ABSTRACT
The goal of this study is to train various supervised learning classifiers in order to predict which prospects eligible for the NHL's annual entry draft are most likely to develop into successful NHL players, based only on each player's pre-draft inputs such as draft year goal and assist rates, league and country of origin, age, and height.
