NHL’s future stars take to the ice in 67’s home opener
On September 27th, at 7 p.m., you have the inside track to see the NHL’s future stars, with the Ottawa 67’s home opener against the Niagara IceDogs.
These hallowed halls have seen many greats; Logan Couture, Peter Lee, Tyler Toffoli, Denis Potvin, Pavel Mintyukov, and Gary Roberts, to name only a few.
Pro dreams are the fuel of the junior hockey spirit; kids vying every day to prove their worth to the black-coated NHL scouts, who can make or break their playing future. Every shift is an opportunity to be seized, making certain great action and excitement.
Junior hockey truly is a special place, where dreams run wild, matched only by the ambition of the most driven young men in all of sports.
When they close their eyes, they’ll see themselves one day pulling an NHL team’s jersey over their head on the NHL Draft stage, or scoring their first professional goal, but on September 27th, when they lift their head during the national anthem, it’s the Niagara IceDogs standing across from them.
Blood, sweat, and tears, a tireless effort to reach the OHL mountaintop begins for the 67’s on that night.
Emotions will be high, and the hype unmatched. As the red lights illuminate the 67’s individual introductions, and they skate out onto the ice to the roar of the crowd, they’ll be reminded of the opportunity in front of them, playing in front of the best fans in junior hockey.
Forged in the fires of battle since 1967, an unbreakable bond between city and team. #CapitalTerritory has unified generations for nearly 60 years with a shared passion for 67’s hockey, as grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, children, nephews, and friends share their nights proudly cheering on future NHL stars, and local heroes.
To share the honour of wearing the barber pole, something most will only ever dream of: that’s special.
Players will tell their grandkids the stories of their time in the OHL, and recount it as the best time of their lives, because junior hockey is just that, a time of wonder.
When the puck drops on September 27th, where will you be? The choice is your’s, will you be part of the 67’s legacy?
