3. FINLAY THOMSON – BEST POWERPLAY SEASON EVER?
Ok, maybe not best ever, but best in a long time. Finlay Thomson of Mimico recently passed 100 points on the season. With three games to play, Finlay has a chance to put himself among some of the more elite seasons in recent memory, alongside guys with names like Teat, Staats, Gibson, and O’Connor. What most fans may not realize, is that the season Thomson has had on the powerplay is nearing historic levels.

Going back to 2012, the highest number of powerplay goals in a season is 15. Austin Shanks did it in 2015 and Ryan Smith in 2017. The highest number of powerplay assists was Reilly O’Connor with 28 in 2014. Jeff Teat’s best season was 23 assists on the man advantage. Burlington’s Jason Knox had 26 back in 2017. Thomson currently has 24 goals, and 21 assists on the powerplay. He has beaten the closest goals season by nine goals already, and has a chance to have the recent high water assist mark. If Thomson only played powerplay, his 45 points would still rank him in the top 30 in league scoring. Unsurprisingly, Mimico’s powerplay has been the best in the league. Their 67 goals are 17 more than the closest competition.
