Let’s end our exploration of the various scouting regions by returning home to the Canadian Hockey League.
Since Pierre Dorion was named the team’s general manager in 2016, the Senators have selected three players out of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL), nine out of the Western Hockey League (WHL), and five out of the Québec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL).
In this piece, we’ll offer some quick snippets of players ranked outside of the first- and second-rounds of the draft that interest me and potentially the Senators scouting staff.
Ontario Hockey League
- The OHL’s Rookie of the Month for March, centre Cedrick Guindon is a player out of nearby Rockland and has been a top point scorer at every level, whether it’s at the minor hockey level through Hockey Eastern Ontario, or finishing second in rookie points with 30 goals and 29 assists this season with Owen Sound.
