Erie Otters News Release
Erie, Pennsylvania - The Erie Otters Hockey Club announced today the selection of Taeo Artichuk-Murphy, right wing from the Toronto Marlboros, with the 21st overall 10th overall in the 2021 OHL Priority Section presented by Real Canadian Superstore.
PLAYER PROFILE
"Taeo is a skilled forward with solid feet and a second gear that he uses to his advantage. He plays in all situations, averaged 2.18 points per game last season, and is a leader amongst his team. Taeo demonstrates a strong work ethic in all three zones. He handles the puck well at his top speed, driving the net with and without the puck, and can find open teammates with crisp passes. An ultra-competitor, Taeo sacrifices his body blocking shots, gets his stick into passing/shooting lanes, and forechecks quickly. He is one of the hardest-working players in the draft. Welcome to the Otters organization Taeo," said Devin Brown, Co-Director of Scouting.
