OHL Draft: Round 2, 39^th overall, 2014 Priority Selection

Jonah Gadjovich played his minor midget AAA hockey with the Whitby Wildcats during the 2013-2014 season where he scored 15 goals and added 15 assists in 23 games. He also played in the OHL Cup and the OHL Gold cup and appeared in 5 games in each of the Championships scoring once and adding three assists in each.

The Owen Sound Attack would select Gadjovich in the second round, thirty-ninth overall in the 2014 Ontario Hockey League Priority Selection.

The Owen Sound Attack have won 12 straight games and Gadjovich has played a major role in that run. In that span he has 15 goals and 8 assists giving him 25 goals and 16 assists through 36 games on the season. His 41 points put him fourth on the Attack scoring list.

As a late ’98 birthdate, Gadjovich is in his third season with the Attack. His rookie campaign saw him put up 4-5-9 totals in 60 games. He followed that up during the 2015-2016 season with 14-10-24 totals in 66 games. This season, he is playing in all situations and has 7 powerplay goals and a shorthanded goal.

Gadjovich plays with a shoot first mentality, being held off the shot board just once this season and all but two others have been multi-shot games, with a game high of twelve which he’s accomplished twice. And why wouldn’t he since he’s scoring on 15.7% of those shots.

Gadjovich is an average skater, but his size and strength enable him to drive the net with or without the puck, usually resulting in a scoring chance. He has a very good shot and not a stretch to say the best backhand in this draft class.

Gadjovich will battle for pucks in all the dirty areas, will take the hit to make a play and will throw a hit to separate his opponent from the puck. He is also very good at anticipating, taking away passes and causing turnovers.

Gadjovich was ranked 22^nd among OHL skaters 6oth among North American skaters on NHL Central Scouting mid-term ranking.
