The First Round of the 2017 NHL Entry Draft is Friday night in Chicago.
The Owen Sound Attack anticipate that Nick Suzuki will be among the players selected in the opening round.
If Suzuki does go in the first round, he will be the 6th Owen Sound OHL’er to be drafted in the opening round.
The Platers arrived in Owen Sound in 1989.
Below is a list of all the NHL first rounders selected from Ontario Hockey League teams from 1990 through 2016 ( as per HockeyDB ).
The OHL team credited for each player listed is based on which team that player was drafted from on Draft Day. For example, London, not Oshawa, gets credit for John Tavares; Windsor, not Mississauga Ice Dogs, gets credit for Jason Spezza, & Windsor gets credit for Steve Downie as opposed to Peterborough or Kitchener……etc )
