Trophy Showcase

Josh Wesley, former Carolina Junior Hurricane and current OHL Plymouth Whalers defenseman, is participating in the NHL Scouting Combine running from May 26 through 31.

The primary purpose of the Combine is to aid all NHL teams in the player selection process. NHL Central Scouting invited 119 players from North America and Europe.

Josh, No. 111 on Central Scouting's final list of the top draft-eligible North American skaters, had two goals, nine points and 62 penalty minutes with Plymouth this past season. The prior season he played with the United States National Team Development Program Under-17 team.

Josh was a member of the Junior Hurricanes 2010-2011 Bantam AAA and 2011-2012 Midget 16U AAA teams.
