Fans tell us Who Wore It Best: Jonathan Ang
Petes fans, we heard your calls and received your nominations. This week the Petes will highlight alumni who you believe should have been included in Who Wore It Best?
Like most jersey numbers, #21 posed itself a challenge when it trying to cut down the final list of delegates. The alumni who were available to vote on included Steve Hogg, Danny Grant, Jody Hull and goaltender Greg Mullen. Hogg received the highest number of votes with 434.
However, there was one player fans told us deserved to be on that finalized list, and for good reason: Jonathan Ang.
From Markham, Ontario, Ang was drafted to the Petes in the first round, ninth overall in the 2014 OHL Priority Selection in April. In 233 games with Peterborough, he tallied 171 points; with his highest point total during the 2016-17 campaign (67 games, 27 goals, 32 assists). After his career year in the maroon and white, Ang was drafted to the Florida Panthers in the fourth round, #94th overall. In November 2017, the Panthers signed Ang to an entry-level contract. He’s currently playing for the HC Thurgau of the Swiss B League, the same league Mason McTavish plays in.
He like many local guys, is a fan-favourite and deserves to be recognized on the short-list for Who Wore it Best?
