Calgary Hitmen

At the risk of sounding stupid and appearing out of the loop, I was just wondering why there are no Hitmen in the top prospects roster. I believe they have (at least one) draft-eligible players and I DO know that they are often the #1 ranked team, so I don't get why they don't have a player or two on the roster? Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks.

the top 36 ranked skaters playing in the CHL + the top 4 ranked goalies playing in the CHL who are eligible for the 2009 entry draft get invited to the Prospects Game. I'm not too familiar with the Hitman lineup but obviously none of their draft eligible players are in the top 40.

I know Markus Foligno is playing due to an injury to another prospect, but presumably he is the next ranked skater, thus his invitation

So that's why there are no bulls or 67's in the line up either. I was wondering about that at last night's skills game. Makes sense now. I guess the talent pool is pretty large, with all Canadian hockey teams in the mix.

I thought it was nice treat to see some of the kids we never get to see, from the Wheat Kings, Quebec Rampart....There were some pretty big bodies out there.
