Barrie Colts to Face Kitchener Rangers in OHL Championships

Ben Hrebik stopped 40 shots as Barrie earned its fifth OHL final berth and first since 2013.

  • On Monday night, the Barrie Colts defeated the Brantford Bulldogs 5-0 in Game 7 to clinch the Bobby Orr Trophy as Eastern Conference champions, advancing to the OHL final against the Kitchener Rangers.
  • Just six days ago the Colts were on the ropes after a 6-1 loss at Sadlon Arena, yet they secured the series 4-3 despite the absence of co-captain Cole Beaudoin due to an undisclosed injury.
  • Goaltender Ben Hrebik delivered a 40-save shutout after a 54-save performance on Saturday, while goals from Kashawn Aitcheson, Emil Hemming, Carter Lowe, and Parker von Richter secured the offense.
  • At the post-game press conference, Barrie coach Dylan Smoskowitz and captain Kashawn Aitcheson answered every question with "No one cares, work harder," while Brantford coach Jay McKee and captain Jake O Brien offered heartfelt responses for more than seven minutes.
  • The best-of-seven championship series for the J. Ross Robertson Cup begins Wednesday, May 6 in Kitchener, with games alternating between venues through a potential Game 7 on Monday, May 18, broadcast live on 570 NewsRadio.
