Last year, a very young Ottawa 67’s squad secured a playoff spot in the OHL’s Eastern Conference, giving a Top 3 team from North Bay a respectable fight despite an opening round sweep. This year, a lot of similar faces are back in the picture, eager to turn a score-by-committee hockey club into a post-season threat. And with a lot of weapons in the East Division beginning their professional careers, the door for a Top 5 seed in the Eastern Conference might be available for Ottawa to claim. Technical producer Stephen Ellsworth describes this year’s cast of characters.
