If you are a junior team looking to round out your roster for the 2022-23 season here is a list of players that we feel are worth your time and effort. Some are late bloomers physically, a few are coming back from injuries while others have something to prove. The best part is that we believe each of these players have intangible qualities that will translate to professional hockey. Enjoy and happy hunting.

We did not evaluate an under-agers and we are only commenting on this game
