Wichita Falls Wildcats News Release
Twenty-seven North American Hockey League players have been placed on the National Hockey League Central Scouting Bureau's Watch List, which was released on Thursday, November 3, 2005. On that list was Wichita Falls' own Andrew Conboy
The NAHL had more players placed on the Watch List than any other junior hockey league in North America.
The Watch List provides an early indication of those players who, in the opinion of the NHL Central Scouting Bureau, may have draft potential and should be seen by the scouts of NHL clubs. The list is provided to each NHL team management for their review and is drawn from the pool of those players eligible for the 2006 NHL Entry Draft -- 1986, 1987 and to September 15, 1988 birthdates, concentrating on the '87s and '88s. As the season progresses, the list may change depending how a player is progressing.
"It is a great accomplishment to be recognized as a top prospect in North America" said Conboy, when asked about being selected to the list. Conboy credits his success to his teammates pushing him, his aggressive style of play and his hard work on and off of the ice.
"We congratulate the players on the NHL Central Scouting Watch List and we congratulate our teams and their coaches for their outstanding efforts in developing these players," said NAHL commissioner and President Michael Santos. "At the same time, this is an accomplishment for our entire league, for it is the outstanding competition in the NAHL that helps bring out the best in all our players. We thank NHL Central Scouting for recognizing the rapidly escalating talent level and quality of play in the NAHL. " (Excerpt from the NAHL Website)
The entire Wichita Falls Wildcats Organization congratulates Andrew Conboy on being recognized with this special honor.
