At just 16 years old Michael Misa is already making headlines in his young career. Being the 6th OHL player ever to be granted exceptional status will naturally draw comparisons to the other 5 that entered the OHL a year early through the exceptional status tag: Connor McDavid, Shane Wright, Jon Taveras, Sean Day, and Aaron Ekblad, the hype hasn’t stopped Misa so far. By being the first overall selection in the OHL Priority Selection Misa became the 2022 recipient of the Jack Ferguson Award.  Prior to being selected first overall by the Saginaw Spirit Misa finished his time with his previous organization the Mississauga Senators by breaking Connor McDavid’s OHL Cup scoring record with 20 points in seven games. He also became the first player in OHL Cup history to score a hat trick in the championship final. Playing with his new organization the Saginaw Spirit Misa hasn’t slowed down placing second on the team with goals (22) and points (56) in his first season in helping lift the Spirit to a playoff spot.
