First Round Pick Nick Ebert Commits to the Windsor Spitfires
The Windsor Spitfires announced on Monday that Nick Ebert has committed to the club after the Spitfires acquired the U.S. defenceman from the Mississauga St. Michael’s Majors. Ebert was a highly touted prospect heading into the 2010 OHL Priority Selection and was selected by the Majors with their first round pick, 17th overall.
The 6’1”, 190 pound rearguard played as a 15 year-old for the Waterloo Black Hawks of the United States Hockey League (USHL) along with current Spitfire Brady Vail last season and Ebert scored six goals and 18 points in 53 games for the Black Hawks.
“The Windsor Spitfires are really excited to acquire one of the best 1994 birthdate players in North America. Nick will be a key part of our team this year and will be one of our franchise’s cornerstones. He is a fluent skater who plays an excellent two-way game. He has tremendous pro upside and was one of only two 15 year olds along with Brady Vail to play in the USHL. Nick is eligible for the 2012 NHL Draft and will be attending our training camp starting tomorrow at the WFCU Centre,” said Warren Rychel.

OHL Central Scouting Report: Ebert has to be considered one of the premier defenseman available in this year’s Priority Selection. He played a prominent role for his hockey club, logging close to 25-30 minutes a game. He plays in all situations, getting time on the power play and penalty kill. He is a right handed shooting defenseman who possesses a ton of physical tools, and plays the game with poise, composure and maturity beyond his actual age. He has the potential to develop into the type of defenseman who can individually control and take over a game.
