Lardis is joining 14 other Ontario Hockey League players selected to the event.
The second-year forward has scored 12 goals through 30 games this year. Lardis’s play has him recognized with a “B” rating in the NHL Central Scouting 22-23 Preliminary Players to Watch List on Oct. 25, which indicates he could be a potential second to third-round selection in the upcoming NHL Draft. The 2023 NHL Draft will take place at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn. from June 28-29.
The Oakville-born player was originally selected by the Petes sixth overall in the 2021 OHL Priority Selection.
