The 18-year-old from Mississauga, ON, is playing in his third career OHL season and is currently tied for second in league scoring with 34 points in 16 games including nine goals and 25 assists. Selected third overall by the Coyotes in the 2015 NHL Draft, Strome was co-recipient of the CHL's Top Scorer Award in 2014-15 with an Otters' record 129 points in 68 games. Strome also represented Team OHL in the 2015 CHL Canada Russia Series last week in Owen Sound scoring a goal and an assist in the OHL's 3-0 victory.
