Exclusive | Michael Misa has never shied away from a goal — and the NHL is next on his list

BUFFALO — There’s a two-minute stretch of hockey from when Michael Misa was 11 years old.

It’s burned into the memory of everyone who saw it. 

Misa’s team, the Mississauga Steelheads, was defending a five-on-three against the Ottawa Jr. 67’s toward the end of a game they were leading.

Nathan Villeneuve, Ottawa’s best player who would later go two picks after Misa in the OHL draft, kept loading up slap shots.
