Included in the list are the players’ names, numbers, teams, birth years etc., as well as a few notes from our scouts on each player. While it may not necessarily be indicative of an overall top 80 ranking for this group of players, it is our top 80 for this specific showcase. The following is a list of 80 players – not in any exact order or ranking – who our scouts felt performed well and stood out the most in this particular tournament. We are unclear as to how the All-Star team was selected, and while the selected players were all deserving, Neutral Zone scouts said that they were plenty of other players whose performances deserved recognition as well. Cameron, for example, had gone into the event planning to focus more on older players, but quickly realized that the young talent could not be ignored.Īt the conclusion of the event, 36 players and four goalies were selected to the tournament All-Star team. One common sentiment among Neutral Zone scouts present was how impressed they all were with the way the younger players stood out. As a result, Cameron and Manastersky alone were both able to watch every time in the showcase at least twice. With around 600 players present, there was plenty of talent at the Rush Showcase for staff to see and Director of Women’s Hockey, Jessica Cameron, as well as former CIS coach and Neutral Zone staffer, Tim Manastersky, enjoyed both the level of play as well as the organization of the tournament.ĭetailed rosters were available for all teams and a precise schedule was provided to allow Neutral Zone scouts to stay on track over the course of the weekend. ![]() After Rush, Neutral Zone staff will be headed to the upcoming USA Hockey Top 66 camp, and the U18 and U15 development camps. The Rush Showcase is the first major event in women’s amateur hockey to occur after the May “dead period” where NCAA Division 1 schools are not allowed to recruit. Neutral Zone’s women’s scouting staff made it to the Rush Showcase in Brampton, Ontario over the weekend of June 5 – 8, marking the start of the summer scouting season.
