“A spectacular start to the playoffs has helped both Sam Reinhart and Michael Dal Colle move up the ISS rankings," comments ISS Hockey Director of Scouting Dennis MacInnis. “With their last chance to show their development before the draft, both are averaging close to two points per game, while leading their respective clubs towards championship titles.”
