• Tverberg scored a goal to help Team Devin Shore win the Prospects Game during the OJHL All-Star Celebration in Oakville Nov. 30.

• He has remained on NHL Central Scouting’s Watch List throughout the first half of the season in anticipation of the June draft in Montreal.

• Tverberg was a member of Team Canada East, which won silver medals at the World Jr. A Challenge in British Columbia Dec. 15.

• He was selected to play in next month’s CJHL Prospects Game in Hamilton Jan. 14.

Now 17, he was a 12th-round pick of the Hamilton Bulldogs in the 2018 Ontario Hockey League draft.
