The 6’4, 210-pound power forward is committed to play NCAA hockey with Clarkson University and is eligible for the 2022 NHL entry draft.
With his size, skill, and speed, Gardner has recently been named a finalist for the 2022 Minnesota Mr. Hockey Award, which is given to the most outstanding senior high school hockey player in the state. The state of Minnesota is known for being home to some of the top high school hockey programs in North America.
“We are really excited to welcome Daimon and his family to the Chilliwack Chiefs organization,” said Chiefs Head Coach and General Manager Brian Maloney. “Daimon is an extremely talented player with big-time upside.

He big.

 

[Tim Calhoun]

Mentioned it in the draft thread but reminds me of Joe Labate.

Long term project who might not turn pro until 2027 (if he ever does).

 

[Canucks LB]

He’s playing in Chilliwack, that’s neat

 

[ihaveyuidonttouchme]

6'4 already 210er...thats pretty big with speed!

 

[Canucks LB]

 

[wonton15]

Thick. Solid. Tight.

 

[bossram]

EP had him ranked 54 overall. Say he could be a solid two-way player. Seems like a nice value pick.

He will have a long development time. BCHL next year, then at least 2 years of college, then AHL.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Not much of a prospect but we shall see.

Looks like Chilliwack in the BCHL next year, and then off to Clarkson University in the NCAA the following season.

He'll probably garner a lot of attention for the BCHL now that he is drafted before playing in the league. Lots of Canuck fans will be heading to the arena to watch him play and tell us how bad or amazing he is on these boards.

 

[Aqualung]

Sounds like Chiasson

 

[WhiteCurse]

Well I guess I will probably catch a couple of games when Chilliwack is in town.

 

[StreetHawk]

He’s playing in Chilliwack, that’s neat

HS hockey last season and limited production in his 14 USHL of just 4 points. Needs a year at the bchl or USHL level before going to clarkson. Not someone you expect to see signed until like 2025 minimum. Probably more likely 2026.

 

[Nucker101]

Sounds like Chiasson

It says he’s a decent skater though.

 

[cc]

there are uses for a big physical fast player if he can develop properly.

 

[ChilliBilly]

Like this pick. Will have to take in a few more Chiefs games. It a 5 minute drive for me.

 

[Bitz and Bites]

Seems like a good pickup to help our C depth, great size and willingness to battle are nice attributes

 

[Hodgy]

We will probably have a pretty good indication by midway through next season whether he is a bust or not (i.e., he is going to need to really excel in the BCHL and be a top player in that league).

 

[M2Beezy]

I personally had him at spot 102 so this should be seen as a victory

 

[Daniel Gee]

Big, big fan of Gardner. Scouted him all season. This is a high upside pick if his skating comes along. (he skates well for his size regardless though, it's more of a clunky edge work issue.

 

[sting101]

im ok with this as long as it's BPA

 

[CanucksMJL]

Big, big fan of Gardner. Scouted him all season. This is a high upside pick if his skating comes along. (he skates well for his size regardless though, it's more of a clunky edge work issue.

He looks comically huge in that video.
