Week 17 OHL Power Rankings

NHL Central Scouting released their mid term rankings. You can find all the OHL players ranked down below in the rankings section. First I am going to give a few thoughts

- Blade Jenkins is ranked 24th by NHLCS is there been a higher ranked player left off the Top Prospects game roster in recent memory?

-  12 re-entry candidates from the OHL showed up on the list including a handful of '98 birth years

- I dont know if these two are fans of Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel but there are a pair of defenders who were 12th round picks in the 2014 OHL Priority selection who have cracked the rankings Sean Durzi (39) and Mac Hollowell at (133). These are two players whe certainly did not give up.

- Brady Hinz not making the list is a bit of a head scratcher for me.

- Not on the list due to injury is Flint defender Dennis Busby. I could certainly see him being taken in June.

- Nice to see Nick Donofrio get in there at #17 among NA goalies. He shares a birthday with me so I am automatically pulling for him.

Games of the Week
Jan 26th Oshawa Generals @ Kingston Frontenacs
I dont think Oshawa catches Kingston but they are only 4 points behind they beat them the last time they played and Kingston is struggling. They win this in regulation and obviously they are 2 points behind and this race becomes a whole lot more intriguing. A lot of people picked Oshawa ahead of Kingston in the preseason. Is this the Oshawa team we were expecting to see?

Jan 28th Sarnia Sting (2) @ Hamilton Bulldogs (3)
If Sarnia plays like they did for the 2nd and 3rd vs Oshawa I cant see them skating out of Hamilton with a win. But if they play there best the Bulldogs will have a hard time winning. Should be a great game. In a perfect world Sportsnet would pick it up but if you are a Rogers or Cogeco subscriber you can stream it for free on cable14now.com

Divisional Quick Hits


Hamilton Bulldogs forward picked up career point 200 this week. He became the 3rd 2014 1st round pick to hit the 200 mark (Raddysh and Mascherin) and the 5th overall from that draft (Kyrou and Maksimovich).... 67s rookie Graeme Clarke with a goal of the year candidate from Sunday

Aaron Luchuk picked up career goal and assist 100 in the same game which also means he reached the 200 point mark in his career as well....

London Knights forward Liam Foundy has been added to the CHL top prospects game roster.... Kitchener Rangers goalie Mario Culina picked up his first career shutout this week and liked it so much he picked up #2 in his next game... The Rangers had another player added to the Top Prospects game as Givanni Villati gets the call as a replacement.... Aiden Dudas of the Owen Sound Attack has been added to the top prospects game.

With an 11 point week Jordan Kyrou catapulted himself into 3rd on Sarnia's all time point list He also won himself OHL Player of the Week.... They Greyhounds had their 29 game point streak snapped finishing 2 games shy of tying the London Knights.... Blade Jenkins finally scored a power play goal for the Saginaw Spirit. Up to that goal all of his points were at even strength
