Hodkinson has led the GOHL in scoring all season. He’s in his fourth year with his hometown Lincolns and has helped them to a 14-1 start.

In October, Hodkinson had nine goals and 15 assists for 24 points in just nine games. Do the math. That’s 2.67 points per game.

His season numbers show how consistent he’s been. Hodkinson has 38 points in 15 games, just under his October pace, and he’s on track to become one of only a handful of players to top 100 points in a GOHL season.

He also set a St. Marys franchise record for career assists with his 114th, and he has two five-point games this season.

The Lincolns look bent on getting back to where they were at the end of 2025-26, and then going one step further. St. Marys made it to the Sutherland Cup final last spring but fell in five games to the Cambridge Hawks.

Samek had eight goals and 10 assists in 10 games in October.

The 16-year-old had three assists in three separate games and scored the game-winner in the final minute of a 4-3 win over the Komoka Kings on Oct. 28. It was one of his two game-winning goals for the month.

The Etobicoke, Ont., native was a second-round pick of the Knights in 2026.

Snyder, a Brantford Bulldogs draft pick, went a perfect 8-0-0-0 in October with a .940 save percentage and a 2.40 goals-against average.

The 19-year-old leads the GOHL in minutes played. He was huge in a 5-4 overtime win over the defending Sutherland Cup champion Cambridge Hawks on Oct. 21.
