Has anyone seen this kid play?

Similar to his brother or different?

Watching Kyle develop has been a pleasure - hope Shawn has similar promise.

I can't help you with that, all I know is what we've been able to dig up on the internet. His stats appear to be similar to his brother's first season in the BCHL. He's attended the same camps and came up via Calgary bantam system. Shawn filled in well for Camrose when Colborne and Connolly when they were at the Junior Tournament.

I would expect that by the end of next season he will be considered to be one of the top two or three college hockey prospects coming out of Alberta.

I'll take two Ostrow's any day and it looks like another great recruit for the DU coaching staff.
