Aaron could very well be the 1st overall pick in this year's draft.  He had 53 points this season as a defenceman with the Colts in the OHL and added another 6 points in 9 playoff games.  He is big and quick and plays alot like Drew Doughty of the LA Kings.  This kid is going to be one to watch.  He is also one of a few players to get exceptional status and enter the OHL draft early.

Mark made the Winnipeg Jets out of training camp last year, however they decided to not burn 1 year of his entry level contract, and send him back to the Colts after 7 games.  He has made the team out of camp this year as well, but they do have a 5 game limit before they either have to commit to him, or send him back to the OHL again.  He played in the World Junior Championships for Canada and had 6 points in 6 games.  He also had 49 points in 30 games in the OHL before the lockout ended and the Jets recalled him.

I went to the Toronto Sportscard and Memorabilia Fall Expo and Aaron Ekblad was doing a signing at the In The Game area.  It was free, or you could buy one of these oversized cards for $5.  He was the OHL rookie of the year last year, and is the only defenceman to ever received exceptional status with permission to play in the OHL and enter the draft at age 15.  He won't be draft eligible until 2014.  He has 18 points in 26 games this season with the Barrie Colts.  Look out for this kid to be a high draft pick in 2014.

I mailed these cards to Alex c/o the Barrie Colts before I knew he was going to be at the all-star game.  I sent them on 01/11/2010 and received them back on 02/19/2010.  39 days.  This kid is going to be great in the NHL next year.
