That success shows no signs of slowing down and looks set to continue, with five players listed on NHL Central Scouting’s midseason r

Guelph Storm As the Guelph Storm prepare to host next year’s Memorial Cup, rookie forward Layne Gallacher has become an important part of those plans. The 17-year-old was acquired in a trade that sent Philadelphia Flyers first-round pick Jett Luchanko to the Brantford Bulldogs. Since joining the Storm, Gallacher has six points in 12 games. He had five goals and seven assists in 21 contests with Brantford. Last season, Gallacher led the U18 Ajax/Pickering Raiders with 46 point

Robert Lefebvre/OHL Images For Kingston Frontenacs head coach Troy Mann, this season has been about continuing to set standards, trusting his team’s structure, and finding ways to stay competitive even when the offence hasn’t come easily. “We’ve really built this team from the back end out,” Mann said. “Offensively, it’s been a struggle at times, and I think that’s why we’ve had some losing streaks. We went through a nine-game stretch where we only scored 16 goals, and it’s t

Terry Wilson / OHL Images Soo Greyhounds defenceman Chase Reid continues to put himself in the conversation to be the first blueliner selected in this year’s NHL Entry Draft. The 18-year-old was rated fourth overall among North American skaters in NHL Central Scouting’s midterm rankings, a recognition he credits to his teammates and coaches. “I couldn’t have done it without my teammates and coaches over in the Soo, but it’s always a pleasure to get ranked that high.

Bad weather and cancelled flights delayed the Nashville Predators prospect’s arrival at the Gale Centre in Niagara Falls by more than a day, forcing the 18-year-old forward into an early wake-up just to get to camp. “It took me about a day and a half,” Martin said. “Bad weather, flights getting cancelled, just delayed hours.
