Hockey Saskatchewan has released its U16 roster for the 2021 WHL Cup. Noticeable by their absences are Berkly Catton, Roger McQueen and Trae Wilke, all arguably among Saskatchewan’s top 6 forwards and all expected to be high picks at the 2021 WHL Draft.

Daxon Rudolph (4) moved up our ranking last month into the #8 spot as a high-upside defender for the #2023WHLDraft . Here he is completing a rush give-n-go with teammate Owen Chapman.

One 2021 WHL draft eligible player to keep an eye on is Delta U17s Gavin Garland. He was born in the US and should be in the mix for a spot on the US NTDP U17 team. Interesting to see where he lands on draft day as we currently have him as a first round talent.

With the 2021 WHL Draft scheduled for December, this will be the marquee event for the top 2006s to showcase themselves just prior to the draft. Should be some phenomenal hockey.

Rhett Miller - @OkanaganHockey U17 Not too sure what the plan is for the late 2005-born forward but he's showing that high-end hockey IQ can lead to some very fun hockey. He currently leads the team with 20 points in 12 games.

Riley Ashe - F - @warmanbantamaa A great example of good fundamentals and form which will improve as he gets bigger, stronger, and quicker. In this clip he gains speed through crossovers, weaves through the neutral zone, and protects the puck while attacking. #2021WHLDraft

Jordan Martin - D - (12) - @YHA_Lions U15 A detailed defender with power to his skating stride. Efficient outlets, quality wrist shot release, and always competing. Jordan joins the play as an off-puck passing option and then eliminates the play defensively. #2022WHLDraft

The 2022 WHL Draft lottery is complete. No change among the top 6 teams in the lottery so the @tigershockey will select 1st overall. Gavin McKenna looks to be the favorite to go 1st overall.

As we turn out sights towards the 2008-born group from Western Canada, we have to begin with the leading scorer from the CSSHL U15 @PacificSeaDevil Noah Kosick (4). He finished with 96 points in 29 games. #2023WHLDraft

4⭐️ Jack Kachkowski was committed to Nebraska-Omaha but elects to sign with the Medicine Hat Tigers instead. Make no mistake, our projection was that Jack would been drafted in the 1st round of the 2022 WHL Draft had he not shown significant NCAA interest.
