Jr. Wolf Pack Player on NHL Central Scouting Players to Watch

October 23, 2008

The NHL Central Scouting Bureau released their preliminary "Players to Watch" list yesterday and on that list was 6'5 250 lbs Jr. Wolf Pack defenseman Luke Curadi.

Luke has made himself known around the AJHL not only from his size and toughness but also from his ability to play the game.

So far this season Luke has had a lot of things come his way such as being recruited by several Div I schools to now getting placed on the NHL Central Scouting Watch List.

The List does not grantee he will be drafted this off season but it does guarantee that there will be a lot of eyes on him.

"Luke has come a long way from high school hockey in Connecticut. He was not getting this kind of attention there, he has almost a dozen Div I schools asking about him and now the NHL. In order for good players like Luke to really get looked at, they have to make the jump to Junior Hockey.

"Luke made the right decision playing for us as did many other high school age players in this area. I am very proud of how far he has come and if he does get drafted he deserves it," said Chris Cerrella.

Luke will continue to improve playing for Coach Cerrella and his goal is to help the Hartford Jr. Wolf Pack continue its rise to the top of the Atlantic Junior Hockey League.
