Sitting on top of the Ontario Hockey League, Seguin and Hall are tied with 106 points. In goals, Hall comes up short, but in assists, it's Seguin who is falling behind. Nevertheless, it's a pleasure to watch both 18-year olds compete for the chance to lift the Memorial Cup at the end of the season.
Though the Barrie Colts, led by Stefan Della Rovere and Alex Pietrangelo, are enjoying top spot in the league with 116 points, Hall's Spitfires (Windsor) are ranked 1st in the Western Conference and Seguin's Plymouth Whalers are at 4th.
Much NHL attention is being paid to Taylor Hall, who shone in the 2010 IIHF Championships. But Seguin has suddenly become a strong contender for number 1 draft pick, with a playing style likened to Steve Yzerman. And with his emergence into the spotlight, the OHL has suddenly become a hotbed for exciting hockey.
Though so far in April, the Windsor Spitfires have beat the Plymouth Whalers in every game they have played against each other, Seguin looks to come out victorious in his next matchup against Hall on Wednesday, April 7.
