| Shane Wright | Note | Faceoff at the right dot in the offensive zone. Wright gets booted, and lines up on the inside. Puck comes out to the point, and the defender carries the puck down deep into the corner. What does Wright do? Backs out to the point to cover the point for the attacking defender. It would have been so easy to camp out and wait for a chance to come to him from the corner, but Wright made the right choice and the smarter play. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |

He already has a pro build at 6'0 and 187 pounds, and aside from Tomasino, was easily the best player on the ice. Sure to be the #1 pick of the 2022 draft. He just has all the tools and the work rate, game awareness and pace to be a superstar NHL player. | Brian Fogarty | Kingston vs Oshawa (OHL) | 1/25/2020 | 1/31/2020 | 10212 |
