In the spring of 2022 Michael Misa was granted “exceptional status” by the OHL, as such he became only the 6th OHL player ever to be granted “exceptional status” which the league gives to only a select few of players allowing the player to enter the OHL a year early. Misa’s first season in the OHL and with the Saginaw Spirit has been a success, his 14 points through the teams’ first 10 games has outpaced both Connor McDavid and Shane Wright through the same amount of games in their OHL careers. His 22 goals and 56 total points in his first season with the Spirit both rank second on the team. Misa has been able to accomplish all of this in his first season in the OHL at just 16 years old.
