Rookie phenom Wright taking the lead in Kingston

KINGSTON, ONT – If you’ve watched the Kingston Frontenacs play at all this season, you already know there’s something special about Shane Wright.

The centreman sits second atop the OHL rookie scoring race with 18 goals and 13 assists for 31 points in just as many games through the opening half of his first season in the league. He plays a 240-foot game with remarkable acceleration and a wicked shot.

Behind closed doors he leads practice drills, he puts 100% into every rep of his workouts, and doesn’t cut corners. He’s a leader among the five other rookies on his team and shows them how to do what comes naturally to him: put up big points.
