Press Release
Toronto, ON – The Ontario Hockey League today announced that Guelph
Storm forward Scott Kosmachuk is the OHL Player of the Week for the week
ending November 25 after leading the league with six goals in three
games while adding two assists for eight points with an OHL-high
plus-minus rating of plus-6.
Kosmachuk’s eight points in three games marks the best week of his
three-year OHL career and led the Storm to three wins helping them
maintain their position in third place in the Midwest Division with 35
points. His week began with a goal on Wednesday as part of an 8-0 win
over the Mississauga Steelheads before claiming first star honours on
Friday scoring twice including the game-winner plus an assist in the 3-2
win over the Erie Otters. He picked up first star honours again on
Saturday night against the Ottawa 67’s with a four-point effort where he
scored his first hat-trick of the season and second of his career while
adding an assist as part of the 7-5 win.
Kosmachuk, an 18-year-old from Toronto, ON, is playing in his third
OHL season with the Storm and was selected in the third round of the
2012 NHL Entry Draft by the Winnipeg Jets. In 27 games this season, he
has scored a team-high 18 goals including seven on the power play and
has 14 assists for 32 points.
Also considered for the award this week was New York Islanders
prospect Ryan Strome of the Niagara IceDogs who scored twice with six
assists for eight points in three games, and Ottawa Senators prospect
Matt Puempel of the Kitchener Rangers who scored four goals and two
assists for six points in two games. In goal, Toronto Maple Leafs
prospect Garret Sparks of the Storm went 2-0-0-0 with a shutout victory
while posting a goals-against-average of 1.00 and save percentage of
.968.
