Leafs prospect Connor Brown nabs OHL player of the week

October 14 - Ontario Hockey League leading scorer Connor Brown was awarded Player of the Week honours after putting up seven points in three games leading up to October 13. The Erie Otters continue to roll on like a steam train, demolishing Mississauga Steelheads 7-0 on the road this afternoon, with Brown picking up a couple of assists.

Drafted in the 2012 6th round, 156th overall, Brown is likely headed to the Toronto Marlies next year, and surely must be enjoying his time playing alongside budding superstar Conor McDavid  (2015 NHL Draft) and undrafted free agent Dane Fox. Now 3rd  in OHL scoring himself (McDavid is tied for 10th), Fox was picked up from the London Knights two years ago. Erie trails only London in the Midwest Division of the OHL.
