Tyler Seguin’s early hockey career

The Plymouth Whalers picked Tyler Seguin in the first round with the 9th overall pick of the 2008 OHL Priority Selection draft. Despite having originally intended to enroll in college, he joined the Whalers. Tyler Seguin started his rookie campaign on the fourth line and managed just one goal in the first 17 games.

Seguin's play improved when coach Mike Vellucci took over and placed him on the top two lines, and he finished the season with 67 points in 61 games. The following year, 2009–10, was Seguin's breakout campaign. He led the league with 14 goals and 25 points in the first 10 games, including a hat-trick against the London Knights.

Seguin, the talented hockey center, won the Red Tilson Trophy for the most outstanding player in the OHL. At the end of the season, he stood strong with an impressive 106 points in 63 games. Seguin became the first Plymouth Whalers player to do so since David Legwand in 1998. He shared the Eddie Powers Memorial Trophy—awarded to the OHL player with the most goals—that year with Taylor Hall of the Windsor Spitfires.
