Over the years, the Pre Draft Combine has gone through many changes to improve the event. Every year, more than 100 players come to be tested, compete, and become educated on the recruiting process from those hockey people actually making the decisions that will effect their careers.
Many times the Pre Draft Combine features those players who are not yet on many teams scouting radar. This is why we have a very high ratio of scouts to players.
Often times we are asked where we get our information, and how players are chosen. Simply put, each event is a minimum year long process in developing. Some players are watched for two years before being invited. Fourteen scouts throughout North America and Europe provide their opinions and as resume’s come in they are voted on for approval.
