Ontario Hockey League Grants Shane Wright Exceptional Status
The status granted to Shane Wright has only been granted to four other players in the OHL. John Tavares, Aaron Ekblad, Connor McDavid and Sean Day have all been recipients of this exception. The first three all followed it by being drafted 1st overall in both the OHL Draft and the NHL draft. Day was drafted 4th overall by the Mississauga Steelheads in the OHL draft and then in the third round by the New York Rangers with the 81st pick in the NHL draft. This is the first time since 2013 with Sean Day.
