History
McGinn scored 26 goals and 31 assists in 65 games for the offensively-challenged 67s. He started off his OHL career slowly and was shuffled around from line to line a lot. He really started to produce when he started to play with Logan Couture. He showed up and was the best forward on the 67s in last year’s Memorial Cup run, and a lot has been expected of him since.
He played for Team Canada at the U17s, and won a gold medal with Team Canada in the Under-18s.
Read HF's interview with Jamie McGinn.
2007-08: McGinn split time between the OHL and AHL this season, appearing in 51 games for the Ottawa 67’s (OHL) and another eight for the Worcester Sharks (AHL). He recorded 58 points (29g+29a) with Ottawa in 51 appearances, and his time spent with Worcester yielded two assists. In four postseason games with the 67’s, he recorded two goals and two assists.
Talent Analysis
McGinn is smart and well-coached by Hockey Hall of Famer Brian Kilrea. McGinn is not flashy and he makes the most of the abilities he possesses.
McGinn brings incredible energy to just about every shift, and is one of those players with the ability to turn the momentum of a game around. He cycles the puck really well which is important in today’s game. With so much offensive upside, he still does penalty killing work, so he is an all-around player. His lack of size will not hamper him too much, as he is very physical for his size. He won the fastest skater in the Prospects Skills competition.
