Spirit sign defenceman Drew Roscoe

Saginaw, Mich. – The Saginaw Spirit has signed defenceman Drew Roscoe to a Standard Player Agreement, officially joining the organization.

“This is an incredibly exciting day,” said Spirit GM Dave Drinkill. “Any time you go into a draft, you have an idea of how you want it to go.”

Drew Roscoe is a 6’6” right-shot defenseman the Spirit drafted in the second round, 40th overall this spring. He notched 34 points (6G-28A) in 57 games with the Shattuck St. Mary’s 15U team in 2024-2025.

“From top to bottom, it’s amazing to get to know everyone and get a feel for it,” said Roscoe. “It was so exciting to hear my name called by the Saginaw Spirit and I’m excited to get things going.”

Official OHL Scouting Report: Drew has really turned a lot of heads as it’s hard to find a defenceman that has his size and moves as well as he does. Couple that with his very good skill set and understanding of the game and you can see why he is an intriguing prospect. He is a very good skater that has excellent mobility and overall quickness. He is hard to beat one on one as he uses his long reach and good stick to break up plays, intercept and knock down passes. He moves the puck very well in all three zones and isn’t shy about jumping up into the play when the opportunity arises. He is a very smart and heady player that doesn’t force the play and makes the simple and effective plays. Drew is a player that has a very high ceiling.
