OHL’s Draft Eligible Regular Season Statistical Leaders

Posted on by Dominic Tiano

The Ontario Hockey League regular season has come to an end. So, who leads the way statistically?

Sault Ste Marie Greyhounds’ defenceman Conor Timmins has been on the rise all season long in draft rankings, as he should be. Whether he can continue to climb during the OHL playoffs will be determined in the next couple of weeks but there is no disputing his regular season.

Timmins led all draft eligible defencemen in the point race rather comfortably. His 61 points were 15 points ahead of Mississauga Steelheads’ rearguard Nicolas Hague and his 46 points. Markus Phillips of the Owen Sound Attack finished third with 43 points. Timmins finished fourth among all OHL defencemen in points.

Timmins also finished in the top 10 in scoring among all draft eligible players-the only defenceman in the top-10. Nick Suzuki of the Attack led the way with 96 points, followed by Jason Robertson of the Kingston Frontenacs with 81 and Owen Tippett of the Steelheads with 75. Suzuki finished fifth among all OHL skaters.

Timmins also led all draft eligible players in plus/minus with a plus-53. Suzuki comes in second with a plus-51 while Phillips comes in third at a plus-41. There are many who don’t put much stock into the plus/minus stats, but there is a telling tale there.

Finally, Timmins led all draft eligible players in assists with 54. Suzuki once again comes in second behind Timmins with 51 followed by Robert Thomas of the London Knights with 50. There is a bit of a drop off to fourth with the Greyhounds Morgan Frost and his 42 assists.

Another player climbing draft charts is Timmins’ teammate, goaltender Matthew Villalta. Yours truly has made no bones about it: Villalta should be the Hounds starter for the playoffs and should be allowed to roll with it.

The walk-on free agent finished second to Windsor Spitfires’ Michael DiPietro in wins – 5 fewer in 18 less games played and goals against average, 2.35 to 2.41 respectively. Villalta topped in save percentage with .918 to DiPietro’s .917.

We take great care in updating stats, but please refer to the OHL website for official stats.
