EARLY ENTRY: Fifteen-year-old Shane Wright of the Don Mills Flyers has been granted 'exceptional status' for the OHL Draft He's the fifth player to receive early OHL entry, joining John Tavares, Aaron Ekblad, Connor McDavid & Sean Day.
The Ontario Hockey Federation announced on Friday that forward Shane Wright of the Minor Midget AAA Don Mills Flyers has been granted 'exceptional player' status to enter the Ontario Hockey League Draft a year early.
Wright is the fifth player to be granted 'exceptional player' status in the OHL, following John Tavares, Aaron Ekblad, Connor McDavid and Sean Day. Tavares, Ekblad, and McDavid were all chosen first overall in the OHL Priority Selection and were later selected first overall in the NHL Draft. "Having administered this process since 2005 with John Tavares, Aaron Ekblad, Connor McDavid and Sean Day, I am continuously amazed by the well-rounded nature of those granted exceptional status," said OHF Executive Director Phillip McKee in a statement."His constant success both in the classroom and on the ice has demonstrated that Shane Wright is well deserving to be among those who have been granted status in the past.
Wright, 15, has scored 66 goals and tallied 150 points in 72 games with Don Mills in the GTHL. He also captained Team Ontario to a silver medal at the 2019 Canada Winter Games, tallying six goals and 12 points in six games.
