History
2008-09: Prout skated in 65 games for OHL Barrie in his first full season with the Colts after splitting the previous season between Barrie and the Sarnia Sting. Prout had 6 assists and was third on the Colts with 98 PMs. He finished the season with a -11 plus/minus as Barrie finished third in its division and reached the OHL playoffs despite finishing under .500. In the five-game series with Mississauga St. Michael's he had 1 assist and 10 PMs with an even plus/minus.
2009-10: Prout had a coming out party in his fourth junior season. He skated in 63 games for the Barrie Colts, scoring 7 goals and 14 assists for 21 points along with 121 PIMs. He skated in 17 playoff games with 1 goal, 6 assists for 7 points and 20 PIMs.
2010-11: Prout returned to the OHL as a 20-year-old and began the season skating with Barrie before a mid-season trade to Saginaw. After going from the Colts, who would finish with the OHL's worst record, to eventual West champion Saginaw his offensive scoring pace and ice time dipped but Prout was able to play more of a two-way game. He scored 7 goals with 14 assists and was -8 with 55 PMs in 23 games with Barrie. In 29 games with the Spirit he scored 2 goals with 8 assists and was +5 with 44 PMs. Prout played in all 12 playoff games and had 2 goals and was +2 with 27 PMs as the Spirit reached the second round.
Talent Analysis
Prout has size, throws his weight around, and most importantly, likes to scrap. His ceiling is likely a bottom pairing defenseman at best.
Future
Prout will turn pro this season, likely joining a crowded Springfield blue line.
