Tyson Hinds

August 2023 – Hinds had a strong season with the dominant Sherbrooke Phoenix in the QMJHL this past year. He set career highs in every offensive category and posted an unbelievable +61 rating through 56 games. However, he was certainly a beneficiary of the other star players on his team. Hinds was a point-per-game defenseman, he still finished ninth in points on the Phoenix. Hinds is a big defenseman who can contribute at both ends of the ice. He scored two goals in seven games during the World Junior Championships, helping Team Canada win the gold medal. Naftali Clinton

December 2022 – Hinds was a third round pick in the 2021 Entry Draft. The Ducks brass liked him so much they moved a future third rounder to select him. Usually when teams do that, they are high on that player. So far, that gamble has paid off. Just a year and a half later, Hinds has been selected to play for Team Canada at the 2023 World Junior Championship. He is a big defenseman who can contribute at both ends of the ice. With Anaheim’s history of developing defensemen, Hinds could be another mid-round gem found by the Ducks scouting staff. Lucy Main
