2020 NHL Draft - Midterm Prospect Rankings:
The NHL Central Scouting Service released its 2020 Midterm Draft Prospect Ranking on January 13th. It includes separate lists of 220 North American skaters and 135 European skaters. Three UNH Commits were included on the North American list.
Carsen Richels signed a National Letter of Intent with UNH in November. The senior captain for the Blaine Bengals has scored 18 goals and 19 assists in 17 games. Because he is scoring at a 2.05 points per game clip and is projected to be drafted in the middle rounds of the 2020 NHL Draft this June, I project that he will enroll as a true freshman at UNH next Fall. Here are video highlights of three goals he scored in his 5-goal game:
Luke Reid has scored 2 goals and 10 assists in 28 games for the first-place Chicago Steel and has a +/- rating of +11. On Monday, Reid competed in the 2020 BioSteel All-American Game which featured many of the top American prospects eligible for the 2020 NHL Draft. He was the starting right defenseman for the team representing the United States Hockey League. Look for a feature article and interview with Luke Reid coming soon on The UNH Men's Hockey Blog. He is on target to enroll at UNH next Fall. Here are video highlights of Reid's second goal of the USHL season and his 10th assist:
David Sacco, a junior at Lawrence Academy, has scored 7 goals and 14 assists in 12 games. The Spartans are currently ranked 3rd in New England Prep School Hockey in the USHR Poll and 4th in the Neutral Zone Poll. Here are video highlights of Sacco's two goals, including the game-winner, from Lawrence's 5-4 win over Noble & Greenough School on January 15th:

The statistics for the commits, presented in the above table, are categorized by the projected year they will enroll in UNH. For example, the "2020 Commits" are projected to begin playing for UNH in the Fall of 2020. I have based these projections on the following factors:
~ If a National Letter of Intent has been signed.
~ The year the commit and UNH coaches originally targeted for enrollment in UNH.
~ How old the commit would be upon admission.
~ Number of years in junior hockey prior to admission.
~ The commit's performance in recent seasons as well as injuries.
~ Anticipated date of high school graduation.
~ Number of UNH players leaving the team at the end of the previous season and the position they played.
