416 3212800 torres earns high marks from scouts bymikehayakawa sports editor raff1torres markham native earns rave reviews from hockey scouts raffi torres is honoured that the national hockey leagues central scouting bureau has a high regard for his playing abil ities at the same time though the 18yearold markham native is not about to let the recognition he recently earned alter his mannerism in its first player rankings of the sea son the bureau projected the 6foot2 205pound torres as being the top prospect from the ontario hockey league that will be eligible for the next nhldraft amassing 35 goals and 27 assists last season as a rookie left winger with the brampton batallion torres is well on his way to eclipsing those figures this year with a teamleading 16 goals and 15 assists in 26 outings torres acknowledged the bureaus recent report caught him off guard i didnt know there would be a ranking and i never expect ed to be rated high he said ive always thought of myself as being a sleeper but i was pleasantly shocked making torres current ranking even more intriguing was the fact that the batallion did not select him until the sixth round in their first year of operations two years ago i didnt deserve to go any higher torres acknowledged of his selection after playing one year of tier two junior a hockey with the thornhill rattlers i really didnt dedicate myself to the game back then markham waxers head coach russ herrington who had torres during his time behind the rattlers bench felt that ohl clubs were missing the boat what the ohl clubs over looked herrington said was his work ethic and feel for the game this was especially evident during practice sessions we appreciated him more than the scouts because we saw him every day in practice he did things in practice that made me shake my head his overall natural skill was incredible his hockey sense and smarts were what set him apart what torres did in practices back then with the rattlers has carried over with the batallion and it is here where torres attributes much of his recent success ive been working on my shooting and i might run every day after practice the practices have been helpful helping to shape the work ethic torres has adapted was batallion head coach stan butler and torres feels thankful to have butler looking over his shoulder he comes from a big background of hard work and giving it your all and 100 per cent torres said of his coach he said practice is like going to school and not getting your credits whats the point in going to school i took that into perspec tive along with having the good fortune of playing for butler torres said much of what hes accomplished would not be pos sible without good linemates in centreman jeff bateman and right winger lukas havel theyve been getting me the puck and the numbers kept coming theyve definitely helped my confidence while torres is pleased that the scouts have a high regard for him he realizes the recent rankings can change before the end of the season torres refuses to let the rankings interfere with his goal of playing in the nhl im not worried about going in the first second or third round i just want to
