The Hockey News prepared a short guide with the top 10 prospects at The Hlinka-Gretzky Cup. [The Hockey News]
While many top 2020 draft prospects were off playing at the World Junior Summer Showcase in Plymouth, the rest of the draft class was busy preparing for the Hlinka-Gretzky Cup, set for August 5-10 in Breclav and Piestany, Czech Republic. Compared to the U-18 World Championship in April, the Hlinka-Gretzky Cup typically features more high-level talent due to the junior hockey cycle still taking place during the championship in the spring, while playing this event in the summer allows prospects to be available.
