Re: Central Scouting List
The "Players to Watch" list came out during the last week of October last year and the first week of November two years ago. So I would imagine it will be another week or two before it comes out.hockey nut wrote:I heard that the 2007 Central Scouting Draft list is out. Anyone know where it can be found?

And offside is absolutely correct. It also does not guarantee that your kid will play in the USHL or even get drafted in the USHL. This list is not a good determination of a kid's ability. In my opinion it is more or less the kids with the correct body type or build. Not necessarily the skill level or ability of the kids.
I think you hit it on the head. They also take into account results from a battery of tests like: bench press, pull ups, vert. jump, body comp, wingate test, and sometimes a VO2 max.southernmnscout wrote:And offside is absolutely correct.

Height and weight use to be HUGE factors, not as much anymore.
SPEED IS WHERE ITS AT, EH?
....Can't thank you enough for the time.
they do not do any testing for either the watch list or the rankings. it's based upon observation and height and weight and even some players they do not have official height and weight. to say these players do not have good skills is not accurate. the biggest thing they look at in putting players on this list is projecting talent which is an art not science. they have to project a player who is 17, 18 or 19 at least a couple of years out.

It's a simple equation. The more kids that appear on the precious Central Scouting List = the more kids there are that think they are USHL caliber = the more there are that will attend tryout camps, future camps & USHL Showcase camps = the more money the USHL & the USHL teams will make.
Granted, some kids come out of open camps and make teams, but for the most part they are padding the coffers for the teams that are putting on the camps. Until your name is on a roster, there are certainly NO guarantees.

Don't sweat the small stuff.
It's all small stuff.

Funny you should say that. I used to adminster said tests for the NHL CSS. Granted that was through the mid to late 90's. Can't imagine they would gas it altogether, some valuable info to be gained from the testing.Offside wrote:they do not do any testing for either the watch list or the rankings. it's based upon observation and height and weight and even some players they do not have official height and weight. to say these players do not have good skills is not accurate. the biggest thing they look at in putting players on this list is projecting talent which is an art not science. they have to project a player who is 17, 18 or 19 at least a couple of years out.
I guess I assumed they were tested if they were on the "watch list". Can you clarify a little more, Offside?
