Celebrating Excellence Across the OHL

Twelve of the league’s franchises earned representation, with the Barrie Colts, Brantford Bulldogs and Kitchener Rangers each placing five players and coaches on the lists, underscoring their depth and consistency.

The Soo Greyhounds and Windsor Spitfires also featured prominently, while individual accolades highlighted standout performances: Sam O'Reilly of the Kitchener Rangers was named Most Outstanding Player, Nikita Klepov of the Saginaw Spirit earned Rookie of the Year, Dave Cameron of the Ottawa 67's captured Coach of the Year, Kashawn Aitcheson of the Barrie Colts was selected Defenceman of the Year, and Ryder Fetterolf of the Ottawa 67's was voted Goaltender of the Year.

A historic milestone emerged as the Ottawa 67's supplied both the First Team All‑Star goaltender and the head coach for the first time in three decades, a testament to the club’s sustained excellence.

The recognition also celebrated repeat honorees and streaks of achievement: Liam Greentree of the Windsor Spitfires earned All‑Star status for a fourth consecutive season, Carter George of the Soo Greyhounds made the All‑Star team for a third straight year, and Ben Hrebik became the first Barrie Colts goaltender since 2015‑16 to receive an All‑Star nod.

League officials praised the breadth of talent on display, noting that the selections reflect both emerging prospects and veteran leaders who will shape the next chapter of junior hockey.
