NHL PLAYER COMPARISON
ZACH BENSON (Winnipeg ICE / Buffalo Sabres)
“Ossie is a dangerous offensive player. In the 2009 draft class there are few players with better offensive instincts and a better ability to create than Ossie. He has a unique ability to slide in and out of traffic and the skill to maintain puck possession in the process. He uses a quick first step to evade defenders out of the corners and off of the wall in the offensive zone. Ossie will be an exciting player to watch as he progresses to junior hockey.”
– Taylor Green (WHL Manager of Hockey Operations)
