Despite having his season ruined by a broken collarbone, Spooner established himself as a nice late first-round or early second-round pick.

A strong performance in the CHL Prospects Game was likely the highlight of his second season with the OHL's Peterborough Petes. Spooner scored the game-winning goal in that game, and he had a chance to play in different situations and show off his potential as an all-around forward.

Spooner scored 54 points in 47 regular-season games before suffering his injury. In the prospects game, he showed that he has the ability to be a strong two-way player with playmaking skills.

Spooner isn't very big, but he has good hockey sense, works hard, and has good vision in the offensive zone. He makes the kind of passes that can't be taught, and he's capable of setting up any team's top scorers.

He's past the injury, too. Spooner played in the Petes' final three playoff games, and though it marked the end of the season, Spooner should be a huge factor for Peterborough in 2010-11. If he continues to develop, he could have a shot at Canada's 2011 World Junior team.
