Youngstown Phantom star William Whitelaw talks about his chances for the 2023 NHL Draft

Game Tape with Tony is an interview series with NHL draft prospects with host Tony Ferrari. Combining a laid-back interview with breaking down game tape with the prospects, Game Tape has become an excellent way to get a peek into the mindset of players as they look to take the next step in their hockey careers.

On this episode of Game Tape, Tony sits down with William Whitelaw of the Youngstown Phantoms in the USHL. The duo discuss Whitelaw’s upbringing and how he wasn’t a fan of hockey when he first tried it, growing up with fellow draft-eligible prospect and future University of Wisconsin teammate Charlie Stramel, and so much more.

The two break down some video, examining Whitelaw’s game and showcasing what the forward does well. They finish off the interview with some talk about music, movies, food, and more.
