Owen Griffin has emerged as a promising talent in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL), playing for the Oshawa Generals. After a challenging rookie season, Griffin has bounced back in his sophomore year, proving his ability to adapt and thrive in high-level competition.

A Season of Growth with the Oshawa Generals

Griffin was selected sixth overall in the 2023 OHL Priority Selection by the Generals. His rookie season was a struggle, as he managed only six points throughout the campaign. However, his second season has been a different story. Griffin started strong, and has since maintained a steady offensive presence. He finished the season with 22 goals and 29 assists through 62 games. More importantly, he has raised his game to a new level in these playoffs with 15 goals and 11 assists through 16 games.

Griffin is known for his above average playmaking ability and hockey IQ. Despite his 5-foot-10, 170-pound frame, he is fearless in battling for pucks in tight areas. His puck handling and shooting skills could make him an offensive threat. Ranked 197th NHL Central Scouting’s mid-term rankings, he climbed all the way to 70^th on their final rankings (both among North American skaters), suggesting concerns about his size have also diminished.

One of Griffin’s standout qualities is his relentless motor. He excels in forechecking, using his speed and awareness to disrupt plays and create scoring opportunities. His defensive positioning is another strong suit, as he consistently places himself in passing lanes and supports teammates in transition.

Griffin is projected to be selected in the fourth or fifth round of the 2025 NHL Draft. While he may not have the flashiness of some top prospects, his hard-nosed playing style and ability to generate offense make him an intriguing pick for teams looking for a reliable two-way forward. If he continues his strong postseason performance, he could rise on draft boards before the big day.
