Ontario Nationals Scout Day: Statistical Analysis


Cam Black-Araujo
Lead Scout, PBR Canada

On Sunday, September 25th, the PBR Ontario staff headed west for the Ontario Nationals Scout Day. Although the weather didn't cooperate, we took things indoors to Blue Chip Sports Training in Kitchener to get a look at 85+ players from the organization. 

The morning showcase gave our staff a look at the older age groups (16-18U) with some good looking unsigned seniors, as well as some 2024 and 2025s to keep an eye these next couple years. The afternoon gave us a look into the future of the program and the young players didn't disappoint. 

Below, our post-event coverage concludes as we take a look at the top defensive metrics, as well as athletic testing scores.
