History
2007-08: In 62 games with the Guelph Storm (OHL), Holland registered eight goals and 15 assists for a total of 23 points. He added another helper in 10 postseason contests.
2008-09: Had a great sophomore season with Guelph, racking up 67 points (28 goals, 39 assists) in 68 games. Selected to play for the Western Conference All-Stars in the OHL All-Star Classic (two assists). Netted four goals in four postseason games. Appeared in the 2009 CHL Top Prospects Game and the U18 world championships.
2009-10: Plagued by injuries at the beginning of the season, Holland exploded in the winter, finishing the season with 30 goals, 50 assists, 9 powerplay goals, and 40 PIM in 59 games.
2010-11: Holland made an impressive pro debut with AHL Syracuse following his final OHL season and was called up for the Ducks' NHL playoff run though he did not appear in any games. Holland had a goal and assist in his first AHL game and scored twice in the Crunch's season-ending win over Hershey. Holland was the third-leading scorer for Guelph in his fourth OHL season; scoring 37 goals with 51 assists and was +6 with 57 PMs. He scored 15 of his 37 goals on the power play. In the Storm's six-game series with Saginaw he scored 3 goals with 6 assists and was -1 with 12 PMs.
Talent Analysis
A power forward prospect, Holland's stock has slipped a bit from the combine, particularly the interview portion. On the ice, his hockey sense is not as good as those above him. However, his size, offensive talents, and willingness to play in front of the net make him an option for teams who miss out on Zack Kassian. Holland is not as big as Kassian but still has time to grow and room on his frame to add weight. He has shown solid hands around the net and is noted for his ability to disrupt defensive sides with his forecheck.
Future
Holland will need a consistent compete level to make the NHL.
