource (Covering the WHL, QMJHL,AHL, O... Page 2 of 6 seemingly at will. Crosby is unquestionably the class of a deep 2005 draft- eligible list, and thus the chance of him falling from this position in the QMJHL rankings, or the overall rankings for that matter, is slim to none. The best way to appreciate his game is just to sit back, and try to keep your jaw from resting on the floor. Team Year GP G A P PIM +/- Rimouski 2003-04 59 54 81 135 74 +49 Rimouski 2004-05 22 15 36 51 16 +17 2. Guillaume Latendresse, Forward, Drummondville Voltiguers Height: 6'2, Weight: 222 pounds, DOB: 05/24/1987 Latendresse missed the first few weeks of the season recovering from offseason shoulder surgery, which hampered his offensive production in the early part of the season. The 17-year-old power forward, selected second overall in the 2003 QMJHL Midget Draft, has been able to put up respectable numbers under the adverse condition of playing for a bottom-tier squad in Drummondville, and like many star players, has been facing some tough checkers each game. Mixing a blend of strong skating and rugged physical play while playing with a large frame, Latendresse has great potential to be a top-flight power forward in the NHL for whichever team selects him. While he may be playing below expectations at this point of the season, he will likely get back on track offensively when he is fully healed from his shoulder problems. His nose for the net is too good and his shot too powerful his numbers to stagnate for too long. Team Year GP G A P PIM +/- Drummondville 2003-04 53 24 25 49 66 +11 Drummondville 2004-05 18 5 10 15 28 -2 3. Marek Zagrapan, Forward, Chicoutimi Sagueneens Height: 6'1, Weight: 185 pounds, DOB: 12/06/1986 Zagrapan has made an immediate impact in the Sagueneens revitalized lineup, helping lead his team to the best record in the league. Playing on the team's top line, Zagrapan, the 18th overall selection in the 2004 CHL Import Draft, has worked his way into the top five in league scoring in his first season in the QMJHL. Possessing great speed, excellent stick-handling ability, and a lightning-quick release, the native of the Czech Republic may be the most offensively dynamic player eligible from the QMJHL this season save Crosby. However, his slightness has prevented him from becoming much of a physical presence on the ice, and his physical strength will have to improve somewhat if he is to become a truly dominant player. Still, Zagrapan's amazing skill set and creativity on the ice are key attributes that will be very difficult to overlook. His dominant play led him to be selected QMJHL Rookie of the Month for October. It will be interesting to see if Zagrapan will be able to keep up his torrid pace throughout the entire QMJHL campaign.

Page 3 of 6 Chicoutimi 2004-05 25 10 25 35 12 +13 4. Alex Bourret, Forward, Lewiston Maineiacs Height: 5'10, Weight: 214 pounds, DOB: 10/05/1986 Bourret has really blossomed into a dominant player in the QMJHL this season as an 18-year-old, sitting second overall in QMJHL scoring. Last week, he was named the QMJHL Offensive Player of the Week, racking up ten points in four games. Originally selected by Sherbrooke first overall in 2002, Bourret has exploded after two decent seasons, as he now plays on the top line for Lewiston. Built like a tank, and hitting with the same force, Bourret is among the most physical players in the league, with excellent offensive skill to boot. Loaded with energy and playmaking ability, Bourret has become one of the elite players in the league, perfectly mixing grit with skill, to create one of the most dangerous players on any team. Originally a bit of a project, Bourret has realized more of his potential this season, and is on pace to smash his previous career highs, perhaps by the Christmas break at his current pace. His two-way game is evident as well, as he sits tied for the league lead in plus/minus on a team that is in the middle of the pack in the league standings. One of the grittiest players in the league, Bourret's in-your- face style of play is perfectly suited for the NHL in its present state.

Alexandre Vincent, Goaltender, Chicoutimi Sagueneens Height: 6'4, Weight: 195 pounds, DOB: 12/11/1986 Last season, Alexandre Vincent was the backup to Edmonton Oilers prospect Jeff Drouin-Deslauriers, and it was obvious who the starting goaltender was for Chicoutimi. When Drouin-Deslauriers graduated to the pros, the Sagueneens were left with big skates to fill. Vincent has filled them admirably, leading the Sagueneens to the best record in the QMJHL. Playing a similar game as his teammate from last season, Vincent fills the net with his large frame. While he is somewhat inconsistent, when he is on his game, he is one of the most dominant goaltenders in the league. And he has had to be on his game quite often, as the Sagueneens defense is not among the best in the league, and thus he has faced quite a bit of rubber on some nights. He is almost unbeatable low, and also possesses a great glove hand, but still can be beat upstairs. If he can maintain his consistency throughout the season, the Sagueneens will go deep into the playoffs, and Vincent will likely hear his name called early on draft day.

Page 4 of 6 Height: 6'2, Weight: 185 pounds, DOB: 02/16/1987 Bourdon has seen a lot of ice for the Foreurs this season, playing in the top pairing for the western Quebec squad. It has been a long season for the Foreurs and Bourdon, but he has played well under adverse conditions. One of several defensemen eligible this year who is an excellent two-way player, Bourdon is a threat at both ends of the rink, adequately mixing defensive responsibility in his own end and offensive creativity when on the attack. Not boasting immense size, Bourdon still plays a physical game, and does a great job keeping the front of the net clear.

  • Turnbull Hockey Pool For
    Turnbull Hockey Pool for Each year, Turnbull students participate in several fundraising initiatives, which we promote as a way to develop a sense of community, leadership and social responsibility within the students. Last year's grade 7 and 8 students put forth a great deal of effort campaigning friends and family members to join Turnbull's annual NHL hockey pool, raising a total of $1750 for a charity of their choice (the United Way). This year's group has decided to run the hockey pool for the benefit of Help Lesotho, an international development organization working in the AIDS-ravaged country of Lesotho in southern Africa. From www.helplesotho.org "Help Lesotho’s programs foster hope and motivation in those who are most in need: orphans, vulnerable children, at-risk youth and grandmothers. Our work targets root causes and community priorities, including literacy, youth leadership training, school twinning, child sponsorship and gender programming. Help Lesotho is an effective, sustainable organization that is working at the grass-roots level to support the next generation of leaders in Lesotho." Your participation in this year's NHL hockey pool is very much appreciated. We believe it will provide students and their friends and families an opportunity to have fun together while giving back to their community by raising awareness and funds for a great cause.

    For Immediate Release Contacts: Aaron Sickman (651) 602-6009 Tuesday, June 9, 2020 Megan Kogut (651) 312-3439 Emily Yang (651) 602-6034 MINNESOTA WILD GOALTENDER ALEX STALOCK NOMINATED FOR BILL MASTERTON MEMORIAL TROPHY SAINT PAUL, Minn. – The Twin Cities chapter of the Professional Hockey Writers’ Association (PHWA) today announced the nomination of Minnesota Wild goaltender Alex Stalock for the National Hockey League’s (NHL) Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy. The trophy is presented annually to the player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey. Stalock, 32 (7/28/87), posted a 20-11-4 record with a 2.67 goals-against average (GAA), a .910 save percentage (SV%) and four shutouts in 38 games played (36 starts) and became the fifth goaltender in franchise history to record 20 wins in a season. He set career highs in games played, games started, wins, shutouts (ranked T-5th in the NHL), minutes played (2,177), shots against (1,082) and saves (985). Per NHL Stats, the six-foot, 200-pound native of Saint Paul, Minn., is the seventh different Minnesota-born goalie to reach 20-plus wins in a single season. Stalock tied his career best making seven consecutive starts from Feb. 25-March 7, made a season-high 40 saves at San Jose on March 5 and recorded a career-high, four-game win streak Feb. 21-28. The left-glove netminder registered a 26-save shutout in his first start of the season on Oct. 14 at Ottawa, the second time in his career he recorded a shutout in his first start of a single season and became the fourth Minnesota-born goalie in NHL history to do so.

    DOBBER’S 2010-11 FANTASY GUIDE DOBBERHOCKEY.COM – HOME OF THE TOP 300 FANTASY PLAYERS I think we’re at the point in the fantasy hockey universe where DobberHockey.com is either known in a fantasy league, or the GM’s are sleeping. Besides my column in The Hockey News’ Ultimate Pool Guide, and my contributions to this year’s Score Forecaster (fifth year doing each), I put an ad in McKeen’s. That covers the big three hockey pool magazines and you should have at least one of them as part of your draft prep. The other thing you need, of course, is this Guide right here. It is not only updated throughout the summer, but I also make sure that the features/tidbits found in here are unique. I know what’s in the print mags and I have always tried to set this Guide apart from them. Once again, this is an automatic download – just pick it up in your downloads section. Look for one or two updates in August, then one or two updates between September 1st and 14th. After that, when training camp is in full swing, I will be updating every two or three days right into October. Make sure you download the latest prior to heading into your draft (and don’t ask me on one day if I’ll be updating the next day – I get so many of those that I am unable to answer them all, just download as late as you can). Any updates beyond this original release will be in bold blue.

Last season, he shattere year-old record for points by a 16-year-old and scored more points than Mike Bossy, Brad Richards, Vinc Lecavalier or Mario Lemieux did at the same age in the QMJHL.

  • MEDIA GUIDE 2014 IIHF World Junior Championship a Chance to See the Best Ice Hockey Players
    MEDIA GUIDE 2014 IIHF World Junior Championship A chance to see the best ice hockey players One misconception about the IIHF World Junior Championships is that it features “future” stars. If you look at the development of the event, you will realize that this magnificent tournament features players who are world class stars already today. The World Juniors also show, by the way, how quickly a year goes by. Let’s take you back to December 2012 and the IIHF World U20 event in Ufa, Russia. Canada’s Ryan Nugent-Hopkins who led the tournament in scoring with 15 points in 6 games is today an integral part of the Edmonton Oilers while his countrymen Jonathan Huberdeau (9 points in 6 games in Ufa) and Mark Scheifele (8 points in 6 games) are the future of the Florida Panthers and Winnipeg Jets respectively. USA’s All-Star defenseman and gold winner in Ufa, Jacob Trouba, is playing sensationally well for the Winnipeg while teammate Alex Galchenyuk personifies the new generation Montreal Canadiens. Last year’s dominating Finns Joel Armia and Markus Granlund have both signed NHL contracts and are biding their time in the AHL, but Swedes Filip Forsberg, Elias Lindholm and Rickard Rakell have all played NHL games this season. So think about this when you watch the 38th IIHF World Junior event in Malmö – you may most likely have one chance to see the best players. Next year they are probably celebrated professionals either in the NHL or in any of the European leagues. A good example of the natural turnover is the defending World Champion United States: from last year’s golden roster in Ufa only there are only three returnees on the 2014 team.
