History

2006-07: Torquato made the trip from the penthouse to the outhouse this season in the OHL, but you would never tell by his attitude or on-ice performance. After being traded from the Saginaw Spirit to the Otters mid-season, Torquato was immediately given a letter and displayed the solid on-ice leadership he’s known for.  In 40 games with the bottom-feeding Otters, Torquato accounted for 46 points – a similar pace to what he was at in Saginaw where he scored 24 points in 22 games.

Talent Analysis

He’s a player who plays larger than his 6’ size and has helped his linemates perform better this season. In the end, Torquato projects to be a solid complementary player with nice offensive potential.

Future

Must improve on his skating, as his great playmaking skills and vision will only go so far against his larger opponents.
