A total of five Petes players were named to the NHL Central Scout Final Ranks ahead of the upcoming Entry Draft.
Forwards Mason McTavish, Tucker Robertson, Jon-Randall Avon and defenceman Artem Guryev and Brian Zanetti were recognized.
McTavish is ranked second amongst all North American Skaters and is the highest rated forward on the NHL Central Scouting list. The Petes 5th overall pick from the 2019 OHL Priority Selection, was loaned to the EHC Olten of the Swiss League while the OHL awaited the start of the 2020-21 season. While playing overseas, McTavish amassed 11 points (nine goals, two assists) in 13 regular season games and seven points (two goals, five assists) in four playoff games.
“We’ve created a mindset where we want to beat each of the other teams four times to prove to ourselves we would be successful in a best-of-seven playoff series against them,” said Craig Didmon, head coach and GM of the Grizzlies.
That’s a victory of the mind. The real prize now becomes the title of the BCHL Island Division regular season, in which the teams are playing 20 games each in the Port Alberni hub.
In place of a post-season and year-end awards, a champion from each of the league’s five hubs will be determined based on total points in the table or winning percentage if the games played were not equal. Each hub will hand out individual awards for MVP, leading scorer, rookie of the year, best defenceman and top goaltender.
