The 2013 iteration of the QMJHL Draft is expected to be a strong one with several ‘franchise’ calibre players headlining the crop of 1996 and 1997 born players vying to be the next wave of QMJHL stars.
TSR contributor Kevin Hill has been active all season watching draft eligible players in the LHMAAAQ, Midget Espoir, and catching Atlantic Canadian prospects throughout the winter’s showcase tournaments across the region. The Top 90 listed below takes into account these viewings and is regarded strictly as a ranking rather than a mock draft.
