47 CSSHL Alumni Named to NHL Central Scouting Watch List - Canadian Sport School Hockey League

47 former Canadian Sport School Hockey League (CSSHL) student-athletes have been named to the NHL Central Scouting Preliminary Players to Watch List for the 2026 NHL Draft.

The players on the preliminary list with A ratings are considered potential first-round picks. Players with B ratings are considered possible second- or third-round choices, players with C ratings are potential fourth- or fifth-round picks, and those with W ratings indicate a “watch” player for potential sixth- or seventh-round consideration. 6 former CSSHL student-athletes have been given an A rating, 6 a B rating, 11 a C rating, and 24 a W rating.

The 47 CSSHL alumni are currently playing in the QMJHL, WHL and NCAA. Of the 89 WHL developed players who find their names on the list, 49% (44/89) are CSSHL alumni.

Last year 41 CSSHL alumni were named to the NHL Central Scouting Preliminary Players to Watch List for the 2025 NHL Draft.
