CHL notebook: Canucks prospect Brzustewicz shining in OHL
NHL.com's Adam Kimmelman
Just how remarkable a season is Vancouver Canucks defenseman prospect Hunter Brzustewicz having?

"The 19-year-old, selected in the third round (No. 75) of the 2023 NHL Draft, leads the OHL with 60 points (seven goals, 53 assists) in 38 games for Kitchener. Only one defenseman has ever led the OHL in scoring, Bryan Fogarty with 155 points (47 goals, 108 assists) in 1988-89 for Niagara Falls. The last defenseman to finish in the top five was Ryan Ellis, who was fifth with 101 points (24 goals, 77 assists) with Windsor in 2010-11."

"He's really made strides with shooting the puck more, getting a little bit more velocity on his shots, getting pucks to the net, having more of a shot mentality," said Mike Komisarek, who works in player development for the Canucks. "I think when you're a passer and that's your kind of first threat, people almost allow you to shoot and they start taking away the pass. So, he's become more well-rounded in that aspect."
