C/LW Damien Giroux - Saginaw Spirit, OHL (2018 Draft)

[Frk It]

Saginaw team site has him at 5’10” and 175 lbs. Has 5 pts in his last 3 games, and 14 pts in 14 games on the season. Took 20 faceoffs last night, so looks like he is playing some center.

Here’s what Brock Otten said on him in his top 50 ranking:

44. Damien Giroux - Forward - Saginaw Spirit
Has been one of Saginaw's best forwards thus far. Undersized forward who plays both center and the wing. Like his competitiveness and his hockey IQ. He's noticeable for the right reasons. But I wonder if he's the type of elite skater you want to see from a smaller forward.

Pretty sure there's no relation. Would have had to have him as a teenager.

Anything to Claude Giroux? Obviously not Claude's son given the age, but maybe a brother, cousin or nephew?

His size and scouting report sound like Claude Giroux as well.
