Pridham’s father, Brandon, works in the front office of the Toronto Maple Leafs as their cap czar. He’ll spend one more season in the BCHL before heading to Boston University, where the Blackhawks currently have center Ryan Greene.

From Elite Prospects: “Pridham is a nuanced north-to-south attacker who leverages speed, edge work, and a high-end motor to create advantages. On-puck, Pridham ramps up proactively, pushes defenders on their heels, blends delay elements opening up lanes to attack inside, and executed quick, but simple tap-by handles to slip pressure off the entry.”
From Dobber Prospects: “Smart power forward with a sound base of habits and tools. Lack of standout offensive trait limits his upside, but could become a bottom-six checker.“
