It looks like Daniel Cleary might be winning his first Stanley Cup tonight. When I think of Daniel Cleary, I think of the 15 year old kid from Carbonear, Newfoundland who played with my cousin Mark Gowan on the Belleville Bulls in the OHL.
While I watch and root for a Pittsburgh comeback, I started poking around Mark Gowan's profile at hockeydb.com to see which of his former OHL teammates have made the biggest impact in the NHL.
Here are the top five.
- Steve Staios
- Daniel Cleary
- Richard Park
- Sean Brown
- Jamie Rivers
