Nathan Aspinall, W, Markham Waxers
At 6’3”, Nathan Aspinall is a tall, rangy forward that possesses a very impressive offensive skill set. He has a long-reach and uses it to fool defenders when he has the puck. He seemingly has the puck on a string out there at times, showing off his stick-handling ability, while keeping his head up, spotting open line mates or a chance to shoot. His 17G’s and 22A’s were good enough for 3rd most points in the ETA in the regular season, showing his ability to lead a strong Waxers team to a 2nd place finish. Aspinall stepped his game up even further in the OMHA play downs, Championships and OHL Cup, where he continued to score at a torrid pace and helped lead his team to a quarter final berth. Aspinall has proven he can produce in the big games and can be counted on to score when his team needs a goal. He can bury the puck with the best of them. His patience with the puck, especially when given time and space, is exceptional. He has confidence to hold on to it and ensure that he makes a good play. This ability makes him very effective on the PP. If you are not careful, the puck will be in the back of the net before you know it. Aspinall’s skating has continued to improve throughout the year, and with some added strength, he could become an even greater scoring threat.
Riley Patterson, C, Mississauga Senators
At the center ice position, Patterson provides reliable defensive support when his team is battling for possession in their own zone, and he uses an explosive stride to clear the zone efficiently after acquiring it. When his team owns possession of the puck, he gives the puck carrier room to breathe while seeking open ice. When the puck comes to him he exhibits a level of instant confidence, handling the puck with good posture and his head up. He has very good separation speed and frequently uses deceptive lateral movement or crosscuts on the attack, giving himself space to release a powerful and accurate wrist shot.
