There are always surprises at the draft. Guys who are drafted in the first round and don’t make the NHL, or others who have great careers without even being drafted. It’s difficult, almost impossible, to predict which players drafted in the later rounds will become talented in the future.

The research team met with 95 young players, along with Remparts scouts, to administer tests. The tests were psychological in nature, measuring the players’ thinking, emotions and behaviors.
70 of the 95 players tested were selected after the 2nd round of the 2019 QMJHL draft. As Kevin Dubé of Le Journal de Montréal explains, these players were not considered among the elite in their sport, so the study focused on them.
3 years later, the researchers went to the Remparts to ask them which of the 70 players they had studied they would have liked to select in hindsight. Quebec singled out 15 players, all of whom were classified as “sleeping talent”, as Kevin DubĂ© reports.
One of the test processes showed a video sequence to the players. The researchers paused the video and then asked them what they would have done in the same situation. The researchers analyzed not only the players’ responses, but also their gaze.
