Connor McDavids jersey retirement in Erie ten years after his last OHL game has me thinking is this too soon While his junior career was undeniably impressive, does it warrant such a high honour this early What are the criteria for retiring a junior hockey jersey, and does McDavid truly meet them beyond exceptional status and impressive stats His OHL championship absence stands out. Does individual brilliance outweigh team accomplishments at the junior level This begs the question what truly defines a legacy at this stage of a players career Is this setting a precedent for future exceptional status players, potentially diminishing the value of such honours Lets discuss. I predict a wave of similar retirements in the OHL within the next decade, potentially leading to an inflation of this honour. Your thoughts
