Players to Watch:
Jonathan Ang (Markham Waxers) – Jonathan is a smoother skater and highly skilled forward. Ang has the skill to create something whenever he has the puck and opposing teams have to know when he is on the ice. He notched a hat trick in his game against the Ajax/Pickering Raiders earlier in the week.
Brandon Saigeon (Hamilton Jr. Bulldogs) – Saigeon has all the tools to be THE top power forward in the OMHA this season and he is undoubtedly an elite level OHL draft prospect. Brandon had a strong season opener against the Halton Hurricanes registering a goal and two helpers.
Colin Tonge (Kingston Jr. Frontenacs) – Colin has started the season on a tear. He is currently the leading point getter in the ETA and had a massive game last time out with a four goal, five point performance against Oshawa. Tonge has lit the lamp in every league game he has played in so far this season and he and teammate Christopher Paquette may be the best one-two combinations in the ETA this season.
