Byron Ritchie, Len Barrie and to a lesser extend Rob Brown, Crazy points in junior.

Top scorers in 1996. You can see, only 1 of those players was able to translate it.

2. Frank Banham - 152
3. Hnat Domenichelli - 148
4. Jarome Iginla - 136
5. Rob Gordon - 114
6. Josh Holden - 112
7. Mike LeClerc - 111
8. Clarke Wilm - 110
9. Peter Schaefer - 108
10. Marty Flichel - 107 |
Bit of a flawed metic to only use point and not factor in age - run a top scorers list by draft eligible status.
