Our Best of New England series continues, taking a look at the region's best prospects.
We've already ranked the Top 50 girls prospects among the '07s, '08s and '09s. Now, it's time to take a look at the '10s with a watchlist of 30 prospects to watch, listed alphabetically by last name.
The same guidelines apply. New England natives were eligible, as were players from outside the region who play for local preps, academies, and clubs. We evaluated players based on both current form and how they project.
I've been watching many of the '10s for two seasons now, but it's still very early for this group. Some are emerging as high-end players at the prep level. Others are still coming into their own. Some may be popular recruits in the upcoming recruiting cycle, while others might not be eligible yet.
All are still frequently among the youngest players on the ice in a given game. Many players below competed at USA Hockey's National 15 Camp last summer, too. They're all players to keep an eye on in future iterations of our Top 50 rankings.
This watchlist of 30 prospects is just a snapshot of the rising talent among the 2010-born players around the region. Naturally, there are a lot more players to track than just 30.
Let's dive into some of the top '10 prospects to watch, listed alphabetically by last name.
