John Mitchell may be remembered by some as an underrated depth player in the successful miracle year 2013-14 season. Others may remember him as a shell of himself in that horrific 48-point season in 2016-17. Mitchell experienced both the highs and lows in Colorado.
Mitchell was born in Oakville, Ontario in 1985. At just 15-years old, Mitchell broke onto the scene with the Waterloo Siskins in the MWJHL. In 47 games, he recorded 15 goals and 29 assists for 44 points. Just under a point a game player, Mitchell certainly had eyes glancing his way for his performance at such a young age.
