SCOUTING REPORT: Caleb had a rough start to the season as he missed most of the first half due to injury. He is a very complete two-way centre that has a great understanding of the game. He is reliable in his own end and does not cheat to try to create offence. He is very calculated in his play as he rarely makes poor decisions with the puck. He is a dynamically skilled player that has great one on one abilities and can make plays with very limited space. Like his father, he is very solid on draws, winning the majority that he takes. He was relied on by his coaches to play in every situation and was counted on in the playoffs and OHL Cup to lead his team.
