Toronto, ON - The Canadian Hockey League today announced that defenceman Jordan Subban of the Belleville Bulls will compete for Team Cherry at the 2013 Home Hardware CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game which takes place on Wednesday January 16 at the Halifax Metro Centre.
A 17-year-old from Rexdale, ON, Subban is playing in his second OHL season after being chosen by the Bulls fifth overall in the 2011 OHL Priority Selection. Ranked 17th among OHL skaters by NHL Central Scouting in their Preliminary Draft Rankings in the Fall, he leads the Bulls' defence corps with 27 points including seven goals and 20 assists in 39 games played this season.
Subban replaces Ryan Pulock of the Brandon Wheat Kings who is unable to compete due to injury.
Last season's game in Kelowna, BC, featured 10 players that were selected in the first round of the 2012 NHL Draft including Ryan Murray of the Everett Silvertips who was selected second overall by the Columbus Blue Jackets. Since the event was first introduced in 1996 the game has featured 10 players that were selected with the first overall pick in the NHL Draft including Chris Phillips, Joe Thornton, Vincent Lecavalier, Rick Nash, Marc-Andre Fleury, Patrick Kane, Steven Stamkos, John Tavares, Taylor Hall, and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins.
