History
2005-06: In his first season with the Sting, Katic recorded 34 points (five goals, 29 assists) and 33 PIM. His 34 points were the most for an OHL rookie defenseman, and second most for any Sarnia defenseman. He was named the Sting’s Co-Rookie of the year and was a member of the OHL’s First Team All-Rookie squad.
2006-07: Katic's play for the Sting levelled off this season. Matching his goal totals from last season with five, he only tallied six more total points despite playing more games (17) and logging more minutes. He was selected to play in the OHL All-Star Classic where he failed to record a point, but finished the game a +2. He was selected to play in the ADT Canada-Russia Challenge for Team OHL where he recorded one assist in one game. Katic was also one of the 40 players selected to play in the 2007 Home Hardware CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game where he was one of the Assistant Captains. He failed to record a point during the game.

2007-08: After playing for Team Canada in the World Junior 18-A tournament at the end of the 2006-07 season, Katic rejoined the Sarnia Sting (OHL) for his third season with the club. He put up 31 points (5+26) in 45 games after missing the first five of the season.
Talent Analysis
Katic is a strong skater who demonstrates very good ice vision and passing ability. If he gets back to the basics - focuses on making that smart first pass, and concentrates on his skating and positioning - some team could find themselves with a steal in this defenseman.
