History
Toronto's last selection in the 2004 draft, Norton was a year older then most 2004 draftees (19). He attends Providence College. Attended Thayer Academy prep school, which counts Jeremy Roenick and Tony Amonte as a few of their notable alumnus.
He notched his first collegiate goal on January 6th, 2006 in the Friars 5-1 win over Boston University.
Talent Analysis
Norton is a competitive, tough power forward with good hands who seems to have a scoring touch. As with all young players, Norton needs to work on his skating and footwork before making the jump to the pro level. Norton had never been tested at a high level of competition before Providence.
Future
Norton is a long-range commodity for the Maple Leafs.
