Scouting Services (Redline, McKeens, ISS)

[TobiasE]

Hey all,
just wondering if anyone has insight on scouting services out there like Redline, ISS, McKeens etc... I know those are the top 3 from what I have heard.

I am looking to possibly get a subscription to these sites but don't know who is the leader. ISS is affiliated with TSN and uses their rankings to compare over the season.
They seem like more of a professional run organization?

Any insight

Is McKeen's still doing it? They didn't put out a draft guide last year, but did the past few years before? They're run through Yahoo so I'm sure the funds are there.

Are you looking for information about the NHL draft or OHL draft?

Looking for the best information on the NHL draft... I looked into ISS and it seems to be focused on reports for organizations (NHL clubs, TSN) compared to a fans draft info

ISS, McKeen's, Future Consideration are all solid choices.

There's only a few good ones for the OHL draft.

I understand that Redline is used by many NHL teams for upcoming drafts

Hey guys, I scout for HockeyProspect.com, you can throw us into the mix. We cover the NHL and OHL draft, we're recognized through the hockey community if you ask GM's, Coaches, etc. we've got a good rep across the league, and are accredited by the CHL. Also we've nailed some great picks the past draft. To my knowledge we were the only service that had Zibanejad Top 6, and we had the highest ranking of Stuart Percy of any other service (Percy is one I'm particularly proud of for obvious reasons). We were also well regarded in draft guide season, but we have an all year round service of constant information.

We got a lot of great reviews around draft guide season by fellow HF boards posters as well in this thread. http://hfboards.com/showthread.php?t=891707

Also we have started a new monthly newsletter, September's was a free preview, to show fans what the newsletter will offer, and opens with our preseason rankings there. http://www.hockeyprospect.com/scouting/ this is the portal to the scouting part of the site, at the bottom you'll find a ''LINK'' it will take you to our September newsletter.

Finally if you want to follow me on my journey this year, I'm on twitter. I know some HF members already follow me, but it's "RyanHPscout" and I cover primarily Western Ontario and Eastern Michigan but I do make trips to cover many Eastern Conference games in the OHL, also I'll be covering some USHL games this year. I do work for the OHL draft as well, but it's about 75/25 NHL/OHL. I'm really not on here much, I created this in the spring to help answer any questions about the draft guide, I used to a while back before I got into the field, but I happened to see this thread, and just wanted to let you guys know that we are out there.

If you guys have any questions feel free to PM me on here, or DM on Twitter, i'll certainly do my best to answer any questions about us you might have. I'm not here to push our service on you, just wanted to let you guys know that we're out there, and let you get a look at the work we do. Thanks for your time hockey fans.
