Oliver Bonk, the 18-year-old hockey player, had a busy July. He was selected 22nd overall by the Philadelphia Flyers in the NHL Draft, thanks to the pick acquired in the Ivan Provorov trade.

He also appeared on a behind-the-scenes episode of a TV show on ESPN+ that covered the draft.
Oliver Bonk, drafted 22nd overall by the Philadelphia Flyers, will be heading back to #GoKnightsGo for another year. At 18-years-old he can use the time to hone in on his 2-way abilities, well also improving more all-around.

After the draft, the players attended development camps. Once it ended, many players returned to their homes, colleges, or junior teams to train and improve their skills.
Oliver Bonk decided to go back to the London Knights of the OHL to continue growing his two-way playing capabilities and become a better all-around player.
It makes sense for Bonk to focus on becoming a well-rounded player, given the current team's focus on this type of player.
Danny Briere and John Tortorella value players who can excel in multiple areas of the game.
While Bonk may have a chance to make the team in the future, it looks like it won't happen this year.is year.
