He's going to be a special player
Alex Debrincat has kicked off the 2017 Traverse City tournament with a bang.
The Blackhawks won their first game of the tournament yesterday and Debrincat played a key role, scoring twice, adding an assist and fighting a player much bigger than him.
The Blackhawks went on to win the game 4-3 over the Detroit Red Wings.
The 5-7, 165 pound forward of him put up 65 goals in 63 games for the Erie Otters last season, joining the likes of John Tavares and Eric Lindros near the top of the OHL single-season record book. He's one of the Blackhawks most-hyped prospects since Patrick Kane.
Given his fantastic shot, vision and hockey sense, it's only a matter of time before he's terrorizing goalies at the NHL level.
