Undrafted Players Earning Major Junior Tryouts
I know a few undrafted players have played in this league and gone onto Major Junior hockey but does anyone know how often this happens?
Re: Undrafted Players Earning Major Junior Tryouts
Major Junior teams sign some free agents every year so the do come from somewhere. Currently there are at least 4 undrafted 98s playing in either the OHL or QMJHL from the Western Conference area alone. Some 97s made the move as well. It wouldn't surprise me to see more next season in either league or the USHL and there are candidates for those spots in the GOJHL this year. In reality the top 1/2 of the draft means something after about round 8 drafted or undrafted means little as it is s reflection of the past. Being drafted and playing don't necessarily go hand in hand 2 years later.
The Simon Cowell of the GOJHL.
