Have you ever thought of which major junior league produces the best NHL talent?
Well, the creator of �'Hockey Prospecting'' Byron Bader has you covered, as he recently released a report on the success rates from the biggest junior leagues in Europe and North America.
Taking a look at the draft from 1990 to 2022, 49.9% of skaters came from the Canadian Hockey League (OHL, WHL, QMJHL), however, the best success rate in North America comes from the USNDP.
Pro European leagues have a high success rate relatively although a slightly smaller sample size.
I would take this data with a grain of salt as with most players being from the CHL, that also means a lot of late draft picks came from those leagues as well. It would be interesting to see a weighted analysis considering which picks were used and efficiency in that manner.
