Relatively few Los Angeles Kings prospects can be found in the NCAA ranks this year in comparison to past seasons. Of the seven prospects, two have been integral parts to the exceptional beginning of the Miami University RedHawks season. But none of the seven prospects are the sure impact players like Michael Cammalleri and Jack Johnson of past years. All are vying for a position in the organizational depth chart upon graduation.
The RedHawks of 2007-08 are staking their claim as one of the best college hockey teams since the merger of Division I and Division II hockey. The team leads all college hockey with the highest goals-for average and lowest goals-against average, resulting in an enormous goal differential. More than the 11-1 domination of Canisius or the 9-2 shellacking of Northern Michigan, the Red Hawks have been bringing it defensively every night, giving up two goals or less for their first 16 games. This supremacy on the defensive side has a pair of Kings prospects at the heart of it.
