Profile Contributed By: HF Staff
History
One of the only recent Ottawa-area players to be drafted in the first round of the OHL Priority Draft, Lalonde joined the Belleville Bulls' blueline in the fall of 2006. The top rookie scorer on the team during the 2006-07 season, Lalonde posted 26 points (6 goals, 20 assists) in 58 regular season games during his freshman OHL campaign. He was then chosen to represent Canada in the U-18 2007 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament.
2007-08: Lalonde's regular season statistics remained fairly stable from his rookie year, recording 31 points in 66 games, however, he was much of a force in the playoffs than he was last year. In the Bulls 21 playoff games, Lalonde posted nine points (2 goals, 7 assists). Lalonde ranked fourth among blueliners in scoring at this year's Memorial Cup, registering 3 assists in 4 games.
Talent Analysis
Lalonde is a mobile defenseman who has the ability to jump into the rush when required. Though he displays good instincts on the ice, Lalonde needs to improve his defensive play and make better decisions at times. He also needs to improve his strength and play consistently for the entire game.
Future
Lalonde will need further development before joining the professional ranks so look for him to rejoin the Belleville Bulls (OHL) during the 2008-09 season.
