The North American Hockey League (NAHL) is pleased to announce that seven players were recognized on the National Hockey League’s (NHL) Central Scouting’s 2017 Final Rankings, which were released on April 11th on nhl.com by NHL Central Scouting.
 
The list included six players that played in the NAHL this season and one former player that is in another league, but played in the NAHL during last season (2015-16).

The next big event for NHL scouts to see the NAHL’s talent on display is the 2017 NAHL Robertson Cup National Championship, which will be held in Duluth, Minnesota, from May 11-14.
 
Founded by hockey executive Jack Button in 1975, NHL Central Scouting Services is a department within the National Hockey League that ranks prospects for the NHL Entry Draft at specific times during the season. Players are ranked based on how well they will translate to the professional game in the NHL.
 
The Chicago Blackhawks will host the 2017 NHL Draft at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois. Next year's Draft will be held over two days on June 23-24. 
 
A total of 10 players have been selected right after playing in the NAHL in the past two NHL Drafts in 2015 and 2016.
