OHL: Sudbury Adds Three For Next Season
The Sudbury Wolves added three players this week, including a goalie from Denmark as well as a forward out of Selects Academy in prep hockey. The week started with the…
Brody Crane
First off, Brody can fly. He’s got quick feet, an extremely powerful stride and is very smooth when transitioning body weight to move laterally. He’s a player who doesn’t slow down when the puck is on his stick and there’s no doubt that he is an…
Nicholas VanTassell
A lot of of big kids who can dominate physically cheat all over the ice. Nicholas does not. He shows a good understanding of cutting the ice in half while on the forecheck, having an active stick to shut down passing or shooting lanes and he forces players at the lines to create off-sides and icings. This stuff might go unnoticed by the toe drag crew, but it is the little details that college and pro coaches notice because they’ll have to spend less time teaching it.
Ontario Bantam: Top 185 Prospects
Below is a listing of Bantams (skaters only) during this shortened season who certainly caught our eye on our go round, categorized into three groups. Our A+ group are the players who we felt just played at a higher level than the rest of the field. Our next category level, A, were players we felt provided great game impact and will certainly impact the minor midget AAA level next season. Our third and final category, B+, were players we felt showed the potential to develop into very good prospects should they continue to work hard at their games.

Colby Saganiuk is reportedly set to leave the U.S. NTDP in favor of the Erie Otters in the OHL. Saganiuk, who is also committed to Penn State, would lose his…
Patrick Geary
Honestly, I like his jam. I like his compete. And I like the fact that he sticks up for his goalie and doesn’t take any crap. I have no idea where he’ll end up this year, but he’s a kid I’ll be looking for.
Devin Kaplan
I’m legitimately excited to watch his development over the next few years. He’s a kid that the U.S.N.T.D.P. can do great things for. Being on the ice every day training with the best kids in the U.S. is going to really ramp up his intensity and attention to detail. It’s going to be great preparation for all of the kids, but I really think the increased intensity is going to make his game take off.

Joe Muldowney
Joe Muldowney taken 110th Overall by the Owen Sound Attack Joe Muldowney (4.25 Star Amateur Rating, 2020 NHL Grade – NA) ForwardHere is what our Head of Ontario Scouting Paul…
David Goyette
David can distribute the puck while his feet are in motion or stop on a dime to create space. There’s no such thing as “train tracks” for him.
Brady Stonehouse
Brady Stonehouse (4.5 Star Amateur Rating, 2020 NHL Grade – NA) Forward-26th Overall, Ottawa 67s Director of Scouting in Ontario, Paul O’Hagan: One of the best skaters in the age…
Chase Pietila
He’s strong in the corners battling and his ass is his center of gravity… not his head. That’s huge for a big man.
Evan Konyen
Evan Konyen taken in the fourth round by the Sudbury Wolves in the OHL Draft. Brian Murphy’s take: Sometimes players jump off the ice and specific skills are evident. Their…
Spencer Sova
He has always put up good numbers, but what makes me really start paying attention is his willingness and ability to defend. He plays stick on puck, but does not…
Gavin Brindley
I thought he was a given for the NTDP, but he may be a player who is better off in the long run by not being on that roster. He’s competitive as hell and I hope he’s using the snub as gas.
Nathan Lewis
Nathan Lewis went #137 and Brian Murphy thinks Kitchener has something cooking with the lanky Lewis. I’ve seen Nathan play a few times. Someone said the Rangers took a chance…
Aiden Dubinsky
Aiden Dubinsky was drafted the OHL London Knights #219 overall on Saturday. VP Brian Murphy smells value and sees quality. Aiden is listed at about 5’10” but plays much bigger….
