OHL Writers’ Draft Eligible Player of the Month for February

Posted on by Dominic Tiano

February may be the shortest month of the year, but it produced the best offensive numbers of the season led by Hamilton Bulldogs’ sniper and our draft eligible player of the month, Arthur Kaliyev.

Kaliyev led the way with 11 goals and 10 assists in just 11 games as he attempts to hit the 50-goal, 50-assist plateau on the season. Entering tonight’s action, Kaliyev sits at 47 goals along with 46 assists in 60 games. Among draft eligible players, he is dominating in just about every offensive category.

Kaliyev finished February with points in 9 of his 11 games and 6 of those being multi-point games. Twice he was named the games first star as well as second star on two other occasions.

Also Considered were Flint Firebirds’ Ethan Keppen who had 8 goals and 5 assists in 10 games, and Cole MacKay of the Soo Greyhounds with 9 goals and 5 helpers in 12 games. In goal, Jet Greaves of the Barrie Colts led the way 286 of 310 shots in just 8 games for a .919 save-percentage. He was named CHL Goaltender of the Week for the week ending February 4.

Cole MacKay – Sault Ste Marie Greyhounds – Player Profile

Posted on by Dominic Tiano

Height: 5’11”

Weight: 185 pounds

Date of birth: June 13, 2001

Hometown: Sault Ste Marie, Ontario

Position: Right Wing

Shoots: Right

OHL Draft: Round 5, 98th overall, 2017 Priority Selection

NHL Central Scouting Rankings: Preseason: not ranked, November: C prospect, Midterm: 96th NA.

Like Greyhounds before him, Cole MacKay is having an impressive draft season that is making him climb up draft boards. That’s not to say he will end up being another Morgan Frost who climbs all the way into the first round on draft day, but considering he was not on NHL Central Scouting’s players to watch list coming into the season to where he is now shows there is something to watch there. Not to mention he was a 5th round pick at the 2017 OHL Priority Selection.

MacKay grew up playing in the Sault Ste Marie hockey leagues and playing for the Greyhounds was a dream come true. However, he spent a year in Minor Midget AAA with the Kitchener Jr Rangers, during the 2016-2017 leading the league in goals (30) while adding 16 assists in 32 games. He also appeared in the OHL Cup and OHL Gold Cup.

MacKay broke onto the OHL scene a season ago appearing in 42 games and scoring 5 goals and adding 9 assists playing a limited role. However, as his responsibilities increased this season, along with prime specialty teams time, his offence has skyrocketed to 25 goals and 29 assists in 56 games.

MacKay can be an offensive threat in any situation. He can be the shooter on the powerplay (9 goals) as well as the setup guy (9 assists). But he can be a threat on the PK as well, having a shorthanded goal while setting up 3 others.

MacKay has an above average shot with good velocity, a quick release and deadly accuracy. His 18% shooting percentage is evidence of his ability to shoot. When you break it down by shot location, it becomes more impressive. He has 4 goals on 28 high danger shots (14.3%) versus 9 goals on 20 shots (45%) from the mid-danger areas versus 12 goals on 91 shots (13.2%) from low danger shot areas.

Besides MacKay’s shooting ability, his other strengths are his non-stop motor and work ethic and his high hockey smarts. He is relentless in his puck pursuit and never gives up on a play. He leaves 100% out on the ice each and every shift and he works his tail off in the defensive zone as well.

MacKay uses his above average vision and hockey sense as well as anybody. Defensively, he knows where he needs to be and uses excellent anticipation skills and an active stick to defend. Offensively, he protects the puck extremely well, can slip into lanes to make himself available, and has some shiftiness to create lanes to find teammates. And despite his size, if he can’t create a lane, he shows no hesitation in taking the disk to the net himself.

The knock on MacKay however is his skating. Most would agree that he needs to improve his first-step explosiveness that is lacking, especially with his size. While I will agree it needs work, I don’t agree that is detrimental. It’s average to slightly above average.

Secondly, MacKay lacks a separation gear that could only help him offensively. And that has some truth to it. But when I read some scouting reports, it makes it sound as though he is slow. Again, its average and he is still providing offence. Sure, that extra gear will help however, I think he can show some improvement in the areas with a commitment to improving.

I mentioned teammate Morgan Frost earlier. And while I am in no way suggestion MacKay can jump all the way to the first round come June’s NHL Draft in Vancouver, I thought it would be fun to look at a comparison chart of their draft years courtesy of Prospect-Stats.

OHL Announces Academic Players of the Month for November

Posted on by Dominic Tiano

Toronto, ON – The Ontario Hockey League today announced the OHL Academic Players of the Month for November 2018, including goaltender Will Cranley of the Ottawa 67’s, defencemen Peter Stratis of the Sudbury Wolves and Gerard Keane of the London Knights, and forward Cole MacKay of the Sault Ste.

Cranley is currently studying Biology, Chemistry, and Mathematics. “Will is viewed by his teachers as a dedicated student who is able to balance the demands of hockey and education with his perseverance, respectful behaviour and positive outlook,” said 67’s academic advisor Eileen Duffin. Cranley currently leads the league in minutes played by a 16-year-old goaltender. He’s played to a 3-1-2-0 record with a 3.32 goals-against average and .883 save percentage over seven games.

Midwest Division: London Knights rookie defenceman Gerard Keane is the OHL Midwest Division Academic Player of the Month for November. The 16-year-old from Homer Glen, Ill. is excelling in his Grade 11 studies at Blyth Academy in London. “Gerard has found a great balance between playing elite level hockey and maintaining excellent grades,” said Knights academic advisor Annemarie Pedersen. “He is frequently done his in class work in advance and is given additional work to practice on. He has been a positive influence in the classroom.” London’s third round pick this past spring, Keane has one goal over 12 games this season.


West Division: Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds sophomore forward Cole MacKay is the OHL West Division Academic Player of the Month for November. The 17-year-old Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. product carries an average above 90% in Grade 12 studies at St. Mary’s College. “Cole has successfully balanced a difficult academic schedule with the rigors of OHL hockey,” said Greyhounds academic advisor Jerry Bumbacco. “He is extremely well liked by his teachers as well as his peers.” Studying Mathematics, English and Sciences in the classroom, MacKay has also excelled on the ice, recording 28 points (10-18–28) over 29 games this season. He was Sault Ste. Marie’s fifth round pick in 2017 from the Kitchener Rangers Minor Midgets.

OHL’s Draft Eligible Statistical Leaders as of November

Posted on by Dominic Tiano

It was supposed to be a two-horse race between Ryan Suzuki of the Barrie Colts and Arthur Kaliyev of the Hamilton Bulldogs, two OHL’ers expected to go in the first round of the 2019 National Hockey League Draft in June from Vancouver, British Columbia.

It’s still early, just passing the one-third mark of the season, so there is still a lot of hockey remaining to be played, but Kaliyev has put a little distance between himself and Suzuki – for the moment. But the gap between the points leader – Kaliyev (40 points in 26 games) and Suzuki (32 points in 24 games) is greater then the gap between Suzuki and third place Cole MacKay of the Sault Ste Marie Greyhounds (27 points in 27 games).

It’s also no surprise that Kaliyev, the best pure scorer in the draft class, leads in goals with 21. What may surprise some people is that Connor McMichael of the London Knights is just 4 behind the goal scoring leader. There’s a drop off to the third-place skater, Philip Tomasino of the Niagara IceDogs with 11 goals.

Among defencemen, Thomas Harley of the Mississauga Steelheads and Billy Constantinou of the Kingston Frontenacs continue to be offensive sparkplugs. Harley leads defender with 22 points in 27 games while Constantinou comes in second with 19 points in 26 games. They are trailed by four defencemen with 12 points.

In the crease, Hunter Jones of the Peterborough Petes leads netminders in goals-against-average, save percentage, games played, minutes played, wins and tied with Mack Guzda of the Owen Sound Attack in shutouts.

Here are the statistical leaders in a variety of categories. Always refer to the OHL website for official stats.

OHL Writers’ Draft Eligible Player of the Month for October

Posted on by Dominic Tiano

When it comes to draft eligible players from the 2018-2019 Ontario Hockey League season, most of the attention will be focused around Ryan Suzuki of the Barrie Colts and Arthur Kaliyev of the Hamilton Bulldogs, and rightfully so.

Unless you are the most ardent follower, then a young netminder from the Peterborough Petes being named our draft eligible player of the month may come as a surprise to you. That young netminder is none other than Hunter Jones.

Don’t be fooled by his 6-5-0 record during the month of October. The Petes have suffered through some key injuries and had it not been for Jones, that record could have been worse. In those eleven contests in October, Jones posted a remarkable .939 save percentage.

As of today, no goaltender has played more minutes then Jones (897) including some seasoned veterans: Jacob Ingham (780), Cedrick Andree (755), Matthew Villalta (719) and Michael DiPietro (641). Jones has also faced more rubber (527) then any other goaltender, 127 more then Ingham and stopped more shots (491), 130 more then Stephen Dhillon of the Niagara Ice Dogs.

Jones currently sits forth in goals against average among goaltenders with four or more starts with a 2.41 goals-against average. He currently sits second in save percentage at .931.

Jones was the OHL goaltender of the week and runner up to the CHL goaltender of the week for the week of October 8-14 – he was both the OHL and CHL goaltender of the week on opening week.

His performance earned him an invitation to participate for Team OHL in the upcoming Canada-Russia Super Series, a precursor to the World Junior Championships.

Also considered were Suzuki, who posted 2 goals and 11 assists in 9 games, Kaliyev and his 7 goals and 4 assists in 11 games and Cole MacKay of the Soo Greyhounds who recorded 2 goals and 10 assists in 11 games.
