As I always preference these lists, DITR is all about identifying hockey players, some of which might not be on the radar, based on the stats in a time period. There are various anomalies, sometimes that effect these rankings, such as the consistency of statistics, player’s stat sample size, etc.
But as always, this is about getting kids “on the radar” if not already and helping coaches identify the players that make their programs better.
This list we added a YouTube playlist with many highlights and games from players on this list, the link is on the list.
Here is the forward list:
