Matt Finn is your reigning OHL Defenseman of the month.

With Finn, the points never quite tell the whole story, but for the sake of a ‘once upon a time,’ the captain of the Storm has registered 18 points in 18 games to start the year, putting him fourth in OHL scoring among defensemen.  Add to this the news that Finn has been named to Team Canada in the upcoming Subway Super Series, and that he’s led Guelph to the best record in the OHL to start the season, and it’s been a great start for the 19-year old defenseman.

Finn continues to play in all situations with the Storm and at the OHL level he excels at everything.  His skating is strong, his shot is heavy, and he makes smart plays with and without the puck.  The only real weakness in his game, if there is one, is that he doesn’t play a particularly physical game.  Finn is a legitimate candidate for this year’s World Junior team and he looks like he’ll be more than ready to make an impact with the Marlies this time next year.

Connor Brown is still leading the OHL scoring race and Verhaeghe, despite a somewhat less productive two weeks (though he did have a hattrick…), remains in 7th.

2013 first round pick Frederik Gauthier picked up 3 points in 2 games this weekend and is now registering a point per game after a slow statistical start to the season.  I haven’t seen him play yet this year so I’ll defer to a good twitter-follow Tobias Drundridge: “my only complaint is that he doesn’t seem to have any confidence in his shot. Always dishing. Other than that I like what I see.”

Have a good Remembrance Day, everyone.
