Total Package Hockey is proud to announce that 11 TPH-trained players have recently been recognized by NHL Central Scouting as ‘players to watch’ for the upcoming 2018 NHL Draft.

On Central Scouting’s November watch list, players were grouped by A, B and C ratings – one TPH alum appeared in the A group, while three appeared in the ‘B’ and seven in the ‘C’ group.

“It’s awesome to see these players be rewarded for all their hard work,” said TPH managing partner Nathan Bowen. “We’re proud of all of them for everything they do on and off the ice to be elite hockey players and even better young men.”

Six of the players on the Central Scouting list are alumni of the TPH Center of Excellence in Detroit, eight of the players have taken part in the TPH 8-week offseason training program, two of the players are TPH Thunder alumni, and one is a product of the Michigan Hockey Advancement high school hockey fall program.
