History
2007-08: In his first season with the Mississauga St. Michael’s Majors, Gaunce was named to the OHL All-Rookie Team. He led all team defensemen in scoring with 40 points in 63 games, finishing 12th among league rookies in scoring. He was the recipient of the Majors Tim Horton Defenseman of the Year Award and added one assist in four playoff games with St. Michael’s.
Talent Analysis
The Avalanche had eyes on Gaunce long before draft day.
“We were very happy to grab a player of his caliber where we did,” said Avalanche chief scout Hampson. “He’s a solid character player and has a good feel for the game.”
Hampson said the Sudbury, Ontario native has good size and strength but will need to work on his skating to adjust well to the pro game.
Future
He’ll be brought up slowly through the Avalanche system and should be back in Mississauga this fall.
