Four players who received A ratings in NHL Central Scouting's players to watch list presented by BioSteel will be among the 47 taking part in the 2023 BioSteel All-American Game.

Gabriel Perreault, William Smith and Ryan Leonard each will play forward for Team Blue. Oliver Moore will be a center for Team White.
The game will be played at USA Hockey Arena in Plymouth, Michigan, on Jan. 16 (4 p.m. ET; NHLN). Players for the game were chosen from the USA Hockey National Team Development Program Under-18 team and the United States Hockey League.
Perreault (6-foot, 210 pounds), a left wing, leads the NTDP with 49 points (23 goals, 26 assists) in 29 games. He is the younger brother of Anaheim Ducks forward prospect
Jacob Perreault
, and the son of former NHL forward Yanic Perreault.
"He's just a dynamic offensive player," director of NHL Central Scouting Dan Marr said. "He's got a lot of deceptive speed and moves to his game and has a really good finishing shot."
Smith (6-foot, 178), a center, is second with 47 points (18 goals, 29 assists) in 26 games.
Leonard (5-11, 190), a right wing, is second with 20 goals and fourth with 34 points in 24 games.
"He plays a physical game, but it's also just that power and his skating and his ability to separate," NTDP coach Dan Muse said. "Combine that with his stick skills and shot and he's been able to create a lot off of that combination."
Moore (5-11, 188), a center, is third with 39 points (17 goals, 22 assists) in 29 games.
Also selected for the game was goalie Trey Augustine. In 14 games with the NTDP, he is 12-0-2 with a 2.10 goals-against average and .930 save percentage. A B-rated prospect, he currently is playing with the United States at the 2023 IIHF World Junior Championship.
"He's only 17 years old but his preparation is one of the very best I've ever seen from a player his age," Muse said. "He's so strong technically, but there's a calming presence with the way he plays the game."
