Toronto Maple Leafs Select Ty Voit

After not being able to make any deals to acquire additional draft picks, Toronto had to wait until round five to make their next selection.

With the 153rd overall pick in the 2021 NHL entry draft, the Toronto Maple Leafs selected forward Ty Voit. He is a flashy right winger who is a pest for defenders and goaltenders alike.

Like many other players from the Ontario Hockey League (OHL), Voit was unable to play during the 2020-21 season. The OHL was shutdown due to restrictions by the provincial government during the covid-19 pandemic.

The last season for checking his stats was the 2019-20 season. During that season with the Sarnia Sting, he recorded eight goals and 20 assists for 28 points in 49 games. Although he did not play in the OHL during the 2020-21 season, he did enter into the PBHH Invitational Tournament which was held in Erie, Pennsylvania. In his 10 games at the tournament, Voit recorded three goals and six assists.

The Pennsylvania native is listed as being 5’10 and 161 lbs, but don’t let his size fool you. He is a great skater and an excellent passer. He drives defenders towards him, then he will do a quick turn around and send a nice pass to an open teammate.

He is also not afraid to be a presence in front of the net. He has the hand/eye coordination to tip pucks past the opposing goaltender.

Voit is currently projected to be a third liner, but has the tool to develop into a top six forward. He will very likely return to the OHL for the 2021-22 season.
