Sarnia, the legit hottest team in the league (no offence to our Troops) drops out after losing 1 game, a game in which they rested many top players shows how foolish this weekly Top 10 really is.

OHL Goaltender of the Month – Domenic DiVincentiis (North Bay Battalion):
Winnipeg Jets prospect Domenic DiVincentiis of the North Bay Battalion is the OHL Goaltender of the Month for the second time this season, playing to a 6-0-0-0 record with a 1.00 goals-against average, a .968 save percentage and three shutout victories. DiVincentiis made 181 saves last month, winning all six of his outings for the back-to-back Central Division champions. He stopped all 46 shots that came his way on Mar. 3rd as the Battalion blanked the Mississauga Steelheads 3-0. He turned aside the 27 shots he faced the following week at home as the Battalion defeated the London Knights by a score of 4-0 on Mar. 12th. He closed out March with his third shutout of the month and his fifth of the season, blocking all 15 shots he faced as North Bay blanked the Hamilton Bulldogs 4-0 on Mar. 23rd.
An 18-year-old Bolton, Ont. native, DiVincentiis led the OHL’s regular season with 36 wins, a 2.33 goals-against average and .919 save percentage over 48 games, all figures that establish new Battalion single season records. His five shutouts were tied for the OHL lead and equal a Battalion club mark. Helping backstop the Battalion to the Eastern Conference Championship Series last season, the 6-foot-2, 190lb. goaltender has played to a career mark of 50-17-2-1 with a 2.42 goals-against average and .915 save percentage in 75 regular season games with North Bay. He was the OHL’s F.W. ‘Dinty’ Moore Trophy winner in 2021-22, posting a 2.59 goals-against average while also being voted to the League’s second all-rookie team. DiVincentiis was selected by the Winnipeg Jets in the seventh round (207th overall) of the 2022 NHL Draft. He was originally North Bay’s sixth round (116th overall) pick in the 2020 OHL Priority Selection from the Vaughan Kings U16 program.
OHL Rookie of the Month – Charlie Robertson (North Bay Battalion):
Draft eligible North Bay Battalion netminder Charlie Robertson is the OHL Rookie of the Month for March, playing to a 5-0-0-0 record with a 1.79 goals-against average and .942 save percentage with two shutouts. Robertson made 145 saves in March, winning all five of his outings to help the Battalion clinch a second-straight Central Division title. He stopped all 20 shots that came his way on Mar. 5th to earn his second OHL career shutout as the Battalion blanked the Niagara IceDogs 4-0. He returned to the crease on Mar. 10th, turning aside all 28 shots in a 3-0 win over the Oshawa Generals to earn his second consecutive shutout. Robertson closed out March with a 5-2 win over the Mississauga Steelheads on Mar. 26th, making 44 saves to earn first star recognition. Robertson is North Bay’s first OHL Rookie of the Month recipient since defenceman Cam Dineen, who last claimed the honour in January 2016.
A 17-year-old from London, Ont., Robertson finished the season with a 12-6-0-1 record, a 3.17 goals-against average, .892 save percentage and three shutouts in his 21 games. The 6-foot-3, 167Ib. netminder was North Bay’s seventh round (130th overall) pick in the 2021 OHL Priority Selection from the London Jr. Knights U16 program. He competed in the 2023 Kubota CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game, and was the OHL’s top-ranked goaltender on NHL Central Scouting’s Midseason Rankings, coming in at 12th in North America.

Notes from Wednesday’s workout:
Kyle McDonald – after stumblin’ and tumblin’ Thur. vs. HAM, then missing the weekend games, K-Mac was in regular gear and participating fully.
Tnias Mathurin – continues in red, participated fully for the first 30 or so, then tapered off.
Justin Ertel – was in the bottom 6 group, it looked like his spot with K-Jack/Petrov was taken by Wakely. I can’t remember who Justin skated with, it was 2 hours ago.
Ticket sales for Fri. look like about 2550, with the club selling 41 in the last 24 hours. It might take a little while for playoff fever to catch on. Last year’s game 1 attendance was under 2400, jumped to about 3100 in game 2.

I can relate.
Possibly Ertel-Arnsby-Romani; and, VanSteensel-Proscyzyn-Tarasevich in the bottom six?

I would agree with your bottom 6. Those are 4 deep lines.
I hope they keep bloom zito Mac together. I thought they were out best line
The Battalion gave up picks in '23 '24 & '25 for Fantilli's rights. What happens with these picks if he doesn't show next season? Do we get the 2023 pick back this draft? Do we still own his OHL rights?? Do we have to wait until he "ages-out" to get the other picks back?
I believe the ‘23-3rd & ‘24-4th are the Battalion’s to use. The ‘24-2nd & ‘25-2nd will go back to the battalion when rosters freeze next season ~Feb.10.

That’s a very hard working opponent we’ve found ourselves in Missy.
If we let off the pedal they can beat us. I can’t wait to see the Fish over the next few seasons, they’re going to be strong.
Great win tonight!!!
