Here it is: This is the start of my #CHLImportDraft coverage! I’ll be dropping an in-depth breakdown of one player every week leading up to the draft in July. For now, this is the early watchlist—check out how the players are ranked below!

Jacopo De Luca has confirmed he'll be making the jump over to @DrakkarBAC for the 2025/26 season. The 6'0" forward plays a strong, intelligent game and has noted he wants to get physically stronger to keep up with the QMJHL pace. Certainly a player I'll be keeping an eye on.

2025/26 MHL Preview: Western Conference Here's a deep dive into the stronger half of the MHL, loaded with top talents developing into top notch professional players. 🔗: dylangriffing.substack.com/p/202526-mhl-p…

The Swiss U18 team plays their first pre-Hlinka match vs. Czechia. Plenty of size and upside on the top line with 6'2" and 6'3" wingers Berger and Neuenschwander, alongside Troxler, an impressive ZSC product, down the middle. Fabrice Bouvard is getting a good look as the 2C.

🌟 MILESTONE! Yesterday, I published my 1,000th scouting report of the year on @eliteprospects - something I'm incredibly proud of. Hundreds of hours of watching everything from U15 to the KHL and providing the best coverage I can. It's been a great year, plenty more to come!

I’m excited to be joining the @eliteprospects scouting team as a WHL Draft / Central European Youth Scout! Grateful to @MitchLBrown for the opportunity, I'm looking forward to the new challenge ahead.

My hockey season started yesterday with two SUI U16 intrasquad games. Hockey is great!

Jonas Taibel is a player I could see drawing NHL interest in 3–4 years. He’s on the smaller side, but plays a mature, high-tempo game that I felt was worthy of a selection in the '24 class. A move to Bern could be great for his development.
