Prospect Team of the Week

Forwards

After dealing with some setbacks due to early season injuries, Ridly Greig has found his groove in November with four points in four games including a goal and an assist this past week in Belleville. Greig has also averaged two shots per game this month. Greig has the potential to piece together the best season Belleville has seen since Josh Norris (health permitting) and even if he doesn’t quite put up Norris-esque numbers, we’ll take it.

After missing time due to a training camp injury, captain of the Vancouver Giants, Zack Ostapchuk, has settled in and suddenly leads his team in points-per-game with three goals and eight assists through five games in November. Ostaphcuk also now averages over three shots per game. Vancouver has won six of their last ten games, inching closer to a .500 record after a dreadful start in their captain’s absence.

Carson Latimer has also taken over the team lead, in Prince Albert, in points-per-game with three goals and seven assists this month through six games while averaging 2.5 shots per game over that same span. The Raiders haven’t enjoyed much team success of late despite Latimer’s heroics as they continue to languish the eastern conference basement.

Defence

The points haven’t come easy for Tomas Hamara but he continues to shoot the puck more than any other defender in Kitchener and he reaped the benefits with his second goal of the season this past week. Hamara has only taken three penalties through fourteen games in his first OHL season and has only gone one game without registering at least one shot.

Jorian Donovan ranks second in team scoring among defenders with eight points and tied for fourth in overall team scoring. So far through five games in November Donovan has four points and a whopping 17 shots on goal while taking just a handful of penalties in the past month.

Goaltender

Mads Søgaard faced (and stopped) just eight shots before leaving his lone appearance with injury. It doesn’t seem like anything too serious with Kevin Mandolese already injured, things feel bleak in Belleville. Both of Ottawa’s goaltending prospects in Europe (all of their players in Europe) had this past week off.

Infirmary

Joining Mandolese and Søgaard on the injured list in Belleville (not to mention Thomas Chabot, Josh Norris, and Artem Zub in Ottawa) Jonathan Aspirot, Roby Järventie, and Viktor Lodin sat out this past week for the BSens. Tyler Kleven played for North Dakota but sustained an injury in his lone game. Chandler Romeo remains on the injured reserve in Sarnia while Tyler Boucher continues to serve a suspension for the 67s. Buckle up for a long season, folks.
