Chicago Blackhawks Prospect Ryan Roobroeck Named OHL Player Of The Month

Guelph Storm forward Ryan Roobroeck has been named as the Ontario Hockey League's Player of the Month for October.

Roobroeck, a prospect of the Chicago Blackhawks, had a dominant October with 14 goals and 22 points in 13 games for Guelph this past month.

Drafted 35th overall by the Blackhawks in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft, Roobroeck has been dominating for the Storm after struggling with consistency last season with the Niagara IceDogs that dropped him from a potential first-rounder down to early in round two.

The Memorial Cup host Guelph Storm have a league leading 24 points with a 12-3-0 record on the season. Roobroeck is tied with Evgeny Dubrovtsev for the OHL scoring lead with 14.

Saginaw Spirit teammates Dima Zhilkin and Braidy Wassilyn were considered for the award after both had 12 goals, 13 assists, & 25 points in 16 games, with Erie Otters forward Michael Dec was also considered with 23 points in 16 games.

New York Islanders prospect Vladimir Dravecky, a fifth round pick in 2026, was named the OHL's Defenseman of the Year, leading all defenders in points with 20 in 13 games with Guelph this season.

Sudbury Wolves goaltender Paolo Frasca was named Goaltender of the Month with a 9-1-0 record with a 1.98GAA and a .939 SV%. The Yale commit is in his second OHL season, having split last season between Sudbury and the BCHL.

Windsor Spitfires forward Bogdan Yakushevsky, a 2027 NHL Draft eligible, was named the OHL's Rookie of the Month, the Russian having 10 goals, 11 assists, & 21 points in 16 games this season, leading the Spitfires in points.
