I found this article on how Minnesota high school hockey translates to the NCAA. He gave it an equivalency of 0.18.

Quote:
I looked at every player in that five-year period who had 48 or more points during the 25- or 26-game season. Normally goals and assists translate similarly, but high school hockey has a very low number of assists. It�s unclear if this is due to refereeing or too many individual efforts, but it�s virtually impossible for a defenseman � or a pure playmaker � to crack the scoring leaders.


Overall, Minnesota hockey translates to the NCAA (NHLE = 0.41) at approximately 0.18, giving an NHLE of 0.073. The translation to the USHL is 0.195; its translation to the NCAA is 0.65; the overall NHLE is 0.052. Via a similar process, the NHLE via the NAHL is also 0.052. This puts the difficulty level of Minnesota H.S. hockey somewhere between 5.2% and 7.3% - which is not very high: the leading scorer in Minnesota over the course of a decade might be good for 20 points as an 18-year-old rookie in the NHL.

I guess the question is how does Canadian High School Prep Hockey compare to Minnesota High School Hockey. I noticed that Stanstead competes in a league with the Edge School here Calgary where Jankowski played 13 games in that Prep league.

Anyways using the Minnesota high school equivalencies and Jankowski's 13 games, I came out with Jankowski should have scored at a .4158 rate in College. He scored at a .53 rate, so he had an above average year and is progressing.
