#1 Oliver Bonk

Oliver Bonk is another defenseman. He plays for the London Knights of the OHL. He recorded 40 points in 67 games with 10 goals and 30 assists last season.

Elite Prospects said:

"A prototypical shutdown defenceman, Bonk safeguards his team by backtracking ahead of offensive turnovers, blocks access to the defensive zone, forces opponents to dump the puck around him, and then seals the puck from them on the back wall. He pushes attackers wide in the defensive zone and scans the ice behind him to stop backdoor plays."
