Profile Contributed By: HF Staff
History
2007-08: In his rookie OHL season, Chiarot appeared in 31 games for the Guelph Storm. He registered no points while posting 14 penalty minutes and a -3 plus/minus total.
2008-09: Chiarot played a larger role for the Storm in his second season, appearing in 67 games for the team. He netted two goals and added 10 assists while posting 111 penalty minutes and a +11. In four playoff games, he tallied three assists but was a -4 in those games.
Talent Analysis
At 6'2, 210 lbs, Chiarot has prototypical NHL size and this year he showed he was willing to throw it around. He has some offensive game but he's never going to be an elite offensive weapon. Rather his hallmarks are defensive play and physicality and he used this season to its fullest to showcase those abilities.
Future
Projects as a bottom-pairing stay at home defenseman.
