FAIRFIELD COUNTY, Conn. -- Hockey players from Greenwich, Darien and Ridgefield were among the players listed last week when the NHL's Central Scouting Bureau released its midterm ranking of 2015 draft candidates from North America.

Johnny McDermott of Darien, McKay Flanagan of Ridgefield and William Somers of Greenwich are among the players who made the list. All three boys are members of private school hockey teams.

They were among the players featured in a MaxPreps’ article on standouts in the New England Prep School Athletic Council teams who drew interest from NHL scouts.
