Sean Day was granted exceptional status by Hockey Canada in 2013, allowing him to play his 15-year-old season in the OHL. Since then, his OHL career has been marred by inconsistency, but the raw upside is still very evident.
His OHL career began with an underwhelming 2013-2014 season on a weak Mississauga Steelheads squad. The following season, Day made notable progression, tallying 36 points in 61 games, and was one of the Steelheads' top players throughout the season.
At the onset of this past season, it looked like Day was ready for the next step. He had a strong previous season and the young Steelheads team brought in a ton of fresh talent.
