Flint Firebirds News Release
FLINT, Mich. - The Flint Firebirds announced on Friday that they have selected right wing Cole Zurawski with the sixth overall pick in the 2024 OHL Priority Selection.
Zurawski spent the 2023-24 season with the Mississauga Rebels U16 AAA of the GTHL. He appeared in 34 games for the Rebels and recorded 19 goals and 23 assists. The Etobicoke, Ontario native recorded two goals and three assists in five games during the OHL Cup.
"We believe Cole was the best player in the draft, he was number one on our list," Firebirds head scout Mike Oliverio said. "Cole can be a Coulson Pitre 2.0. He is a right shot forward who can score and is a great mix of a physical and skilled player."
