Top NHL Draft prospect Mackenzie Blackwood is known today for his goaltending skills; as the top netminder ranked by NHL Central Scouting entering the 2015 NHL Draft, Blackwood’s name has been on many lips as of lately.
Though goaltenders don’t often get picked too high in the draft, Blackwood should easily be one of the first, if not the first, netminders picked this coming weekend in Sunrise.
Blackwood, 18, hails from Thunder Bay, Ontario and has spent the last two seasons tending the net for the OHL’s Barrie Colts.
He enters the 2015 NHL Draft ranked #1 by NHL Central Scouting among North American goaltenders, was ranked #35 by TSN’s Bob McKenzie and #39 by Hockeyprospect.
