19-year old Winnipeg Jets‘ 1st round pick in the 2011 draft (#7 overall) center Mark Schiefele(42) initially started his pro career last season but was returned to his junior club Barrie Colts after 7 games. In the brief stint, he did manage to pot his first NHL goal.
After the end of the season OHL season for his team, he joined AHL affiliate St. John’s IceCaps for their deep bid at the Calder Cup. That bid ended at the Eastern Conference Finals.
In 10 postseason match-ups he had one helper to add to his pro scoring stats.
Starting the 2012/2013 campaign, he continued his development in juniors, where he is a more than a point per game player.
As soon as the lockout ended, the 6’2″ 184 lbs. forward was ushered to Jets‘ shortened training camp and once again impressed enough to be on the opening night roster with the big club.
In two games he has yet to reach the scoresheet but will likely stick at this level or be reassigned to help the slumping IceCaps.
