Much of the chatter surrounding the Vancouver Canucks’ 10th overall selection has centred around offensive wingers and upside on the blue line. While of course areas of need, the team should also not be afraid to take a look at impact centremen available, and one of the top names at the position is Victoria Grizzlies captain Alex Newhook.
Running away with the British Columbia Hockey League scoring title, Newhook put up an astoinishing 102 points in 53 games, outpacing second place by 18 points. Finishing third in goals (with 38) and first in playoff scoring with 24 points in 15 games, he possesses an offensive ability well above his peers.
