MONTREAL – In his first full season as a starter in the OHL, Michael McNiven is proving his doubters wrong.
The 18-year-old Owen Sound Attack netminder, who signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Canadiens last September after going undrafted over the summer, has done nothing but impress since taking over the reins in goal in the Scenic City.
The league’s top rookie goaltender last season, McNiven wasted little time proving the Canadiens’ brass made the right decision inking him to a deal following a strong showing throughout the summer after coming in as a development camp invitee in July.
