There you go! Penn State University commit. Don’t know much about him though!

Hmmm. Born in Union, lives in NY. Wonder how solid the commitment is.

George....I thought I saw him ranked higher...so good pick?

Everywhere I saw had him as a top 3 Ontario Dman - no idea why so many teams passed on him

He was projected as a top 10 QMJHL pick at one time

exercised his right to enter the OHL draft

He was never projected as a top 10 QMJHL pick. Having watched and scouted the QMJHL prospects this year, he wasn’t a top 2 round guy. I think you could consider him in the 3rd but he was a guy that was a 4th/5th round pick by a lot of people.

That’s not to say I didn’t like him or think highly of him, I really liked his game but he wasn’t some high end Q player that spurned the league.

– Isaiah George –

Toronto Marlboros (GTHL) | Left Defence | 2020 OHL Draft Eligible

Oakville, Ontario | 6-foot-1, 170lbs | Feb. 15th, 2004

Isiah George, a leader for the perennial powerhouse Toronto Marlboros, is an elite two-way defenceman who can overwhelm opponents at either end of the ice with his combination of strength and skill. The reigning GTHL Bantam Champions are a much more defensive-minded group than in years’ past, led heavily by George, who not only installs an intimidating presence on the back-end, but also some offensive upside from the blueline.

Standing at 6’1” and 170 pounds, George will never back down from engaging in the physical game. He effectively eliminates space for opposing forwards on the rush and can easily drive them to the outside before taking them out along the wall. Up front, George has a great shot from the point with which he can cleverly get through traffic to create scoring chances.
Strengths:

• Versatility
• Poise and Decision Making
• Lower-Body Strength
• Two-Way Upside

Sounds like with Edward and George we really made our D stronger today. We drafted a big power forward in Smith and 3 small skilled guys in Bujold, Sim and Crane

He will be brought along slowly and can work on that aspect.

Looked at some highlights of Rutger McGoarty and he looks so much like Patrick Kane. Silky hands and feet and as I’m typing this the Soo may as well try to enjoy him

 

[tjziel]

In two years we could have stars in Stranges, Evangelista, Gillmartin, Rolofs, Bujold etc. And on the backend have Mailloux, George, Edward, Truscott

The future of the Knights looks solid:

02's: Evangelista, Brochu, Stranges, Steklov, Montgomery, Keane, McGurn, Panwar, Roger, Truscott?
03's Rolofs, McCue, Mailoux, Anselmini, Federkow, Gilmartin?
04's: Bujold,Edward, Smith, Sim, Crane? George?
