Oh. Thanks for letting me know. I thought I was missing something. I had to register the name, get a business number and so on to prevent an outside scouting group from using my information as their own. I wasn't so crass as to think I was going to make any money at it. I'm hoping to cover costs for what I put into it. I wondered if I would even make one sale. It kind of took off though in the first eight days surpassing anything I thought imaginable. I'm now partnering with an agency, developing a website and so on. I know that haters are gonna hate - the majority wouldn't pay a dime for it and so on - and I expect that. I don't know if it will go anywhere. The draft is still 5 months away and hopefully sales will continue to grow as the draft gets closer. If I do make any money - it will be cheaper next year. The people interested are what you'd expect - parents wondering where their kids are ranked and what's being said about them - scouts who don't want other scouts to get ahead of them - and scouting staffs who don't have all day - every day - to scour through reams of footage in French with distant players - struggling to match names and numbers - forever trying to isolate plays - FF - REV - but for some sick reason - I like doing it and find it a challenge. Best of luck. I’m just a fan with no need to invest at the moment but wishing you success with it. Awesome that you’ve been able to get things going with an agency!

If people don’t want to pay they won’t access it. If people want to see it, they pay the price. Time, effort and capital have gone into it so it’s not totally reasonable to expect someone to do it for free.
This isn’t directed at any one poster, just a general comment.

Wow - thank you for saying that. I didn't expect that from you and much respect for that. Whether you agree with someone’s scouting or not (not saying I don’t), if they’re putting in the work on something they deserve the opportunity to monetize it. If you don’t like it, just move on with your day.. it’s really that simple but for some reason, people don’t agree.

If that’s towards me (you said it’s not at anyone but I’m the only person who applies in this thread lol) I have no problem with anyone doing their thing and hopefully making a few bucks off it along the way. Just the way it was presented here seemed a bit odd to me. I was likely just reading too much into it. Power to ya Bomber, hope you get many more subscribers

And people will pay for something if they see it giving them an edge potentially or simply out of curiosity.

Time, effort and capital have gone into it so it’s not totally reasonable to expect someone to do it for free. This isn’t directed at any one poster, just a general comment. For sure. Totally agree. The original post just wasn’t clear that there was a price. So I followed the instructions to join but then couldn’t access the list so I thought I was missing a step. I simply misunderstood. I think the original post should just say there is a cost. For transparency and honesty and hey, maybe more sales! I have zero issue with paying for a service. I think it’s awesome that someone puts that much time and effort for those who wish to see the information. And time is valuable. So I wish you success

As of New Year's day - I have Dylan Rozzi at number 1 on my list. Alexis Joseph would have been number 1 had he filed for exceptional status, but he elected not to. I now have a master list of 457 players with stats updated weekly. All stats have been updated as of January 1st, 2024. As of this morning, there are 106 individual player profiles listed (about 6 full rounds). I add 2 or 3 more every day. These profiles will be updated after the U18 regular seasons have been completed (most teams have now played between 25 and 31 games of their usual 30-35 game seasons). We look at the Christmas break as the half way point in major junior and Junior A, but in U18, the regular seasons are quickly winding down. 189 of the 457 players have been identified as A; B; C and D prospects: A - 1st Round B - 2nd and 3rd Rounds C - 4th and 5th Rounds D - 6th, 7th and 8th Rounds All other prospects will be 9th round plus. How do you view this list?

How does this draft class stand up to previous classes? Haven't looked into it much, but I was wondering if the 2024 class would be considered deep or if it's a strong class compared to previous years. It seems a lot of the hype is going to the 2025 class because of Alexis Joseph. Will that be considered a stronger class because of him?

Good Job Bomber , keep on Posting , I haven't seen anybody else here with as much insight into the Draft , so who gives 2 Shits what they think . Given where they are in the Cycle ( go for it or year before go for it ) what would you do with the Saint John Pick ? If it ends up being 1st Overall , do you make the pick ? ......Do you trade for a Slam Dunk 19 year old NHL Draft Pick ? Do yo repeat the Peddle scenario ? Get an Impact Player and slide down in the Draft ? Does a Lottery Pick have enough Value to bring in a pair of Impact Players ?

I wouldn't put much stock into what people who come on the internet to complain about everything have to say. Purely just me speculating, but I would have to guess the Eagles have their eyes on Aidan O'Donnell with that top pick. He has 22 goals and 42 points in 28 games for Dartmouth in U18 and has been ranked quite high. Getting a Nova Scotia kid with a top pick, without having to reach would be amazing.
