Players to Watch
Allen is a player that makes a big contribution to his Pete’s team both on and off the score sheet. He plays a very hard and honest game, competing from the time he touches the ice until he gets off. The captain of this team shows he wants to win and will do what it takes to do so, either by scoring or playing with an edge trying to shut down opposing players. James is a point a game player (20gp 8g-13a-21pts) while also putting up 60 penalty minutes this season.
Schultz is one of the best two way players in the SCTA this season. He is a great skater with great hands and this combined with the work ethic he brings to the ice makes him a player for OHL scouts to watch this season. Eddie does a very sound job of taking care of his own end and if Halton is up by a goal you want him on the ice late in games. He is very strong on face-offs making him a valuable player for the Hurricanes.
Olivier is a focused goaltender that is ready from the drop of the puck until the final buzzer. He has good size standing at 6’1” and is very mobile allowing him to move around the crease quickly with ease. Lafreniere has a knack for staying square to the shooter and uses his frame to let pucks he can’t see hit him. He is one of the top goaltenders in the OMHA this season.
