Ethan Girard is an interesting player to keep an eye on leading up into the 2021 OHL Priority Selection Draft. Girard is a defenceman who can also play forward when called upon. Over the course of the extended offseason, Girard has slotted in on the wing during the Elite Hockey Events Showcase this fall. Girard is not the type of player to light up the scoresheet every game but he is the kind of player that you want on your team. He is reliable at both ends of the ice and does a good job pressuring the opposition. Girard is one of those plays who is always moving. His motor always seems to be running, working hard to take away passing lanes and make sure he is always in the right position. On the ice you notice that Girard is always looking around to make sure he knows where everyone is and that he is in the best possible position.
Ethan Girard is the type of player who does all the little things that coaches like and he can be used in a variety of situations. He is effective on special teams units as a result of his high defensive awareness and IQ.
