I was watching a recap of the nhl draft and they were talking about the players that were being picked and he said 1994 draft prospects. I didn't know that he was talking about the age and the year the players were born. I thought most of the players be drafted were in their early 20s. My question is why are the hockey players getting drafted at a young age. I'm only asking because I'm a basketball fan and basketball doesn't even draft players that young anymore, the youngest used to be 18. I have another question about the nhl but ill ask that later.
