Press Release
Toronto, ON – The Ontario Hockey League today announced that Winnipeg
Jets prospect Scott Kosmachuk of the Guelph Storm is the OHL Player of
the Week for the week ending October 20 after scoring six goals and
three assists for nine points in three games with a plus-minus rating of
plus-8.
Kosmachuk’s offensive outburst led the Storm to three straight wins
last week moving the club into second place in the Midwest Division
standings with a 9-3-0-0 record. His top performance of the week came
on Sunday afternoon against the Ottawa 67’s where he scored a
career-high four goals including the game-winner. He also added one
assist in the contest for a career-best five-point game and was named
first star of the 7-3 victory. Kosmachuk also received a pair of third
star honours earlier in the week including Thursday night scoring the
game-winning goal plus an assist in the Storm’s 3-2 win over the Windsor
Spitfires, then picked up a goal and an assist Friday night in a 5-4
shootout win over the Niagara IceDogs.
Kosmachuk, a 19-year-old from Toronto, ON, is playing in his fourth
OHL season with the Storm. Currently tied for fifth in league scoring,
the 2012 third round selection of the Winnipeg Jets has 12 goals and
nine assists for 21 points in 12 games after recording 65 points in 68
games last season.
