Inside the Scout’s Room: What 35+ Years of NHL & Major Junior Talent Evaluation Reveals for Players and Parents

We had the privilege of sitting down with three elite scouts—JF Damphousse (NHL Central Scouting), Stéphane Leblanc (San Jose Sharks), and Luc Michaud (Rimouski Océanic). With 35+ years of combined experience, they shared what scouts really look for, how athletes can uncover their player identity, how to approach interviews, and a ton of practical insight for both players and parents.
