OHL 2nd team All-Stars

The Ontario Hockey League announced the three All-Star teams earlier today. Each all-star team consists of three forwards, two defenseman, one goalie and one coach.

The Second All-Star Team:


Forwards:


Sean Monahan - C - Ottawa 67's --- The 17 year-old center scored 33 goals and assisted on 45 goals in 62 games in his second OHL season. He was third on the 67's in points with 78. Monahan had 38 penalty and a plus/minus rating of +25. He is a top ranked prospect for the 2013 NHL Entry Draft.

Tanner Pearson - LW - Barrie Colts --- Pearson improved immensely from his OHL rookie season last year. This season he scored 37 goals and had 54 assists for 91 points in 60 games, along with 37 penalty minutes and had a plus/minus rating of +21. Pearson will enter his third NHL draft this June as he went undrafted in the 2010 and 2011 NHL drafts, but this year he can be ranked anywhere from late first round to the middle of the third round.

Seth Griffith - RW - London Knights --- Griffith led the London Knights in goals and points this season. In 68 games, Griffith scored 45 goals and had 40 assists for 85 points. He had 49 penalty minutes and a +24 rating. He did not get drafted in the 2011 NHL draft which he was eligible for, so the over-ager is hoping to be drafted in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.


Defenseman:

Cody Ceci - D - Ottawa 67's --- Cody Ceci has an outstanding season with the 67's in all aspects of the game. In his third Ontario Hockey League season the 17 year-old, scored 17 goals and had 43 assists in 64 games. He posted a plus/minus rating of +21 and only took 12 minor penalties all seasosn.
