10-25
No Bernier, which means he's still considered top 10!
Meanwhile, the man we'll continue to compare Hickey against:
Quote:
12. Karl Alzner, D - Washington Capitals
Height: 6'2, Weight: 210
There are many highly respected defensemen in the CHL, but it would be tough to find one that holds the same status as Washington Capitals prospect Karl Alzner. It is one of the reasons he was named captain of Team Canada for the 2008 World Junior Championship and also why he wears the "C" with the Calgary Hitmen. Outgoing and humble as can be, Alzner's off-ice personality can translate onto the ice where he is unselfish and exudes leadership. At his size, Alzner is an imposing defender at the junior level and plays a strong two-way game. His numbers dipped a bit this year but most would chalk that up to an incredibly deep Hitmen line-up that does not rely as heavily on their top blueliner as it may have last season.
