The Owen Sound Attack have been on a tear during the second half of the Ontario Hockey League’s season and a big part of their success has been the performance of Nick Suzuki.
In 11 February games, Suzuki scored 11 goals and 11 assists and finished with a plus-15. He now has 34 goals and 45 assists in 56 games to lead the Owen Sound Attack with 79 points. Suzuki leads all draft eligible players in points, is third in goals, second in assists, and second in plus-minus.

Suzuki was named third star on February 4 with a two goal performance in a 4-1 victory over the Windsor Spitfires, first star on February 12 with three goals in the Attack’s 5-0 win over the Kingston Frontenacs, second star on February 17 when he notched a goal and five assists in a 6-1 win over the London Knights, first star on February 23 in a 5-0 win over the Kitchener Rangers with two goals and an assist and second star on February 25 with two goals and two assists in a 7-3 win over the London Knights.
Also considered was Suzuki’s teammate Jonah Gadjovich. In 12 games in February, Gadjovich had 13 goals and six assists. He now has 40 goals on the season, tops on the Attack as well as among all draft eligible players. His 65 points on the season is good for third among draft eligible players.
The North Bay Battalion selected Brady Lyle with their first-round selection, 18th overall at the Ontario Hockey League’s Priority Selection in 2015 after a season with Shattuck St. Mary’s U-16 squad after scoring 16 goals and adding 28 assists in 55 games.
Lyle’s OHL debut was derailed when he broke his collarbone in an exhibition game just minutes into the contest and missed the first two months of the season. Once he returned, his role was that of a bottom pairing defenceman.

One thing that can not be underestimated when it comes to Lyle is the effect Coach Stan Butler has. While not all his defenders go onto be superstars, he has a knack for getting his d-men to play as solid a defensive game as possible, and sometimes beyond. For those that have offensive abilities, they go on to be solid two-way defenders. See Cam Dineen as the latest example.
Lyle has good but not great size already. He possesses good speed and agility with very good edge work. His mobility is slightly underrated. He has an ability to carry the puck up ice and maintain possession. He also has an excellent first pass and is very adept at clearing his zone with the pass or by skating the zone. He’ll need to improve doing so under pressure however.
Lyle has strong hockey sense and vision that make him a two-way defender. Lyle could stand to be more physical and that may come as he adds more muscle to his frame. He is excellent at positioning himself in the d-zone and his stick is very active. He transitions to the offense with relative ease, almost always making the right decisions.
Offensively, Lyle has shown to make the right choices when pinching and keeping plays alive. His vision allows him to find his teammates to create scoring opportunities. He’s shown he can quarterback the powerplay. He has a heavy and accurate shot from the point as well.
Lyle was ranked 53rd on the National Hockey League Central Scouting’s mid-term rankings in January.
After playing the 2014-2015 season with Detroit Honeybaked U16 squad, where he scored 15 goals and 14 assists in 26 games, the Erie Otters selected Ivan Lodnia in the first round, 20th overall at the Ontario Hockey League’s Priority Selection in 2015.
Last season, Lodnia made a quick and easy adjustment to the OHL. He appeared in 62 games and scored 16 goals and 23 assists while seeing his role change from game-to-game and shift-to-shift. He would often be moved up and down the lineup, fitting in any role almost seamlessly. Lodnia would also appear in five games for the U.S. National U-17 Team scoring twice.
In August, Lodnia would play for team USA at the Ivan Hlinka Tournament. He scored 3 goals and added an assist in 4 games for the Americans.
This season, Lodnia’s role has been reduced somewhat, but it’s not for lack of ability. The Otters loaded up at trade deadline for a legit chance to capture the OHL Championship and Memorial Cup. “Dropping” Lodnia down give the Otters exceptional depth and a scoring threat wherever he plays.

The first concern you have with Lodnia is his size. But he has grown some and is probably closer to 5’11” now then the listed 5’10’ and still has room to grow. Despite that, Lodnia is surprisingly strong with an exceptional work ethic with a willingness to battle for pucks.
Lodnia is not an explosive skater – both in terms of first step and overall speed. But he is strong on his skates and uses his edges extremely well. When combined with his puck skills and determination, his skating is just good enough to beat defenders one-on-one or drive straight to the net with the puck.
Offensively, Lodnia can produce in so many ways. He is excellent in close – there are not many better. He has superb vision and can set up players with relative ease. His hockey sense is also extremely high and he knows how to get into position without the puck and making himself an option for his teammates.
There are those in hockey circles concerned with his point production. But I’m willing to look at the big picture in Erie and take everything into consideration – including the role he sometimes plays.
Lodnia was ranked 37th among North American skaters on NHL Central Scouting’s mid-term rankings in January.
The North Bay Battalion selected Adam Thilander with the 36th overall pick at the 2016 Canadian Hockey League Import Draft. He played last season with Skelleftea AIK of the SuperElit League and appeared in 38 games scoring 3 goals and adding 12 assists.
Thilander also has a wealth of International experience with Team Sweden. He’s played at the Under-16, Under-17, the World Hockey Challenge Under-17, the World Junior Championship Under-18 and at the Ivan Hlinka Memorial. In all, he’s played in 46 International games and has scored 3 goals while adding 13 assists.

A common theme surrounding Thilander is that no one seems to know how he will translate to the National Hockey League – and truth be told, you can say that about just about any prospect at any given time. And let’s face it, he missed the 2016 draft by just three days and no one knows what would have happened had he been eligible for that draft, one that was much deeper and stronger overall than the 2017 draft is.
Defensively, Thilander plays with an awareness you can’t teach. He knows where everyone is on the ice and rarely does he let the offense to the inside. He’s a good skater, strong on his feet and is very good directionally, but he lacks the speed – both first step and overall – to be able to close gaps and doesn’t have the long stick to make up for it. He lacks size and will need to add some strength to be able to physically handle players at the NHL level.
There’s been an adjustment period for Thilander, playing his first year in North America, and I’m not so sure it’s come easy to him. I believe it’s still a work in progress. He sees the ice well and can make a good first pass on the smaller ice but will need to improve doing so while under pressure. He skates well with the puck and usually makes the smart decision.
Thilander rarely gambles offensively, preferring to make the safest play. He has an underrated shot in my opinion but he uses a variety of shots to get pucks through to the net. But he’s also not a true powerplay quarterback.
In the end, it is difficult to say what type of defenceman Thilander truly is, and what he can become. But in this draft, someone will make Thilander a pick come June.
Thilander was ranked 59th on NHL Central Scouting’s mid-term rankings in January.
Saginaw Spirit right winger Cole Coskey played his Minor Bantam hockey right through to the Under-16 squad with the Chicago Mission in his native State of Illinois. With the Under-16’s, Coskey appeared in 23 games for the Mission scoring 9 goals and adding 8 assists. The Spirit would make Coskey their third-round selection, forty-seventh overall at the 2015 Ontario Hockey League’s Priority Selection that season.
Coskey would stick with the Spirit, breaking in on the Spirit lineup as a third line winger as a rookie a season ago. He would appear in 54 games for the Spirit, providing 4 goals and 7 assists while gaining some valuable experience.

Coskey’s greatest attribute is his work ethic and never give up attitude. He combines his decent skating abilities with them to be an above average fore-checking, more often than not, retrieving pucks or causing turnovers. He will not shy away from the physical game whether it’s throwing a hit or taking the hit to make a play. At 6’0” and 190 pounds, he’s not the biggest player, but plays larger than his size.
Coskey’s biggest issue is that he has not shown to be able to play at that level on a consistent basis. But he has shown improvement. He has shown, some good puck skills and vision. He’s able to protect the puck and possesses some good playmaking abilities but can also create opportunities for himself.
The Spirit have a half dozen players on their roster eligible for the 2017 National Hockey League Draft and Coskey is easily the best of the bunch, and the only one listed on NHL Central Scouting’s mid-term rankings, where he’s listed 96th among North American Skaters.
Owen Sound Attack defenceman Markus Phillips played his midget hockey with the Toronto Titans, where he captained the team and notched four goals and 17 assists in 24 games from the blueline. Before joining the Attack a season ago where he had 3 goals and 9 assists in 63 games, Phillips has virtually played for a winner everywhere he’s played.
Phillips is an Ontario Hockey Federation AAA champions – and all-star, he won a Kraft Cup championship with the Titans, he’s an OHL Gold Cup champion, he was a member of team OHL at the CIBC Canada-Russia series. His superb leadership qualities helped along the way.

In August 2016, Phillips participated in the Ivan Hlinka Memorial and his leadership qualities didn’t go unnoticed as he was named Captain of the squad. But Canada finished a disappointing fifth in a tournament they’ve dominated. He again Captained team Canada-Red at the World Hockey Challenge Under-17, losing out to Sweden in the Bronze Medal Game after going undefeated in the preliminary round.
Finally, Phillips was the youngest defenceman for Team Canada at the World Hockey Championships Under-18 in 2016 which had the likes of Dante Fabbro, Jakob Chychrun, Logan Stanley and Nicolas Hague on the roster. Canada would be denied a medal losing the Bronze Medal game to the United States.
Phillips took part in the Sherwin Williams NHL/CHL Top Prospects game and while it wasn’t a spectacular performance, it was a solid performance.
Phillips is a stocky two-way defenceman with a solid build who can make a mark at both ends of the ice. He is considered an offensive defenceman in many circles, but you can’t take away from his defensive game. His strength in the d-zone comes from excellent positioning. He is a strong skater who is hard to beat one-on-one. While not overly big, he’s strong and holds his own in battles along the walls and while protecting the front of his goal.
Phillips likes to jump up on the rush, and while a season ago he was making ill-advised decisions doing so, he has greatly improved in that area. He’s making smarter first passes and he can lug the puck with speed and does an excellent job at protecting it. Once in the zone he has very good vision and is an excellent passer, and when you combine those assets, he’s very good at setting up teammates. Simply put, he creates scoring chances.
Phillips currently has 10 goals and 18 assists in 49 games and is a plus-25. His 28 points place him 4th among draft eligible defencemen in points while his 10 goals place him third.
Phillips was ranked 62nd on NHL Central Scouting’s mid-term rankings in January for the 2017 NHL Draft.
A season ago, Soo Greyhounds netminder Matthew Villalta played midget hockey for the Greater Kingston Midget AAA squad. The Native of Kingston, Ontario, went undrafted at the 2016 Ontario Hockey League Priority Selection and walked onto the Greyhounds development camp as a free agent invite.
And the rest as they say, is history.
Villalta made an impression at the Greyhounds development camp and received an invitation to attend their main camp. Almost from the get-go he has been pushing incumbent Joseph Raaymakers for starts. Villalta has appeared in 22 games, coming in to replace Raaymakers on five of those occasions.

Villalta has a very impressive 16-1-0-0 record with goals against average of 2.64 and a save percentage of .908. His single loss is the fewest in the OHL of any goaltender that has appeared in 20 or more games. His only loss was a 5-2 loss against the Windsor Spitfires – his first game of the season – and has since reeled off sixteen straight wins. His most recent was last night when he replaced Raaymakers after the first period with the Guelph Storm holding a 3-0 lead and turning it into a 7-5 victory.
Villalta’s goals against average and save percentage are tops among rookie goaltenders appearing in ten or more games. He is sixth in the OHL in goals against average and tenth in save percentage (minimum ten games played). By comparison, his partner in the Soo has a 21-12-2-1 record with a 3.36 goals against average and .892 save percentage.
Villalta didn’t take the easy path to the OHL. By no means am I making this comparison between goaltenders, but as an undrafted goalie, it’s the same path taken by London Knights goaltender Tyler Parsons, with one key difference – Parsons did it the year prior to his draft season.
On NHL, Central Scouting’s mid-term rankings, Villalta was ranked fourteenth among North American goaltenders and fourth among OHL goaltenders behind Michael DiPietro (Windsor) Kyle Keyser (Oshawa) and Kaden Fulcher (Hamilton).
Like all goaltenders his age, it’s all in the ongoing development and fine tuning his technique. He’s a calm goaltender who gets square to the shooter quickly, but needs to make himself bigger when in the butterfly position – a technique that can be adjusted. He controls his rebounds well at times, but there are times they go back in to the dangerous area – again a technique that can be adjusted.
He’s good in close and on second chances, but needs to be stronger on covering up loose pucks. He plays his angles well and gets out to the top of the paint to take away those angle. He needs to get stronger on the short side and hold his posts. He has above average mobility in the crease and can move from side to side well but in my viewings, is weaker moving from his left to his right. His glove hand is solid. He has shown an ability to show five-hole and close it quickly, but needs to be quicker to get back on his feet.
Villalta’s flaws can be corrected as he continues to work on his technique, and he’s willing, by all accounts, to put in the necessary work. I’ve made no secret that I think he can move forward and carry the load for the Greyhounds heading towards, and into the playoffs. In my opinion, he’s a high risk, high reward goaltender.
When he walked onto the Greyhounds camp, GM Kyle Raftis said “he has a high ceiling.”
Windsor Spitfires’ goaltender Michael DiPietro made 22 saves in a 4-0 victory over the Saginaw Spirit last night to record his league leading sixth shutout of the season and eighth of his career – both Spitfires’ records previously held by Andrew Engelage.
DiPietro posted three consecutive shutouts – December 8, 2016 in Barrie, December 10, 2016 in Sudbury and December 11, 2016 in North Bay. The star goaltender spoiled the Teddy Bear Toss for the home crowds in two of those games – Barrie and Sudbury.

The Ontario Hockey League record for most shutouts in a season is held by Mark Visentin (Niagara Ice Dogs) who had eleven during the 2011-2012 season. Len Broderick (Toronto Marlboros) had eight during the 1956-1957 season. Jordan Binnington (Owen Sound Attack) had seven during the 2012-2013 campaign.
The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League record of seven is held by four goaltenders: Adam Russo (2002-2003), Kevin Poulin (2009-2010), Roberto Luongo (1997-1998) and Philippe Cadorette (2013-2014).
The Western Hockey League (also Canadian Hockey League record) is thirteen, held by three goaltenders: Bryan Bridges (2004-2005), Kelly Guard (2003-2004) and Darcy Kuemper (2010-2011)
It’s February and the snow and cold weather are back so there is no better time than the present to look at a variety of statistical leaders among the Ontario Hockey League eligible for the National Hockey League Draft in June in Chicago.
Mississauga Steelheads’ winger Owen Tippett leads draft eligible players in points with 61 points in 45 games. He is followed by Nick Suzuki of the Owen Sound Attack with 57 points in 45 games. Tippet leads the race for most goals with 36 while Suzuki leads the race for most assists with 34.

Conor Timmins of the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds leads the list of defenders with 39 points in 47 games. He is followed by Nicolas Hague of Mississauga 34 points in 45 games. Timmins also leads in plus/minus with a plus 30, followed by Suzuki with a plus 27.
Goaltender Michael DiPietro of the Windsor Spitfires leads the goaltenders in goals against average, save percentage, wins and shutouts.

While we take great care in compiling stats, refer to the OHL website for official stats.
We have yet to have a repeat player as our draft eligible player of the month and that continues through January.
For the month of January, look no further than Owen Tippett of the Mississauga Steelheads.
