Selecting third overall, it's safe to say the Soo Greyhounds have high hopes for newly-drafted forward Brady Martin
The hope was to get pure goal scorers with their early picks and Soo Greyhounds general manager Kyle Raftis is hopeful that the outcome from the opening rounds of the Ontario Hockey League draft will provide them with just that.
“It’s those off-ice intangibles why he’s the captain of that team,” Raftis said. “He just brings players on his team along with him. When you have an elite player like that that has all of those tools on the ice and off the ice, it’s a no-brainer.” “When you’re trying to separate guys in terms of projecting them and what they’re going to be, you always want to bet on the high skill, high compete and that work ethic on top of it,” Raftis said.
“He is a very strong skater with good separation speed. He has elite puck skills and offensive creativity that he uses to make everyone on the ice around him better. He is both a playmaker and goal-scorer and is always dangerous when he has the puck on his stick. He is a fierce competitor that will do anything it takes to score a goal or win a game; he is physical when he needs to be and does not lose many puck battles.
The Greyhounds general manager added that Hayes is “kind of a mix of his two brothers” who are also OHL players.
