Today I decided to feature a former OHL player from the
Oshawa Generals,
Jason Sweitzer, who retired after going undrafted. His statistics weren't bad at all, but he produced a lot less than his team's star player,
Marc Savard:

You'll notice the Generals made it to the Memorial Cup Final, which they lost to a
Hull Olympiques team that was coached by
Claude Julien and included the likes of
Martin Biron (as
Christian Bronsard's backup!),
Francis Bélanger,
Jonathan Delisle,
Matthieu Descoteaux,
Christian Dubé,
Mario Larocque,
Donald MacLean,
Pavel Rosa,
Colin White, and
Peter Worrell.
And, well, that's it. He didn't get drafted, he didn't pursue a career in Europe nor was he a career minor-leaguer. He just became an adult.
Here he is sporting the Generals' alternate (blue) uniform, on a signed insert card from
The Score Board's
1997-98 The Score Board collection, which I got in a re-pack box:
He signed it on-card in thin blue sharpie.
