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.
