Forward Eric Hunter and Goaltender Justin Pogge, both members of Canada’s U-18 IIHF National Team, have made the NHL’s Central Scouting Service Final Rankings heading into the 2004 draft which is set to take place June 26-27 in Raleigh, North Carolina. Hunter, who was 5th in Cougar scoring this past season (19 g, 23 asst, 42pts), has been ranked 67th overall for North American skaters by Central Scouting. In addition to playing for Canada’s Under 18 Team last August, Hunter also played in the CHL Top Prospects Game last January where he managed to record a goal in his teams win.
