Third of 2017 KIJHL Showcase Prospects moved on to higher leagues

With the KIJHL Prospect Showcase coming up next weekend, January 13 in Kelowna, it seemed appropriate to see what happened to the 48 prospects that were showcased last year.

The Kootenay Conference edged the Okanagan/Shuswap Conference 3-2 in the scoreboard, however, 58.3% of the Kootenay Conference players remained in the KIJHL compared to 45.8% of the Okanagan/Shuswap Conference.

Three players advanced to the WHL: Luke Gallagher (Braves to Spokane Chiefs), Colum McGauley (Leafs to Kelowna Rockets), and John Ludvig (Storm to Portland Winterhawks). That's 6.3% making the 'dub.

Ten players (20.8%) moved onto the BCHL, with three other players making Junior A in other provinces, for a total of 13 players (27.1%) moving to Junior A.

Other interesting facts were that four players (8.3%) are not playing this season, and that two others are playing in Junior B leagues elsewhere and one made their way to a USA league.

So in short, in terms of advancing to the WHL or Junior A, 16 (33.3%) of the showcased players moved on.

It will be interesting to watch how this years prospects rosters pan out in terms of advancing, because we only have a limited sample size.

Here are the rosters from last year with last years team and this years team.
