Michael Misa, 15, granted exceptional player status ahead of OHL draft
CAMBRIDGE, Ont. — Michael Misa just broke one of Connor McDavid’s records.
The 15-year-old is now set to join the Edmonton Oilers superstar as a member of another elite class.
The Ontario Hockey Federation announced Thursday that Misa has been granted exceptional player status following a review by Hockey Canada and is eligible for the Ontario Hockey League draft 12 months early.
He joins McDavid, John Tavares, Aaron Ekblad, Shane Wright and Sean Day as players given a thumbs up to play in the OHL at age 15.
