The draft is now a week away. The Memorial Cup wrapped up yesterday, bringing an official end to the draft year. And today, the UFFS scouts are unveiling our consensus final rankings — a consolidated list featuring 102 prospects from seven contributors submitting their Top 64 — along with scouting director Larry Fisher’s Top 225 for the 2022 NHL Draft. This is the culmination of a year-long process that saw UFFS publish preliminary rankings on Nov. 11 following the first month of the CHL season and midseason rankings on March 22 prior to the CHL Top Prospects Game. Now armed with insights from that showcase as well as the best-on-best competition at the under-18 tournament, playoffs around the hockey world, and the off-ice combine, the UFFS scouts settled on their rankings that will have to stand the test of time when reflecting back on this 2022 class in the years to come.
