John Tavares # 91

He is a Canadian major junior ice hockey centre currently playing for the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL). Tavares broke into the OHL after gaining "exceptional player" status at the age of 14, allowing the Oshawa Generals to select him in the OHL Priority Draft as an underage player in 2005. Tavares was named the Canadian Hockey League (CHL) Rookie of the Year in 2006 and CHL Player of the Year in 2007, a year in which he broke Wayne Gretzky's OHL record for goals in a season by a 16-year old with 72. In 2009, he set a new OHL record for career goals as he finished the season with 215, two more than former record holder Peter Lee.
