Godick’s start to the year for the Dukes has been very strong, netting five points in his first ten games with the OJHL club.
The Thunder Bay native was selected by the Kingston Frontenacs 47th overall in the OHL Priority Selection earlier this year.
Laurin, meantime, was selected 18th overall by the Ottawa 67s.
He dominated with the QRD U16 program last season, averaging close to 1.5 points a game.
Laurin is on pace to getting more than 40 points this season in the OHL.
