Observations:

May, 2012 - Gormley was simply fantastic for the Shawinigan Cataractes during the 2012 Mastercard Memorial Cup. He was very efficient as a heads up player makign crisp outlet passes as well as getting hard accurate shots to the net.  Gormley finished third in tournament scoring and first in defensive scoring with three goals and nine points in six games.  He was named to the Memorial Cup All-Star team and it looks as though the Coyotes' have another defensive gem on their hands here.

March, 2012 – Brandon Gormley is one the best defenseman in the QMJHL. He has elite skills and controls the game with his calming presence. He represented Canada at the World Junior Championship and led the tournament in points by a defenseman and was named top defenseman of the tournament. The 20-year-old was recently traded from Moncton to the Memorial Cup hosting Shawinigan Cataractes. Although he has been out since early February with a foot injury, he’s expected to return and play a pivotal role in the playoffs. The depth of the Phoenix Coyotes might be the only thing that slows this guy down. Top two potential but probably a couple years away from having an impact.

Fantasy Outlook: A

High upside. Phoenix will take their time with him and let him grow slowly.
