The Ontario Hockey League is pleased to recognize Ottawa 67's forward Marco Rossi who claims the Eddie Powers Memorial Trophy as the League's Top Scorer presented by Kubota Canada.
The draft eligible centreman finished atop the CHL scoring charts with 120 points including 39 goals, 81 assists and an impressive plus/minus rating of plus-69 over just 53 games.
His 2.14 point-per-game pace led the OHL and is the highest such figure by an OHL scoring champion since London's Patrick Kane (2.50) in 2006-07. He becomes the first Eddie Powers Memorial Trophy recipient of European descent since Stan Mikita of the St. Catharines Teepees claimed the honour in 1958-59.
Rossi's 120 points are the most by a 67's player in a single season since Corey Locke (151) in 2002-03.
The sixth-ranked North American skater on NHL Central Scouting's Final Draft Rankings competed in the 2020 Kubota CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game this past January in Hamilton.
The Eddie Powers Memorial Trophy was donated by the Toronto Marlboro Athletic Club in memory of Eddie Powers and was first awarded in 1945-46 to Tod Sloan of St. Michael's who scored 79 points in 25 games.
