Nov.22nd Update:

-C Jake O'Brien has amassed 16 points in his last 7 games, to put him in a tie for 21st in OHL scoring- after a slow start to the season. 21gp/11g/17a/28pts,even, 6 PIM.

-LW Malcolm Spence has jumped up into a tie for 16th in OHL scoring, after posting 5 points in the last 2 games. 22gp/11g/18a/29pts,+20, 16 PIM. He is tied for 6th-overall in plus/minus.

-C Mike Misa has 15 points (5 goals) in his last 7 games, and still leads the OHL, with 22gp/23g/20a/43pts,+21, 8 PIM. His goal-scoring pace has calmed a bit, but that's really just nitpicking.

-RW Porter Martone has 7 points in a 4-game span, after 2 games without a point. He's second in OHL scoring by 4, with 20gp/17g/22a/39pts,+6, 32 PIM.

-LD Cameron Reid only has 2 points in his last 7, for a stat line of 23gp/4g/17a/21pts,+7, 18 PIM.

-RW Justin Carbonneau is now tied for 5th in Q scoring, after posting 13 points in his last 9. 23gp/16g/18a/34pts,+2, 20 PIM.

-RW Bill Zonnon is now 7th in Q scoring, after 14 points in 9 games in November, even though he's pointless in the last 2. 24gp/12g/21a/33pts,+11, 10 PIM.

-C Caleb Desnoyers has posted 14 points in 8 games so far in November, and is 11th in scoring with 19gp/14g/15a/29pts,+21, 12 PIM. He's tied for 2nd in plus/minus.

-C Mateo Nobert might be one to watch, as he's tied with Desnoyers for 11th in scoring, with 23gp/13g/16a/29pts,+4, 10 PIM. He was drafted by the Armada in the 2023 Q Draft, 3rd overall, and has plenty of talent to work with on that team, including Jonathan Fauchon, and the aforementioned Justin Carbonneau.

-LW Phillippe Veilleux, who stands 5'9" and weighs 165lbs, is on a tear in November, posting 16 points in his last 9 games to put him in a tie for 20th in scoring, with 23gp/12g/14a/26pts,-13, 2 PIM. This feat puts him first in scoring on a weak Val D'Or club that sits second-last in the league.

-In 8 games in November, C Carter Bear has posted 18 points to move into second place in WHL scoring (behind Gavin McKenna, who has 47 points in 24 games) with 22gp/19g/20a/39pts,+18, 18 PIM. He is third in goals, and 9th-overall in plus/minus.

-RW Cameron Schmidt is 5th in scoring, and first in goals, with 20gp/23g/11a/34pts,even, 16 PIM. In November, he's got 13 points (11 goals) in 7 games.

-C Ben Kindel has moved up to 14th in WHL scoring, after putting up 12 points in his last 7 games on a mediocre Hitmen squad. 22gp/14g/17a/31pts,+2.

-LW Nathan Behm has slowed a bit, with 8 points so far in November through 9 games. He's slipped to 17th in scoring, with 22gp/14g/16a/30pts,+9, 10 PIM.

-LW Lynden Lakovic has 8 points in 7 games in November, to put him in 25th-place in the scoring race, with 22gp/11g/16a/27pts,-9, 4 PIM. After competing in the Memorial Cup last season, Moose Jaw is dead last in the WHL currently.

-C Cole Reschny has 8 points in 8 November games, putting him in a tie for 25th in scoring with 21gp/9g/18a/27pts,+1, 16 PIM.

-D Jackson Smith has cooled a bit, with only 2 points in his last 6 games. He's tied for 8th in scoring by D, with 22gp/2g/18a/20pts,+10, 24 PIM.

-D Will Sharpe is 10th in D scoring, with 20gp/2g/17a/19pts,+3, 12 PIM, after 7 points in his last 8.

-LW Victor Eklund (brother of SJ Sharks' William Eklund) has 4 points in 7 games in November, but he's playing in Sweden's second-highest men's league, for Djurgardens of the Allsvenskan. He's impressed, with 20gp/8g/7a/15pts,+5, 27 PIM.

-C James Hagens has 9 points in 7 games in November, for Boston College. 11gp/1g/14a/15pts,+17, 4 PIM, tops in the NCAA for plus/minus.

-D Matt Schaefer has played 10 games in November, posting 15 points for 13gp/6g/12a/18pts,+18, 6 PIM, tied for 8th in the league in plus/minus. He's on pace for 81 points in 59 games.

-C Anton Frondell participated in the U-18 5 Nations Cup that took place in Czechia from Nov.4th-10th, and put up 7 points in 4 games. He also has 2 points in 2 Allsvenskan games in November, and 3 points in 3 J20 games, and by some accounts, he's still getting back in the groove after his injury. 9gp/5g/2a/7pts,+6, 8 PIM in the J20 so far this season, and 5gp/1g/1a/2pts,+4, 0 PIM in the Allsvenskan.

-C Will Moore put up 3 goals and 5 points in 4 games at the 5 Nations, and sits at 22gp/8g/9a/17pts,-7, 2 PIM in the NTDP.

-I predicted earlier this season that W Jakob Ihs-Wozniak would start coming around, and would rise up the Draft Boards, and it appears like it's starting to happen. He's up to 21gp/6g/21a/27pts,+4, 6 PIM for Lulea of the J20.
