It seems like in every edition of the National Hockey League’s entry draft there’s a handful of standouts from Canada’s junior A circuits who earn a lot of attention from scouts and analysts with gaudy offensive numbers. Three strong players are vying to be the top junior A player taken this year, including the Ontario Junior Hockey League’s Jack McBain, the British Columbia Hockey League’s Jonathan Tychondick and Okotoks Oilers defender Jacob Bernard-Docker.
Bernard-Docker is the top CJHL prospect heading into the draft, orignally ranked 62nd among North American skaters in the mid-term rankings and has since risen to 33rd.
