By the time a player reaches the stage where he has a legitimate shot of being a first-round pick in the NHL Draft, many hockey fans are already familiar with his name.

That's not necessarily the case for Mark Jankowski -- but he's determined his relative obscurity doesn't last very long.

Jankowski spent the past two seasons playing forward for Stanstead College, a prep school in Quebec's Eastern Townships that has produced a number of NCAA Division 1 players over the past several years, but never someone who was this prominent on the NHL radar.

"Everyone says if you're good enough, you'll get noticed," Jankowski told NHL.com. "I always thought I was good enough and eventually I'd get noticed."
