At the age of 23, Drew got his first NHL game Tuesday night. It represented the culmination of a journey that started in Jr. C and had stops everywhere in between
Nice to see that the GM and Coach of the Yarmouth Jr A Mariners , our own Laurie Barron (LB) gets a mention.. He is pretty good at finding the diamond in the rough. Yarmouth is a great place to play hockey and LB is the perfect guy for our community. A great place to develop in hockey and life.
It appears you're right about Ryan. Played 18 games in Blenheim as a 17-year-old, but might have been an affiliate player with the Chatham Maroons that season. Martin played there as a 16-year-old, but not as a 17-year-old.

Islanders forward Matt Martin and ex-Oilers forward Ryan Jones played for the same Jr. C team (a few years apart) and were never drafted in the OHL.

Hey Ken I think Brian Allen played at one point in that same league the difference being I believe Bryan was drafted to Oshawa tho … great story !!!
Yes, both he and Jay McKee played in that league as 15-year-olds, but not as undrafted 17-year-olds. Thanks for reading.
