The Canadian Hockey League today announced that 2016 NHL Draft prospect Matthew Tkachuk of the London Knights is the CHL Player of the Week for the playoff week ending April 3 after recording 12 points in four games including eight goals and four assists with a plus-minus rating of plus-8.
Connor Chatham scored once and set up three more and Aaron Luchuk had a pair of goals as the Windsor Spitfires ended their Ontario Hockey League regular season with a 6-3 victory over the Sarnia Sting on Sunday.
London forward Matthew Tkachuk became just the third OHL player to register 100 points in his rookie season Tuesday, picking up an assist on Aaron Berisha’s third period goal as the Knight’s hammered Kitchener 8-2.
Every step for Tkachuk, who plays left wing and wears No. 7 like his father Keith did while scoring more than 500 goals and 1,000 career NHL points, has been about being inculcated by a good support system.
The Ontario Hockey League today announced that 2016 NHL Draft prospect Logan Brown of the Windsor Spitfires is the Pioneer Energy OHL Player of the Week for the week ending February 28 after recording seven points in three games including four goals and three assists with a plus-minus rating of plus-2.
At 6-foot-6 and 222 pounds, Brown is anything but typical. The fact that he has a fluid skating stride to complement his deceptive speed makes him one of the more intriguing talents available for the 2016 NHL Draft.
Windsor Spitfires forward Connor Chatham isn’t surprised to see his old Flint Firebirds squad back in the hockey news again.
Tkachuk received a match penalty for the incident in-game, but upon further review, the OHL has opted to suspend him as well.
The good news for Jeff and Logan Brown is their teams only play twice per OHL season.
Matthew Tkachuk had a hat trick to lead the London Knights past the Sarnia Sting 4-3 on Sunday in Ontario Hockey League action.
