Regular visitors of Notinhalloffame.com know that we are slowly working on the top 50 of every major team in the NHL, NBA, NFL, and MLB. Once that is done, we will examine how each team honors its past players, coaches, and executives. As such, it is important to us that the Erie Otters of the Ontario Hockey League will retire the number 97 of Connor McDavid.
The event will occur on January 10 during Erie’s home game against Saginaw.
Receiving a special exemption (Exceptional Player Status) to enter the OHL Draft at age 15 (only John Tavares and Aaron Ekblad have also done so), McDavid scored 285 Points in three OHL seasons and won multiple individual awards, including the CHL Player of the Year in 2015.
McDavid becomes the third player to have his number retired by the Otters, as he follows Brad Boyes (#16) and Vince Scott (#18).
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate Connor McDavid for his impending honor.
