Called Up: The Hockey Prospects Podcast

We're getting closer and closer to real hockey once again, but the 2026-27 hockey season is going to be unlike any other. This is the second year of CHL players being eligible to play college hockey and it has caused a dramatic shift in the way both junior and college will look.

Chris and Cam get into it, in detail and offer a lot of opinions on the topic.

Before that, however, the Called Up crew shares thoughts on the somber news regarding Arizona State's Matthew Mayich and extend thoughts to the 21-year-old who remains in the hospital after collapsing during off-ice training last week. We extend our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to Mayich and his family and friends during this difficult time.

Chris and Cam also dive into some major college hockey recruiting news as Michigan landed two high-end prospects for the 2027 NHL Draft -- Dima Zhilkin and Shaeffer Gordon-Carroll.

Then it's onto the biggest topic of the summer including the shifting demographics of college hockey, what it means for the junior ranks, why USA Hockey is growing concerned about the trends and where things go from here. Chris and Cam also talk about their own thoughts about player development and why the decisions of where to play are never all that simple.

Then we get after it with our regular staples, The Called Up Challenge, Beyond Belief and You Have To Pick One.

You know it's August when the hockey internet is ablaze with player debates. And Called Up was more than happy to jump into one of the most heated player evaluation discussions in recent memory.

Before we get to that, though, Chris and Cam dish on their favorite players for the 2027 NHL Draft early on and the players that are intriguing for the upcoming draft season. Dima Zhilkin led the way in that discussion as the Called Up guys discuss one of the more exciting prospects for the class.

After that, though, they had to dive into the discourse surrounding The Athletic's recent U23 player rankings from Corey Pronman. Chris and Cam talk about the fervor surrounding Zach Benson being ranked so low, Gabe Perreault not being ranked at all and Jacob Fowler being so low in the Habs pool rankings.

WE'RE BaaaAAAAaaack!!!! After a few weeks off, Season 3 of Called Up: The Prospects Podcast is here and we're getting you geared up for the 2027 NHL Draft season.

It's the Landon DuPont draft and we break down why he's the No. 1 prospect coming into the season, why teams will scrutinize him more heavily and who could end up as his biggest competition.

We're also talking about the other players you should know for 2027 including top Russian prospect Nazar Privalov, Milan Sundstrom, Jonah Neunschwander, Alexis Joseph and many more.

We dig into why Joseph's stock has dipped coming into the season and why early hype can sometimes be a detriment.

Plus we examine questions like Where are all the other defensemen for this draft after DuPont? Is this another alarmingly down year for the USA? And could Maddox Schultz and Liam Pue leapfrog the 2027-eligibles for some key spots at the World Juniors?
