Transcript of OHL Plays Of The Week w/ Steve Dangle - End-To-End | O-WOW

Oh wow it's you again. Hello friends Steve Dangle here and welcome to another edition of Oh Wow where we take a look at the best plays from around the Ontario Hockey League over the past week. This week also very good but there is a clear theme. Hockey is a team sport. We all know that.

But these are solo efforts and they're fantastic. Why don't we start with Cole Brown of the Brantford Bulldogs. He's having a great season so far.

Back into actions. Bulldogs control the puck. Brown makes a move to the net, gets around and scores. Power move by Cole Brown. Opens the scoring at Oshawa.

Oh, wow. Apparently, his season got a little better. In 2023, Cole Brown was a 6th round draft pick of the New Jersey Devils' 164th overall. His career high in goals is 17, his career high in points is 42 and he's on track to blow those totals out of the water. With 12 goals in 21 points in just 26 games so far this season, this kid is 6 foot 3 doing this.

I don't know, I'm just not terribly sure how you're supposed to stop that. And I love the internal competition here because his teammate Nick Lardis was on oh wow last week. Again you can check that video out on this youtube channel. Cole Brown absolutely slicing and dicing his way through the Oshawa generals and then the little bowling ball celebration at the end for good measure. Cole Brown.

Oh wow. For our next highlight, not everything is a solo effort. After all it's a team sport and sometimes you need a little helping hand. Sometimes you need a little absolute laser beam up the ice down the middle for a breakaway and that leads to a goal and a lesson. I learned something I didn't know before.

Because I always thought the world's largest nickel was in Sudbury, Ontario. It turns out it plays in London. Here's William Nicholl.

I know the Cometh played a little football on his day too. So oh, I don't know about that. Buck is gonna be playing here by the London Knights through the middle. Nice pass. Here's Nicholl coming in back, and scores.

William Nicholl sliding it through, and it's 1 nothing London knights. What a play. Nicholl picking up his 9th goal of the season, opening up the scoring.

Oh wow. How about 2024 for William Nicol? First, he helps the London Knights win yet another OHL championship. Not long after that, he gets drafted into the NHL by the Edmonton Oilers 7th round a 194th overall. And forget pace, he's already blown his own Ontario Hockey League personal best out of the water.

Last year in 65 games, the forward had 6 goals. He's already got 10. Last year he had 14 assists, now he's got 17. Last year he had 20 points, now he's got 27 in 27 games. That currently has him 4th on the London knights in scoring but the guys ahead of him are ridiculous.

Sam Dickinson, 1st round pick to the San Jose Sharks. Denver Barkey, 3rd round pick to the Philadelphia flyers. Easton Cowan, 1st round pick to the Toronto Maple Leafs. That's it. It was a really nice pass to start this off but sometimes when you get an opportunity, a golden opportunity, doesn't mean you're not gonna choke.

Finishing off what started matters and this tuck 5 hole. Oh wow. For our next highlight, the Peterborough Petes were on the receiving end of that last goal. I don't think they like that very much. How about we go to a different Peterborough Petes game?

This time with them taking on the Niagara ice dogs and, oh, wow. Gavin Bryant goes end to end not just against any team, but his former team.

I can sit ahead here and it's gonna be played by Gavin Bryant. The puck was bouncing on him a little bit. He gets it to settle. Here he goes over the blue going wide heading

to the goal. He shoots up,

rebound scores. Gavin Bryan, the former ice dog on the power play, closes the gap. It's a 3, 2

hockey game.

Oh yeah, no that's pretty good. Gavin Bryant the Ingersoll, Ontario native like forget a lead pass, you know forget a tic tac toe a 2 on 1 whatever. How about I just carve through everyone on the other team like a thanksgiving turkey? That requires so much adapting on the fly. Not to mention he was stopped on the initial shot and then stuck with it and got the rebound.

Gavin Bryant, are you kidding me dude? Oh wow. And for a final highlight, Niagara I'm so sorry but we're not finished with you. The Flint Firebirds take flight specifically Jeremy Martin.

And off in on the forecheck. Mania with the pass. Driving all the way through and scoring a beautiful goal. Jeremy Martin has his 4th of the season and 3rd in 5 games. Flint leads 1 nothing.

Oh. Wow that's that's not even just cutting through your opponents like butter like like finessing and everything. That that power cutting around and driving the net. So here I was thinking I like Jeremy Martin because he's from my current hometown of Ajax. No, I think I like him for this stuff too.

Guys I think Jeremy Martin likes to hang on to the puck because right now Jeremy is just 17 years old but he already has a full season in the OHL under his belt. He was with Flint last year. He played 64 games with Flint and put up 13 goals as a 16 year old. That's pretty good. But this made me laugh.

In those 64 games, 1 assist. This year, forget it. All bets are off. He's already up to 3. And dude, I'm not even poking fun at the guy because if you can do that, if you can do what you just saw, why would you ever pass it?

This is nasty, nasty stuff. Jeremy Martin. Oh, wow. That was this week's edition of Oh, wow. As always, please give us a like and please give us a subscribe.
