Is he related to Nick Ritchie ?

I don’t think so; EP is pretty good at that type of thing and it doesn’t say whether or not they’re related.

This kid is going to be a star player...he was the smartest player in the draft...because of covid i never got to see him play BUT i have very trustworthy scouts in the OHL as friends that tell me this guy is like a Patrice Bergeron...great two way, super smart, great skater, works hard, has good offensive skills too.

 

[LeProspector]

Yeah, this kid is a stud, has star written all over him

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Continues his preseason hot streak, 3 games, 2 goals, 7 points, 11 shots on goal, 28/47 at the dot

Most of the high end players that are going to play in the OHL this season are at NHL camps so take those numbers with a grain of salt. That being said; he’ll likely be Oshawa’s first line centre this season so he’ll like your up some impressive numbers.

Top 5 pick in 2023

 

[Gardiner Expressway]

Blistering start... 3+6=9 in 5 GP with 3 shots/gm. 3 of his 5 games were multi-point.

Anyone watching the Gens with some info on this guy?

He's an absolute stud. Led the OHL in scoring for the preseason (12 points in 6 games) and most of them came on his own line and not even playing with Ty Tullio (EDM) or Brett Harrison (BOS). I'll post all his highlights on my twitter account @Generalsupdates. I'll try to remember to post them here too. Super excited about him

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Is there going to be a WHC17 this year in November? It’d be good to see all these players in the same event like most years to compare who the best players are.

 

[Generalsupdates]

Ritchie scored in his first OHL game

2nd OHL game:

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Pretty much sums up Ritchie’s play so far this season - 3 games, 3 goals and looks dominant out there.

 

[BKarchitect]

Man there are some 16 year-old forwards in the OHL this season that look like absolutely thoroughbreds from a talent + physical toolbox standpoint. Ritchie, Miedema, Musty, Rehkopf. None of these guys look like 16 year-olds out there that’s for sure. Going to be some high, high NHL draft picks from the 2023 crop.

Thats not even mentioning the crop from the WHL…. going to be a very interesting year for sure.

 

[Generalsupdates]

Ritchie's 3rd game

 

[Artorius Horus T]

[Generalsupdates]

Game high 6 shots and he scores again. 4 goals and 5 points through his first 4 OHL games
