Statistics

What Scouts See

Mitchell has a 2nd-4th round tag for the upcoming draft.

From the hockeywriters.com:

“After a first season in the AJHL where he established himself as a very solid defender (as a 17-year-old), Mitchell upped his game and was a very good defender this season as an 18-year-old – arguably only Makar was more impressive in terms of teens in junior A this season.
