Congratulations Jakub!

Petruzalek has been named OHL Rookie of the Month. From the OHL site:

Petruzalek led the 67's in scoring in October with 10 goals and 11 assists for 21 points in 14 games. The Litvinov, Czech native was named one of the game's stars six times last month. He scored two game-winning goals in October and recorded three points on four different occasions. Petruzalek, who was drafted by the New York Rangers last June, is leading all OHL rookies with 24 points in 14 games this season.

Barre Campbell from SLAM! Sports has a nice piece about Petruzalek here.

Petruzalek has definitely been the most explosive player for the 67s. He works hard every shift, whizzing around the ice. He may be a little too explosive at times . . . he's had a few 'hitting from behind' penalties.

At times he reminds me a little of Zenon Konopka, who played every shift 110%. These players are so fun to watch. You can feel their energy, they create excitement. I had hoped that this energy would inspire the other players on the team, but maybe it's not something you can learn - you either have it or you don't.
