Guelph is getting by with more than a little help from their elite defenseman.
The Storm played three games last week, posting a record of 1-0-2. That this team wasn’t able to amass more than four points from that trio of games can’t really be laid on Ryan Merkley, though; the San Jose Sharks prospect recorded eight assists in that span. As a result, he not only took over the scoring lead among Ontario Hockey League defensemen, he also rose among the league leaders in helpers.
The Storm kicked the week off with a rare weeknight game — come on, some of these kids have school the next morning!
