Alexis Daviault @NavanGradsAAA
An extremely mobile and skilled defenceman who joins the offense routinely. A strong skater, who is very consistent, and has a strong work ethic. He is a modern day defenceman who reads the play very effectively. #OHLDraft pic.twitter.com/kGAWjtIw6z

Mathis Mainville @NavanGradsAAA
A technically sound goaltender who moves very well. He has excellent rebound control & battles hard on every puck. He works to improve his game & makes big saves at the right time #OHLDraft pic.twitter.com/orw4vBZm0Q

Xavier Guillemette @NavanGradsAAA
Unbelievable speed to a motor that doesn't stop. A complete 200-ft player that competes hard every shift. Capable of playing center or wing. Uses speed effectively to generate offense either off rush or on forecheck #OHLDraft pic.twitter.com/nYLSysYIUW

Matthew Buckley @NavanGradsAAA
His quick & accurate shot makes him a pure & natural goal scorer. He is always a scoring threat when on the ice & can play in all situations. He uses his linemates effectively & is able to make plays under pressure. #OHLDraft pic.twitter.com/700Nmmf0PE

Chris Barlas @NavanGradsAAA
Two-way C who makes the players around him better. Loves going to the dirty areas and playing with an edge. Smooth & shifty skater who uses his edges well. Tons of hockey sense. A nice takeaway & primary assist seen here. #OHLDraft pic.twitter.com/YaeatXHppk

F Mathieu Paris @NavanGradsAAA
Has high-end skill and finishing ability. Plays without fear and is willing to go to the dirty areas to dig out pucks and drive the net in search of scoring opportunities. #OHLDraft pic.twitter.com/g5WMYDA619
