Neutral Zone released its midterm NTDP/USHL Top 100 Prospects in December and since then our scouts have continued to scout and evaluate the top 2002 born prospects born in the US. In the midterm rankings we rank the players by A, B and C where the A’s are likely to make NTDP, B players are likely to make the NTDP Camp and the C rated prospects are players who have a shot at making the camp. Some players’ stock has risen since the first half of the season, some have fallen and there are also over 10 new players added to the list.
Each year there is a different number of players selected to the NTDP Evaluation Camp but it’s typically around 50 players so more then half this list will not be selected to the NTDP Camp, but will be highly pursued in the USHL Futures Draft.
Also, this list is not a reflection of USA Hockey’s opinion of these players; we are an independent scouting agency comprised of over 50 qualified scouts from across North America.
