Nope. Wayne Simmons played his second year of junior hockey at the age of 19 and played in the NHL on the Los Angeles Kings as a 20 year old. Jason Demers played his fourth year of junior at age 19, was drafted in the 7th round after that season, and then played the following season in the AHL for the Worcester Sharks as a 20 year old.
