Connor Shipton
Toronto Predators Scouting Report 2016/17 Season
Connor spent the past three season in the Greater Metro Hockey League (GMHL) although starting off slow the first two seasons he had a major break out year, which aided in a playoff berth for the Predators who ultimately lost in the first round via St.George Ravens in three games.
Connor being 18, is already on a great start to a pro career in Europe.
The 18 year old comes in at six feet, 201 pounds, which really helps his physical game.
What we have noticed about Connor is his consistent grittiness, isn't afraid to get into the corners to work for the puck, very good passer but does need work with shooting, always puts defence first which is a coach favourite, as any good teammate Connor will always stick up for a teammate, he will be a great physical addition for any team in the near future.
This GMHL veteran made the drop to Jr.C this year as he signs with the Blenheim Blades,
