SCoC Draft Profiles: Sean Durzi is a defender on a mission

Analysis:

Sean Durzi has had a weird couple of years.

By all accounts, he should’ve been drafted last year. But what was initially labeled a minor ankle injury turned out to be an extra bone growing there (what the orthopedic community calls Os Trigonum). He had to get surgery, and for guys like Durzi, who are puck movers, that means rehabbing...and that he might lose a step. His goal total cratered (though he had 38 points) as he dealt with this, and he went undrafted in 2017.

That didn’t break him, and instead he re-dedicated himself to hockey, getting tryouts with the Islanders and Leafs, before returning to the OHL’s Owen Sound Attack.

And he promptly lit the OHL up.

Durzi is a 6’0…
