The league-leading Ottawa 67’s brought in overage forwards in Kyle Maksimovich from the Erie Otters and Lucas Chiodo from the Barrie Colts after a major deal with the Windsor Spitfires that brought in goaltender Michael DiPietro .
In the OHL’s Western Conference final, the Saginaw Spirit brought in high-scoring forwards Owen Tippett and Ryan McLeod from the Mississauga Steelheads after both waived no-trade clauses.“People look at our franchise and say, ‘They’re for real,’” he said. “They’re unbelievable kids. The way they interact with their teammates, the leadership they provide, how they’ve fit into a group that was already tight and made us tighter, it’s been cool to watch as a coach.
Forward Antoine Morand played a key offensive role for the Acadie-Bathurst Titan in last year’s championship win in Regina.Halifax coach Erie Veilleux said Morand is someone who can step up in critical situations like in Game 4 of the second round against Moncton, when he played a good third period to shut the series down. Veilleux added Morand is a good two-way player who is reliable offensively and defensively.
“He doesn’t mind the physical game either. He’s improved his play away from the puck quite a bit this year. I even have him killing penalties right now. He does it all for us.”
