Toronto Maple Leafs prospect Easton Cowan was awarded the Red Tilson Trophy as the OHL's most outstanding player on Thursday.
The London Knights forward finished with 34 goals, 62 assists and 96 points in 54 games in his sophomore season. Cowan also had the league’s second-highest production rate of 1.78 points per game.
Cowan established a Knights franchise record with a 36-game point streak that spanned from Nov. 25 through the final game of the regular season, which he also carried into the playoffs, where it ended at 42 games.
It was also the longest point streak in the OHL since 1995. He also helped the Knights capture a Hamilton Spectator Trophy as the OHL’s first-place team during the regular season, along with a fifth straight Midwest Division title.
The Leafs picked Cowan late in the first round (28th overall) of the 2023 NHL Draft.
