What happened to the midget on HPL ? Trying to find his name on the draft list.
Not there…. Keep looking.
The draft is about projections. Anyone taken after round 11 is a favour or based on taking a flyer on a kid with some size. Any scout walking the arena takes 1 look at his parent’s height and that’s where things end. Kid put up stats on a team with 10 kids and all 5 D drafted. That is not translating to OHL success at that size. He’s a good little player, not worth a pick.

At best Junior C. Even then it’s becoming a better league.

Why has u18 Sarnia Junior Sting have not posted tryout time?
They and Windsor are not doing this ‘tryout’. They’re running as usual vs doing an organizational fundraiser from the lack of u10-u16 players that’ll show up due to open borders. The 09 group really gets the screw this year between the USOHL and U18 spring tryouts before jr camps.
