The Flint Firebirds’ 2018-19 season was over pretty much immediately after it began. And with the OHL’s trade deadline passing on January 10, any chance of appearing in the playoffs this year with a different team disappeared.
And yet, without anything really left to play for this season, Firebirds captain and Dallas Stars first rounder Ty Dellandrea continues to perform at a high level and lead by example for his hockey club.
If anything, in fact, his play has only gotten better as of late.
The 200-foot center has scored 13 points over his past four games, including a stellar five-point performance versus the Sarnia String on Saturday.
