Don't waste too much typing on Claypool. He's the same sage who contended the other day that what Schremp does is irrelevant because he's doing it against 16 and 17-year-olds predominantly.
Even though it was correctly pointed out to him that the majority of junior players are 18-20, and not 16 or 17, he chose to ignore this fact, and backed up his incorrect claim with someone else's irrelevant stat that pointed out that a junior team can have as many 16-year-olds as 20 year olds if it so chooses.
This does not change the fact that most teams have no more than 6-8 players under 18 years of age on their roster, and those players are usually not receiving the lion's share of ice time. Many a 16-17 year-old rides the pine; not many 19-20-year-olds are afforded the same treatment; if they are they're soon gone. It should also be noted that there are several players who are 21 by the end of the season, Guelph's Ryan Callahan for one turns 21 this week. Schremp isn't far off the average age of OHLers - on his team alone ther are six forwards older than himself.
Averaging 4.5 points per game is no small feat, even if it is for 6 games. Thing is Schremp doesn't appear to be slowing down - what's next, a run at Sittler?
OHL teams to date this season are averaging about 4 goals per game, yet Schremp by himself is averaging more points per game than teams are averaging total goals. That has never been done in junior hockey over the course of a season (not saying he's going to do it, but he's on pace) and BTW Claypool, there have been some decent players play junior hockey through the years.
I've never been a Schremp fan, but that attitude is changing. You cannot help but marvel at his start.

It might have been close, because a lot of London fans who can't get tickets at home might have bought up the rest of St. Mike's Arena.
