Description: This is a list, in no particular order, of prospects and players to watch from countries that are not traditionally 'hockey countries'. For example, some 'hockey countries' would be Canada, USA, Sweden, Czechia, Russia, etc. We've seen more diversity in nationality in the NHL Draft in recent years, and I hope to see it grow as hockey develops globally!
