Nicholas Baptiste's Player Profile
Nicholas Baptiste has become a veritable power forward in the OHL and, even though his statistics may not be completely reflective of just how talented a player he truly is, he is on the verge of breaking out into becoming a sheer force in the league. He has incredible skating ability and he is quite adept at playing physically when the need presents itself. He has great authority and leadership on a young Sudbury Wolves team and he has learned a lot from the likes of Michael Sgarbossa, Michael Kantor and others over the course of his short major junior career. Baptiste has some finesse to his game as well as significant pugnacity that makes him very hard to play against. With no Sudbury Wolves chosen in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft, it is up to Baptiste and several of his teammates to change that in 2013 and show just how dominant that organization truly is. He is a powerful winger who will just get better as his career goes along and he is expected to be a great force for the Wolves in the coming few years as he returns a veteran on the team. The Ottawa native will be counted upon in many more situations, including special teams, to help Sudbury regain the glory they have demonstrated in recent years.Submitted by: Margann Laurissa - May 28th 2013
