Celts' Profile: Meet Tyren Boots

The whole point of this section of our website might serve a guy like Tyren Boots best. In 2016, fans did not get to see Boots even half enough. During an exhibition game in training camp with the OLA Jr. B loops' Akwesasne Indians, Boots was on the giving end of a hit that caused incidental injury, though not on purpose. Regardless, because of OLA stipulation, Boots received a 10-game suspension to serve with Cornwall. In a season that carries only 16-games, Boots was only able to suit up for 6.

Coming into 2017, the Celtic's will hope to see the return of a full season to Boots credentials. Hailing from the Akwesasne Island, a defensive star in his own right, his athletic prowess goes pretty well unmatched. As a penalty killer, defensive leader, face off team standout and loose ball vacuum, Boots has shown to be a cornerstone type player for the Celts'.

In his off season, Boots holds down a center role for the Char-Lan Rebels Junior Hockey club where he displays similar traits of leadership and all-out hustle.

In 2016, Boots registered 8 total games (including playoffs) played, scoring 3 assists, and racking up 36 penalty minutes, aside from the infamous suspension. While the stat is not taken by the league for exact amount of loose balls, anyone that watched a Celtic's game last year would have seen Boots on the receiving end of about 90% of teammate Brendan Vipond's face-offs- a big reason for the Celts' outstanding face-off stats amongst the league.
