Anyone else notice that all our CHL prospects play for crap teams?

Hishon's team is the only one I remember that went far (actually won something) in the playoffs. I am thinking off the top of my head, but I think Nigel Williams was the last player besides Hishon who got into the Memorial Cup by making the OHL finals.

Is Blandisi another small skill forward (like Bourke, Hishon, Sgarbossa and Clark) or does he have a little bit more physicality.

It would be nice to have some more dimensions in the prospect pool.
