International Scouting Services, the world’s leading independent hockey company, released its top 30 prospects for May.
The BCHL is represented by Penticton Vees Tyson Jost and Dante Fabbro. Jost is ranked No. 9, while Fabbro is at No. 19.
Auston Matthews remains at No.1, while Jesse Puljujarvi is No.2 and Patrik Laine is No.3. The website stated the biggest mover was Fabbro, who jumped to 19 after his 2016 World Under-18 Championship.
“He stood out and was well liked by our scouts at the World U18’s,” says ISS Hockey Director of Scouting Dennis MacInnis. “Fabbro showed patience and composure with the puck in all situations. He has the ability to create offence from anywhere on the ice.”
“Jost was outstanding from start to finish and Canada’s best player during recent U18 Championship,” said MacInnis. “One of the most skilled players in this year’s draft. He is a fun player to watch as he is so gifted and the game seems to come easy to him. His vision, creativity and one-on-one skills are extremely good. He makes all the players around him better. Has the skill and hockey IQ to be a top player at the next level”.
