Hello OHL fans! It's time for another round of news, stats and happenings. Let's start with some Sudbury Wolves stuff first.
I couldn't help but be impressed with Nick Foligno's impact on the club. In his first three games, he picked up four goals and seven points, and helped the club earn two wins and one loss. 
Foligno, 18, was brilliant against Toronto and Belleville on Friday and Saturday night. Versus Toronto, the forward scored one goal and two points during a 6-0 romp. On Saturday, he lead the charge, scoring three goals and four points, to help the Wolves come back from a three-goal deficit to beat Belleville 5-3.
On Sunday, against Toronto again, Foligno picked up one point, but also took a costly high sticking penalty in the third period, which lead to the Majors tying the game, and eventually winning 5-4.Jesse Messier is making up for lost time.
After missing the majority of the 2005-06 campaign with a neck injury, the rugged winger has asserted himself well in the first five games, scoring four goals and five points. It's nice to see, given the kid was told it would take a miracle to return to the ice just over a year ago.
Messier is the type of player others rally around to accomplish big things.
I was a little harsh on goalie Kevin Beech last week, and to his credit, he re-bounded nicely this past weekend.He stopped 27 shots for his first shutout of the season versus Toronto on Friday, and then kept his squad in the Belleville game, making 29 saves.
If Beech can continue to remain sharp, it will really benefit this squad.
I also tip my hat to defender Stephen Miller. The robust defenceman has certainly brought a mean edge to the Wolves and has shown a willingness to take on the tough guys of the league - despite what you think, fighting is still a major factor in junior hockey.Miller has dropped the gloves with heavyweights Phil Oreskovic (Brampton) and Michael Haley (Toronto) already and has done quite well.
With the return of Marc Staal, Miller might be bumped a bit, but he still deserves to play and the Wolves need his toughness.
Don't look now, but the Peterborough Petes are looking strong, despite having 12 rookies in their lineup. They own a 3-1 record and first place in the East Division. They held the same spot all season last year, and could hold it again considering their solid core.
Question marks about the Petes goaltending has been answered as second-year puck stopper Trevor Cann has stepped in to fill the void left by David Shantz.In his first four games, Cann has a record of 3-1 with a sparkling 2.00 goals-against-average (GAA) and a sharp .948 save percentage.
Another big part of the success has been forwards Daniel Ryder and Steve Downie. Ryder has 13 points in four games to lead the OHL, while Downie has six points in his first two games.
If they get Jordan Staal back from Pittsburgh, look out!
Every year the OHL loses top players due to graduation. And
every year, a fresh crop of rookies comes in to fill the gap.
2006-07 is no exception as the rookie field looks as strong as
ever.
There are two rookies in the Top 20 in scoring - London's
Sam Gagner and Brampton's Cody Hodgson.
Gagner is third in league scoring with 11 points, while Hodgson
is 15th with eight points.
These hot shots aren't the only two young guns lighting up
the league.
Keep an eye on these players as well as the season progresses.
Sarnia's Steve Stamkos has four goals and seven points in
four games.
London's Patrick Kane has seven points in three games.
Sudbury's Patrik Lusnak is the fifth leading scorer among
rookies with six points in five games.
There's even a few freshman goalies to watch, including
Guelph's Thomas McCollum, who has a win and a shoot out
loss in his first two games along with a 0.96 GAA and .967 save
percentage.
The future is bright for the OHL.
