The Canadian Hockey Leagues all wrapped up their seasons this past weekend and in the Ontario Hockey League, the teams with Bruins prospects on their rosters are all headed to the playoffs.

Dougie Hamilton and the Niagara IceDogs finished up the regular season at the top of the Eastern Conference with a 47-18-0-3 record and their 97 points was a first for the franchise. In the Western Conference, the London Knights, home to Jared Knight, finished with a 49-18-0-1 record and just a point shy of 100 with 99 points.

Had Alexander Khokhlachev not been injured with a lacerated kidney, the Western Conference Quarterfinals would pit two Bruins prospects against each other as Knight’s London Knights are set to face off against Khokhlachev’s Windsor Spitfires.

Kingston Frontenacs forward and Boston Bruins prospect Ryan Spooner has been named OHL Player of the Week for the week ending November 13th. Spooner had four goals and six assists in ten games with a plus-minus rating of +8. 

The struggling Frontenacs got help from Spooner as they won three straight games for the first time this season. The 2010 second round draft pick for the Bruins had his second career five point game in his team's 5-3 victory of the Saginaw Spirit on Sunday. In the game he had a shorthanded goal and four assists to earn first star. Friday he netted a pair of goals in the team's 7-0 victory over the Oshawa Generals and Sunday he had a shorthanded goal and two assists when Kingston defeated the Ottawa 67's 7-4. 

Spooner is also taking part in the OHL Superseries this week where he will don the "A" on his jersey tonight in Sault Ste. Marie. In the first game in Ottawa on Thursday he had three assists when team OHL beat the Russian Selects 10-7.

Boston Bruins prospects Dougie Hamilton and Ryan Spooner will be donning more than just the OHL name on their Team OHL jerseys. Hamilton, the Bruins 9th overall first round pick in the 2011 draft, has been named captain for the game in Sault Ste. Marie while Spooner has been named as one of the assistants for the games in both Ottawa and Sault Ste. Marie.

Hamilton, a defenseman for the Niagra IceDogs, was just named OHL Defenseman of the Month for the month of October. He's 12th in the OHL for point amassing 25 through 17 games. He has 8 goals and 17 assists as well 20 PIMs and is a +4. 

Spooner, a 2010 draft pick selected 45th overall in the second round, third on his team for points with 12. He has 5 goals and 7 assists through 17 games.

The game in Ottawa is set to take place on November 10th and the game in SSM will take place on the 14th against the Russian Selects. 

The two Bruins prospects will be playing against fellow prospect Alexander Khokhlachev in the game in Ottawa. "Koko," from the Windsor Spitfires, has 21 points through 19 games with 6 goals and 15 assists.

Boston Bruins 2011 first round draft pick Dougie Hamilton has been named OHL Defenseman of the Month for October.

The Niagra IceDogs blueliner led all OHL defenseman in scoring for the month with 20 points. Those 20 points came over the course of 12 games where Hamilton had seven goals and 13 assists. 

Hamilton also had a career high point streak in nine games in the month of October. The point streek that lasted from October 6th to October 26th included seven multi-point games as well.

Last season Hamilton finished third in voting for the OHL Defenseman of the Year Award. 

There was no doubt in the minds of anyone that covers the Ontario Hockey League that the Kingston Frontenacs would be near the cellar in the standings this season. With that distinction in Canadian Major Junior Hockey typically comes the task of selling off your assets in order to bring in prospects and draft picks to help in the rebuilding. It’s a process most CHL teams go through every few years.

Boston Bruins’ prospect Ryan Spooner is Kingston’s prized asset. Almost everyone believed prior to the season that it wasn’t a question of if Spooner got traded but when.  The London Knights are the team most rumoured to be interested in Spooner’s services. That’s a deal that many would love - Spooner would join his friend and fellow Bruins’ prospect Jared Knight on a team that sits atop the OHL standings and is the top ranked team in the Canadian Hockey League.

But Spooner's hometown Ottawa 67’s are said to also have interest. Rumours are rampant that the 67’s have a solid offer on the table or are about to make one for Spooner’s services.  It’s believed that the 67’s have offered a prospect plus an assortment of draft picks. The Knights however, can’t match the picks that the 67’s have since they’ve already sent their 2 second round picks in 2012 to Kingston in the Max Domi trade.

A team that could be an underdog is the Kitchener Rangers. They have a lot of young talent and GM/Coach Steve Spott isn’t one to sit pat. But Spott would have to believe he has a chance of going deep into the playoffs with Spooner before he pulls the trigger, but it’s not likely to happen.

For Bruins fans that are salivating at the thought of their two prized assets playing together, what will it take? Again, just rumours, but it’s said that the Frontenacs would want Knights prospect Bo Horvat and picks in return. But it’s hard to imagine that the Knights would part with Horvat for less than a season of Spooner. It’s possible that one of the Rupert twins could be part of the deal. But the lack of high end draft picks for the Knights would mean that they would have to include a player that is already OHL established and the Frontenacs could get two more seasons from. And that could be Seth Griffith who is lighting it up this year for the Knights.

As for Spooner, he’s biding his time in Kingston. While his statistics have taken a dive, his work ethic and defensive play has been better than ever. So much so that the brass putting together the OHL squad for the 2012 Subway Super Series versus the Russians, have named Spooner to the squad, one of only 13 players to play in both games against the Russians.

Fans shouldn’t be disappointed in his production to date. He is playing on an inexperienced squad while at the same time learning other aspects of the game and becoming a leader and a teacher for the younger kids. For Spooner, the points will come once he plays with more experienced players. There is just too much talent there for it not to happen.
