Cougar forwards Terik Parascak and Hunter Laing have been named to NHL Central Scoutings Preliminary Players to Watch list for the 2024 NHL Draft. Parascak is rated as a ‘B’ Prospect and Laing is rated as a ‘W’ skater.
NHL Central Scouting identifies players with a rating system that includes five categories. The ‘A’ category indicates players projected to be first-round candidates. The ‘B’ rating indicates players projected to be second- or third-round candidates, and the ‘C’ rating indicates players projected to be fourth- or fifth-round candidates. New this year, NHL Central Scouting has introduced the ‘W’ rating, which indicates players projected to be sixth- or seventh-round candidates. Finally, the ‘LV’ rating represents players who have not had sufficient viewings, due to injury.
