Vancouver Canucks’ goaltending prospect helped lead Ottawa to a sweep of Hamilton in the first round of the OHL playoffs
TORONTO — Between a mid-season trade, heartbreak at the world junior championship and a disappointing NHL debut with the Vancouver Canucks, Mikey DiPietro hasn’t had many reasons to smile this season.
“Everything is coming together at the right time. Season’s been broken up quite a few times this year, because of travel, trade, world juniors, time with Canucks, right there, there’s probably 10 to 12 starts I missed. It gets you out of your routine but I feel great about my game, how I’m reading the play.”
“I think I had a week to get everything done before leaving for world junior camp, and it seemed there was one thing after another that inhibited me to properly settle in and get in my routine,” said DiPietro. “It’s been a year of adversity for myself; I feel I’ve lost a lot, at the world juniors the way we did. For me it was a year I really learned a lot about myself, what I can work on and improve on, but also what I like about myself too.”
