Brantford Bulldogs head coach Jay McKee spent three years playing defense in front of legendary Buffalo Sabres goalie Ryan Miller, and he sees a lot of the same traits in one of the organization's top goaltending prospects.
Ryerson Leenders, a seventh-round pick by the Sabres in the 2024 NHL draft, plays for McKee in Brantford. His fourth OHL season is off to a terrific start with a 2.17 goals against average and .920 save percentage across 15 games for the first-place Bulldogs.
"I think if I were to compare him style wise, he really mimics Ryan Miller," McKee told Tyler Millen of Sabres.
