Mid Fairfield Showcase: Top prospects

Last weekend’s Mid Fairfield Showcase was a perfect example of how an event should be hosted.

Only top teams were present and all but one game was held under one roof at the Stamford Twin Rinks in Stamford, Conn. There were rosters provided for scouts and college coaches.

There weren’t a lot of college coaches in attendance due to it being the opening weekend of the college hockey season, but assistant coaches from ECAC Hockey and Hockey East were in the rink. A few NHL scouts, junior scouts, and NHLPA agents also took in the action.

New England Hockey Journal took in the action both days and observed some very good players from Mid Fairfield, Boston Jr. Eagles, Cape Cod Whalers, New Jersey Rockets, North Jersey Avalanche, and Yale Junior Bulldogs.
