Hayton, Dobson top testing at Top Prospects Game

Barrett Hayton of the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds and Noah Dobson of the Acadie-Bathurst TItan are the toast of testing at the 2018 CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game.

Hayton finished at the top of the overall standings in the off-ice portion, which factored results in seven different fields, at the testing held at the University of Guelph. Off-ice performance included strength testing, agility runs, and leg power evaluations.

Defenseman Kevin Bahl of the Ottawa 67’s finished in second in testing; London Knights defenseman Evan Bouchard finished third.

Dobson led the on-ice portion. On-ice testing included forward and backward sprints, reaction, weave agility, and transition agility drills each performed with and without a puck.

Defenseman Ty Smith of the Spokane Chiefs tied for second with London Knights forward Liam Foudy; Dmitry Zavgorodniy of the Rimouski Oceanic finished fourth.
