Only a select group of players have been granted Exceptional Status in the CHL, and Michael Misa is one of them. In 2022, Misa was given the honour and ultimately drafted by the OHL’s Saginaw Spirit. Since then, the highly touted prospect has won a Memorial Cup and is expected to be a top five pick in the upcoming 2025 NHL Draft.
Before he hits the pros, we had an opportunity to hop on the ice with Michael and see how his 81 HUT overall compares to his real life skill. To no surprise… he exceeded the overall and managed to embarrass Jesse in the process.
Oh- and Prince George Cougars goaltender Josh Ravensbergen made an appearance as well!
Guess Jesse learned his lesson… When is this dude going to stop dropping mitts with soon-to-be professional athletes?!
TSN’s Craig Button listed Misa as his fifth overall prospect in his most recent rankings, so make sure to keep an eye on Mississauga native as we inch closer to this year’s draft. Great player, and a better personality!
