Owen Tippett was highly regarded as one of the better scorers in the 2017 draft class and for good reason. The right-winger dominated midget leagues as a sixteen-year-old before exploding for the OHL’s Mississauga Steelheads.
At age eighteen, Tippett dominated the OHL during the 2016-17 season. His 75 points (44G & 31A) in 60 games for the Steelheads made him one of the most highly sought-after prospects in Canada.
What really made Tippett appealing was his 2017 playoff run. Tippett played twenty games, bagging 19 points (10G & 9A) and leading the Steelheads to the OHL Playoff Finals.
