Toronto, Ont. - The Ontario Hockey League today announced the OHL Academic Players of the Month for October 2019, including Shane Wright of the Kingston Frontenacs, Pacey Schlueting of the North Bay Battalion, Zack Terry of the Guelph Storm and Cole Perfetti of the Saginaw Spirit.
West Division: Saginaw Spirit forward and top 2020 NHL Draft prospect Cole Perfetti is the OHL West Division Academic Player of the Month for October. Perfetti owns an overall average of 95% in his Grade 12 studies at Heritage High School, learning about subjects such as algebra as well as elite athlete and leadership courses. This marks the second time Perfetti has received the honour after doing so in February 2019.
"Cole is an outstanding, conscientious individual with an excellent work ethic," said Spirit academic advisor Pam Moretuzzo. "He welcomes academic and personal challenges and works diligently which is evident in his high achievements. Cole's grade 11 average was 93% which included university-level and international baccalaureate courses. He is a very strong student and has assumed the role of peer tutor in numerous study sessions. He is well-liked and respected by his peers and adults alike and has proven himself to be a true leader in and out of school."
After setting a Spirit franchise record with 37 goals as a rookie in 2018-19, Perfetti has continued his production, leading the team with 27 points (5-22--27) through 16 games this season. He'll be representing Team OHL in next week's CIBC Canada Russia Series. Perfetti was Saginaw's first round (5th overall) pick in the 2018 OHL Priority Selection from the Vaughan Kings Minor Midgets.
