Welcome to the October 2, 2018 edition of Around the BCHL, a (near) daily look at what香蕉视频直播檚 going on around the league and the junior A world.

We start today with BCHL players who are on the National Hockey League香蕉视频直播檚 radar, as the Central Scouting Bureau releases its first 香蕉视频直播榳atch list香蕉视频直播� of the season.

Seven BCHLers are on the list, including Chilliwack Chiefs forward Harrison Blaisdell. The 17 year old forward has six goals and 10 points in his first 10 games after posting nine goals and 21 points in 49 games last year.

Blaisdell is assigned a C grade on the watch list, indicating a player that is projected to be selected in the fourth-through-sixth rounds of the NHL draft.

Alex Newhook of the Victoria Grizzlies is assigned an A grade, which projects him as a first-round pick.

Newhook is eighth in league scoring with 12 points in nine games. Teammate Alexander Campbell, also on the CSB watch list with a C grade, is 12th in league scoring with 11 points.

Forward Massimo Rizzo of the Penticton Vees and defenceman Layton Ahac of the Prince George Spruce Kings receive B grades, indicating potential second or third round picks.

Other BCHLers on the list, all receiving C grades, are forwards Ethan Leyh of the Langley Rivermen and Alex Swetlikoff of the Vernon Vipers.

Most if not all of these players will appear in the 2019 CJHL Prospects Game, scheduled for Jan. 22 in Okotoks, Alberta.

The Langley Rivermen have added a new player to the lineup.

Nineteen year old defenceman Garrett Daly joined the team on Friday and made an immediate impact, scoring two goals in two games, one each against Coquitlam and Prince George.

The six-foot and 192 pound D-man spent most of last season playing high school hockey in Minnesota. He captained Lakeville North High, posting six goals and 25 points in 25 games. He also went pointless in five games with the NAHL香蕉视频直播檚 Minnesota Wilderness.

He went to training camp with the USHL香蕉视频直播檚 Dubuque Fighting Saints at the start of this season, and the team put together a video profile.

Daly has an NCAA commitment with Bowling Green State University.

The Penticton Vees picked up a couple wins last weekend and have started to climb back up the standings in the Interior conference.

Head coach/general manager Fred Harbinson made another move to bolster the roster last week, signing Brendan Harrogate. The 20 year old made an immediate impact, scoring two goals and adding an assist in his first two outings.

A big kid at six-foot-one and 187 pounds, Harrogate plays center and has 176 games of regular season and playoff experience in the major junior ranks. He played for the Ontario Hockey League香蕉视频直播檚 Mississauga Steelheads and Oshawa Generals from 2015 to 2018, where he averaged about .5 points per game.

With the addition of Harrogate and Andre Ghantous (acquired from Alberni Valley), the Vees have improved their forward corps considerably.

A few other transactions from the last week.

The Surrey Eagles shipped out a pair of defencemen, dealing 1999-born blueliner Perry Winfree to the Powell River Kings and 2001-born D-man Jason Chu to the Prince George Spruce Kings, both for future considerations.

The Nanaimo Clippers shipped 2000-born defenceman Will Spitzer to Alberta Junior Hockey League香蕉视频直播檚 Whitecourt Wolverines for futures and acquired 1999-born forward Daniel Gatenby from the Alberni Valley Bulldogs for futures.

I wrote last week about the Chiefs picking up Trevor Peca, son of ex-NHLer Mike Peca.

They didn香蕉视频直播檛 need to make a move to fit him on the roster, but head coach/GM Brian Maloney made one anyway, sending 1999-born forward Chris Brown to the Central Canadian Hockey League香蕉视频直播檚 Brockville Braves for futures.
