Rookie of the Month - Carter George (Owen Sound Attack)

Draft eligible Owen Sound Attack netminder Carter George is the OHL Rookie of the Month for October, playing to a 5-2-1-0 record with a 2.18 goals-against average, .929 save percentage and one shutout. George posted his first career OHL clean sheet on Oct. 14th in Sault Ste. Marie, making 34 saves as the Attack defeated the Greyhounds 4-0. All five of George's October victories featured at least 29 saves, headlined by a pair of first star performances.

A 17-year-old from Thunder Bay, Ont., George maintains designated rookie status in the OHL this season as a result of playing in just 10 games last year when he went 7-3 with a 2.41 goals-against average with a .924 save percentage, splitting time between the Bears and the GOJHL's St. Marys Lincolns. George backstopped Canada's national men's under-18 team to gold at the Hlinka Gretzky Cup this past summer. He was recently listed as a 'B' rated goaltender on NHL Central Scouting's October players to watch list. He was Owen Sound's third round (53rd overall) pick in the 2022 OHL Priority Selection.

Also considered for recognition this month, draft eligible Mississauga Steelheads defender Jakub Fibigr led OHL rookies with 11 points (2-9--11) in 13 games from the blueline.
