To prepare, here are three reasons why this OHL showdown is a must-watch on TV:
Coe tops the charts
One of the most prolific players on the Tour, Battalion top right winger Brandon Coe brings tantalizing power forward play mixed with a dynamic scoring touch where, in 47 appearances this season, he holds No. OHL scorers with 30 goals and 48 assists. for 78 points. Already with 12 points to his name in seven games in February, Coe is a name to circle against the 67 as in the previous five meetings this season he has found the scoresheet each time, tallying two goals and five assists . Signing with the San Jose Sharks last December as an undrafted free agent, that deal came to fruition after Coe was loaned out last season to the Sharks’ minor league affiliate in which he showed an intriguing advantage by collecting five points in 17 games.

All eyes on Nelson
Originally chosen atop the 2020 OHL Priority Selection, Nelson made his battalion debut this fall. Now in the midst of a strong first season, the budding defenseman came away with six goals and 31 assists for 37 points on 47 showings, good for team leading scorers among North Bay fullbacks and fifth best among fellow defensemen. league-wide.

Rohrer headlines renewed the 67
Selected in the first round of the 2021 CHL Import Draft, Austrian-born right-winger Vinzenz Rohrer has made an immediate impact in his new home. Participating in his first season in the North American environment, the talented striker had no difficulty in adapting since in 42 outings he registered 13 goals and 18 assists, good for 31 points and second scorer in team. Ranked 46th among North American skaters according to Central Scouting’s midterm evaluation, heading into the 2022 NHL Draft, Rohrer will certainly rely on his 67-year-old teammates who have already lived the experience, a list that is highlighted by fellow forwards Jack Beck, a 2021 Calgary Flames sixth-round pick, as well as new rookie Tyler Boucher, who heard his name spoken by the Ottawa Senators during of the first round of the NHL Draft last summer. Alongside Nelson, Rohrer has also been chosen to play in the next 2022 Kubota CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game.
