Players from almost all ranks of the prospect world are on the ice now, even if a lot of it is exhibition play. Still, it’s never too early to see who’s getting off on the right foot, so let’s dive into our weekly look at some of the kids we’re excited to see in the NHL one day.

Connor Hurley, C – Edina Hornets (Minn. HS)

Edina is one of the premier high school teams in Minnesota right now, producing NHL prospects such as Zach Budish, Lou Nanne and Max Everson. This is Hurley’s year – but the talented forward jumped the gun and had a fantastic 2011-12 campaign as well, leading the Hornets with 22 goals and 48 points in 25 games and to a berth in the state tournament, where they lost to the eventual champs from Benilde-St. Margaret’s. Still, Hurley came out smiling.
