(620 words) - With the WHL draft approaching in western Canada for the 2001’s, we are expecting eligible 2001 forward Toporowski (@luketop77, @ktopper77, Chicago Mission, 5'10, 162) to be a high first round draft pick (if he is willing to report to the league, and if he is given a special exemption like his older brother). One of our Illinois area scouts stepped up to the plate this weekend to fill us in on the details as to why he believes this prospect is on the fast-track to one day being a household name in NHL, D1 and WHL scouting circles.
