Graham makes his debut
by Mitchell Brandner
Mitchell Graham made his Ontario Hockey League debut Jan. 31 in a game against the Peterborough Petes.
Although the 2011 eleventh round draft pick played a limited role, Graham finished the game with two shots on net and a hit.
“I didn’t get a ton of ice in the third but when I got my ice I made the most of it,” said Graham.
Head coach Bob Boughner gave Graham some words of advice prior to the game.
“(Boughner) told me to keep it simple and be creative when I can down low,” said Graham. “Just be a spark.”
With Spits forward Ryan Verbeek still serving a suspension, Graham might get a few more games to prove he belongs at this level.
