T.J. Oshie makes the Hot List.

Three former college hockey stars made The Hot List this week, of course not to be confused with the hot or not list. There were the following players; Max Pacioretty, Jeff Frazee's WJC back up Jeff Zatkoff and T.J. Oshie. Good to see the ex-college hockey players getting notice.

With prospect camps in full swing, The Hockey News’ Hot List – our weekly roundup of players we can’t wait to see in the NHL some day - looks at some of the names making early waves this summer.

4. Max Pacioretty, LW – Michigan Wolverines (CCHA): Foes of the Wolverines will be glad to hear they’ve seen the last of Pacioretty. The emerging power forward signed with the Montreal Canadiens last week, meaning he’ll likely play in the American League with Hamilton next season. Pacioretty’s departure leaves Michigan without its entire top line from last year, as linemates Chad Kolarik and Kevin Porter are already in the Phoenix Coyotes system. Drafted 22nd overall by Montreal in 2007.

5. Jeff Zatkoff, G – Miami RedHawks (CCHA): The now former RedHawk turned aside all 25 shots he faced in the Kings’ scrimmage game, including a penalty shot. With Zatkoff, Jonathan Bernier and Jon Quick, the Kings will have their choice of young hot goalies for years to come. Drafted 74th overall by Los Angeles in 2006.

10. T.J. Oshie, C – North Dakota Fighting Sioux (WCHA): It’s not a guarantee he’ll make the St. Louis roster, but it’s pretty darn close. The Blues have been patient with Oshie throughout his college career and the next step begins at training camp for the playmaking pivot. Drafted 24th overall by St. Louis in 2005.

Former Sioux Brian Lee vs Derek Dorsett

I found this video on line today and my first word of advice for former Fighting Sioux hockey and current Senators player Brian Lee is that I would stick to your day job, fighting is not your strong point. I do have to give him credit for dropping the gloves though.

Check out Rolston's goal against Giguere

I think this is one of best shots of the season, noticed I didn't say great move of the year because you can't top this. Former LSSU star and current Wild Forward Brian Rolston tees up one hell of a laser and Giggy get out of the way. Nice. Rolston is getting hot at the right time.

Burish vs Laperriere

Here is a pretty decent fight between Former Badger Adam Burish vs Av's goon Ian Laperriere. This fight took place in the game between the Chicago Blackhawks and the Colorado Avalanche on Jan 18, 2008.

Over on Hockeyfights.com I scored the fight as a slight edge to Laperriere. On could say that the former Wisconsin Badger Adam Burish has been racking up the penalty minutes, Burish has been in an impressive 8 fights and is leading his team in penalty minutes with 120.

WOW, Barch and May

This was a great hockey fight. It is no mystery why the Ducks are the top penalized team in the NHL. One could make the argument that the Ducks are the west coast version of the Broad Street Bullies.

I have been watching the Ducks more since Brandon Bochenski got traded from Bruins to the Ducks, it is amazing the amount of college players that are on the Ducks; Drew Miller Michigan State, Brandon Bochenski North Dakota, Ryan Carter Mankato, Chris Kunitz Ferris State, George Parros Princeton, Dough Weight Lake State. That is is an impressive list of college hockey all stars folks.
