Observations

October 2024 – Mynio has had a great start to the 2024-25 season. After a strong 2023-24 campaign in which he blossomed offensively with 53 points, Mynio has continued his strong two-way play. He has nine points in just the first six games and is the catalyst for Seattle’s offence. His smooth skating ability is as apparent as ever, but his ability to read when to jump in the rush stands out. He knows when to get involved offensively but is knowledgeable and quick enough to stop attacking players. He has been prone to some careless play with the puck, as he is not necessarily known for his elite playmaking. There’s still a lot of season left, so we’ll see how Mynio continues to develop. Nick Orr 

June 2023 – Mynio, a left-shot defender, was drafted 89th overall by the Vancouver Canucks. As a top-four defenceman with the Seattle Thunderbirds (WHL), the Kamloops native showcased strong skating ability, allowing him to excel both defensively and offensively. His proficiency on the ice stems from his quick footwork and astute decision-making, enabling him to effectively halt opponents’ advances and create scoring opportunities from the rush.  Even so, it is worth noting that he is not considered an exceptionally creative player when it comes to puck-handling. While he can make offensive plays, his style leans more towards utilizing his skating abilities to generate, rather than relying on intricate moves or exceptional play making skills. Overall, a bottom-pairing defender is likely the ceiling here – possibly second -, but should be considered strong organizational depth at the moment. Check back next year before drafting. Dave Hall
