There are many things that make Misa a special player on the ice, but his humility off of it sets him apart from others in the spotlight.
And he knew right away that Misa was different.players because they’re just that much different, they’re that much better amongst good players already. And he had that already as an underager, you could just tell like ‘This guy’s going to do something special here.’ You can see it, you can feel it,” Lazary said. “And he would hate me saying that. He would hate me talking about him in that light because that’s not Michael. He hates the accolades and the conversations about him.
That belief, and Misa’s exceptional status, were then cemented at the 2022 OHL Cup when he broke McDavid’s tournament scoring record with 20 points in eight games to win MVP and lead theto the title — all after they’d lost in the GTHL playoffs and had to win a play-in game just to get into the event.
Once they got the No. 1 pick, Drinkill immediately set up a meeting with Hornick and the Misa family to make sure they were OK with coming to Saginaw.“I’d heard such good things about the family and the person himself but until you actually meet him and get to know him and his family a little bit and how he was raised, he’s so humble, he’s such a pleasant young man to be around, and he’s such a likeable kid,” Drinkill said. “He’s just such a good human being. It’s really, truly a special thing.
Drinkill and Lazary were both also caught off guard by that competitiveness they’d identified in minor hockey. When Misa looks back on what he was feeling a year ago as he began his first training camp in Saginaw, he says there were nerves, although advice from McDavid and others helped. “Luke’s the closest person I have. It’s huge to have an older brother who plays in the OHL,” Michael said.
If not for the injury, Drinkill thinks Michael would have broken Tavares’ exceptional status year scoring record of 77 points. Playing in the OHL as an underager didn’t just come with the adversity of the injury, either. In the OHL playoffs, difficult matchups against a veteran Sting team that included big, physical defencemen like“It’s tough for a guy who has just turned 16 to handle that. But went through it and had periods where it was difficult in terms of attention from other teams,” Gagner said. “But he knows teams are setting up things to stop him and he’s going to have to adjust his game.
