Blackfish: Canucks Army Weekly Prospect Report – April 14th, 2016

Apr 14, 2016, 15:00 EDTUpdated:

The Canucks season is over and only a handful of prospects are left playing.
Brock Boeser and (new prospect) Troy Stecher are NCAA Champions!
Kyle Pettit continues his march to the OHL finals.
So there isn’t a lot in the Canucks prospect world, but you can find it all here in this week’s Blackfish!
TSN is broadcasting U18 games over the next two weeks, I highly recommend you watch them. GM Jim Benning does highly value international competitions and drafted a few players last year based on their performance at the U18.
So without further ado…
