One of the hardest workers you’ll find in the ETA, Thomas Kuipers is the ultimate team player. Kuipers is one of those players that many would say is extremely coachable, making him someone any team would want to snag, as thanks to his hard working nature, you’re almost guaranteed to get someone that will give it his all night in and night out. Kuipers has come a long way with his offensive game, and thanks to his good all around instincts, he has been able to step onto the teams penalty killing and power play units, proving that he is a player that can be called upon in any scenario. Everything combined has helped Kuipers become an over a point per game player, though he rings up more penalties than most due to his high physicality. With the 2022 OHL draft fast approaching, expect to see Kuipers floating around the middle rounds, where he could be a solid pickup for an OHL team. Overall, Kuipers may be a couple seasons away, but he could step in as a hard hitting winger that can provide help on both ends of the ice. Definitely keep an eye on Kuipers, as he could be one of the newest members of your OHL team very soon.
