In the world of amateur hockey scouting, big international tournaments are important events.
Beyond getting to watch some of the world’s top prospects compete against one another while representing their home nations, it also provides a rare opportunity for scouts to watch and evaluate European players who play thousands of miles away, sometimes in leagues with less access and exposure.
