Mississauga’s right winger, Owen Tippett, rises seven positions this month to #4 from last month’s #11 ranking. Nolan Patrick (#1), Timothy Liljegren (#2) and Gabe Vilardi (#3) continue to maintain the top 3 ranks for November’s release.
“Not many weaknesses to Tippett’s play,” says ISS Hockey Director of Scouting Dennis MacInnis. “He’s a very good skater with powerful stride and speed. He even has a second gear to get away from a check.”
