CALEDONIA – Brandon Lindberg has two games left in the regular season but has already broken the 100 point mark leading the Caledonia Pro-Fit Corvairs and the league in scoring with 105 points by way of 40 goals and 55 assists in 42 games played to date.
Born in Waterloo, Lindberg came to the Corvairs early this season by way of Saginaw and Sarnia of the OLA. He was selected in the fifth round (87th overall) by the Saginaw Spirit in 2012 OHL Priority Draft, and is a leader in the dressing room and on the ice.
At age 21, this will be his last year of Jr. and he is making the best of it.
Not far behind with 88 points in 39 games played so far, is Adam Craievich. The 20-year-old Sarnia native brings his six-foot-one-inch tall frame, accurate shot and playmaking skills set him very high on the scouts list as well.
After making history last season with their third consecutive Sutherland Cup, coach Mike Bullard and general manager Brian Rezzeto had to begin this season with pretty well a whole new deck of cards after several of last years winners are now overage.
As they say, success breads success and so attracting some of the top Jr. players in the province gets easier with a proven commodity like the Corvairs. But you still have to bring all this talent together, build a bond and chemistry as well as a competitive on-ice product. This has been the cornerstone of the Pro-Fit Corvairs success to date looking back to their former days as the Brantford Golden Eagles, which produced Anaheim Ducks defensemen Brandon Montour and others.
