We’re running out of ways to convey how exciting the Calgary Flames’ current crop of prospects are. The fact of the matter is that it’s been decades since Calgary has had this much talent at the junior level. Inevitably, some stellar performers will go underappreciated due to the vast number of intriguing young players that the Flames currently own, one of those players is Henry Mews.

Mews, the Flames’ third-round selection at the 2024 NHL Draft, joins a club of outstanding prospects that have been outshone by the near unprecedented success of Zayne Parekh. While Parekh chases Ontario Hockey League infamy, Mews continues to string together a historic season of his own in the OHL.

The 6-foot-1 Ottawa-born defenceman began the 2024-25 season playing for his hometown 67’s but was traded to the Sudbury Wolves at the OHL’s trade deadline for a whopping eight draft picks. Mews’ 38 games with Ottawa saw him amass 50 points, he’s since registered 30 more in 25 contests with the Wolves, putting him at 80 total points this season in 63 total games.

Mews’ change of scenery may have required some adjusting as his points-per-game came down from 1.31 to 1.20, however, he has still contributed offensively at a silly pace for a defenceman despite being uprooted halfway through the season. Regardless, his 80 points have given him a top-50 all-time scoring season by an OHL defenceman. Mews has already surpassed Flames legend Al MacInnis’ 75 points in his 19-year-old OHL season, and his four points in Tuesday’s game against Brampton saw him overtake PK Subban and John Carlson’s point totals in their aged 19 seasons.
