Janesville Jets News Release


The North American Hockey League (NAHL) announced today the rosters for next month's NAHL Top Prospects Tournament, which will be held from February 18 - 20, 2013, at the Troy Sports Center in Troy, Michigan.

Five Janesville Jets players were selected:

Jets Goaltender Brock Kautz, forwards Conor Lemirande and Todd Koritzinsky, and defenseman Alec Vanko were selected to the Midwest team. Also, Jets defensman Ruslan Pedan was selected to the NAHL 18U Selects squad. "This is a great opportunity for our players to play in front of every Division 1 school in the country and to also showcase their talents in front of NHL scouts," stated Janesville Jets Head Coach Joe Dibble. "These five guys deserve the recognition of being top players in the North American Hockey League. I know they will represent the Janesville Jets organization in a very proud manner. We wish them the best of luck in the Top Prospects Tournament."

Attached you will find the complete rosters for each team with player height, weight, birthdate and hometown information.

The number of players each NAHL team can send to the tournament, in which five teams from the five different regional groups: Dakota, Frontier, Great Lakes, Midwest and Texas and a special sixth NAHL 18U Selects team, will each play three games, is based on each team's winning percentage within their group on January 14, 2013.

In a very short period of time, the NAHL Top Prospects Tournament has become one of the most highly-scouted events of its kind. Last season, over 160 scouts attended the event, which featured almost every NHL team and NCAA Division I school. Over a third of the players that competed in last year's event ended up with an NCAA Division I opportunity.
