Windsor’s top selection in the OHL draft at 22nd overall. I am surprised he went that low in my opinion and I believe Windsor got a steal. When Mews went down in the GTHL final against the Sens, Cristoforo seemlessly took over as the Jr. Canadiens #1 defender and looked just as good as his teammate Henry Mews, who went #7 overall in the OHL draft.
Cristoforo is a good all around defender, he is very smart and reads plays well. When scanning the ice with the puck, he is very calm and seldom forces a pass. He is good as using his agility and acceleration to get out from an agressive opposing forecheck and has a good outlet pass.Cristoforo can QB a PP and set up his teammates with good passes because of how good his vision is.

Very strong pre-season for the kid. Very poised for such a young defender. Spitfires got a good one here me thinks.

Is playing PP1 for Windsor already at 16 - it’s insane how he has exploded onto the scene at 16 and not look out of place at all - far from it.

Awesome to watch - the joy in his celebration is amazing.

Leads all CHL rookies in defensive scoring through 11 games - 9 points. Next closest is 18 year old Nino Tomov with 7. Dickinson is the closest 16 year old with 6 in 10

@GermanSpitfire was completely right.

Very good player. He's a little small, but other than that he's a very good offensive player, skates well, and can defend.

Looks like a first round pick for 2024.

What happened to him? He can’t defend.
