[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

On the back of his first season as general manager of the Ottawa 67\u2019s, Jan Egert sat down to talk about the 2025-26 season, the upcoming OHL draft, and the team\u2019s ever-evolving process.<\/p>\n

While the Barber Poles may have come up short with a second-round elimination, their 100-point regular season is a massive jump from the OHL\u2019s pre-season rankings, which had the team outside the playoffs for the second year in a row.<\/p>\n

\u201cOften I hear the 67\u2019s exceeded expectations. My question is whose expectations?\u201d said team general manager Jan Egert, who was finishing his first season since being promoted to the role. \u201cThe\u00a02025-26 team invested a lot of work into the success\u00a0they\u00a0had in our 100-point season, and it\u2019s not fair to them to say they exceeded expectations. They earned their reward.\u201d<\/p>\n

Egert noted that the same standard will carry into next season as the organization looks to build on its success.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited about the players we have drafted over the past years that are developing\u00a0in Jr. A, Jr. B, U18, and prep school, and they will be provided the opportunity to make the 67\u2019s next year,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u00a0take pride in building from within, because when you get drafted and make a commitment to a team, it should mean something in both ways –\u00a0it\u2019s not just one signature on a piece of paper: it\u2019s a player, their parent, and the hockey club.\u201d<\/p>\n

This week, a handful of players will have the opportunity to join the 67\u2019s family through the entry and U18 drafts, with the OHL Draft being held in person for the first time since 2000.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019ll be an exciting event – an opportunity for the league to showcase all 20 teams, its brand, and the standards the OHL operates at,\u201d he said. \u201cI am excited to represent the 67\u2019s in that format and draft the future of our hockey club.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will also be an outstanding opportunity for the young players who will be selected in Kingston,\u201d he said. \u201cThere\u2019s been a lot of work.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the NCAA’s allowing CHL players into Division-I college hockey has allowed for a deeper player pool, Egert fundamentally doesn\u2019t believe it has changed much about the draft process.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re still watching the same players, in the same arenas, playing the same game,\u201d he said. \u201cThe\u00a0main\u00a0<\/strong>difference is that previously, when you\u2019d meet with those players or talk to their representatives, they might say the player had the ambition to play college hockey, and that could alter your draft strategy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom a scouting standpoint, we\u2019re still in the business of connecting with players we feel are the best fit for the Ottawa 67\u2019s and educating them about our program, our hockey club, and how we do things,\u201d he said. \u201cGood players, good people, are always going to have options; I like to believe that the 67\u2019s are a very good option for player development, success on ice, off-ice, and in the community.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the NHL draft, there\u2019s a big focus on whether teams should draft for the best player available or for positional need. Egert doesn\u2019t think that same logic lines up in junior hockey, at least within the 67\u2019s organization.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of change that happens to teenagers at that time away from the rink, so I don\u2019t believe that you should put your organization in a position where you have to draft for that one position,\u201d he said. \u201cI believe it\u2019s more important to focus on who is the best fit for the Ottawa 67\u2019s, and I think that goes a lot deeper than just positions.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just as important to identify players with the right mentality, passion, and loyalty to their craft, and a willingness to develop loyalty to our club,\u201d he says. \u201cWhen the on-ice and off-ice DNA come together, that gives us the best opportunity to mutually thrive and work hand-in-hand on that player\u2019s development.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for Jan\u2019s first year at the helm, it was, by most accounts, a success, but Egert is already looking ahead to how to improve on it.<\/p>\n

\u201cChallenge is a good thing,\u201d he said. \u201cI always challenge myself that what we did in 2025-26 isn\u2019t good enough for 2026-27.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t mean that we had 100 points; next year we\u2019ll aim for 101. It\u2019s more about how we went about the process,\u201d he said. \u201cWe want to develop with the ways that sports science is evolving, and to\u00a0continue to\u00a0communicate more effectively between our players and staff,\u00a0so we can meet everyone’s needs to the best of the Club’s ability.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Still, he\u2019s found moments during the season to sit back, take in, and feed off the passion and excitement surrounding the club.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe easiest thing for me this season has been the opportunity to represent the Ottawa 67\u2019s,\u201d he said. \u201cWhen I walk into TD Place and see the people, staff, coaches, players, and the energy around our club, that\u2019s been the easiest thing,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s a lot of fun to spend time with people pursuing a common goal of reaching the next level.\u201d<\/p>\n

Today, the Ottawa 67\u2019s will have the opportunity to add the next chapter to the Barber Poles’ future at the 2026 OHL Under-18 Priority Selection, beginning at 7:00 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n

The OHL Under-18 Priority Selection was introduced in 2017 with the support of Hockey Canada’s Ontario branches, including the Ontario Hockey Federation (OHF), Hockey Eastern Ontario (HEO), and Hockey Northwestern Ontario (HNO). The draft was created to support the growth of U18 AAA hockey and provide additional opportunities for players who develop later in their hockey careers. This year, no fewer than 40 players born in 2008 and 2009 will be chosen from across the province.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Selection Process<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Under-18 Priority Selection consists of two rounds, with each OHL team required to make two selections. Teams that choose a goaltender in either of the first two rounds are eligible to make an additional selection in a third round.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Eligibility<\/strong><\/p>\n

The OHL Under-18 Priority Selection allows teams to select U18 players who were not previously chosen in the OHL Priority Selection and meet league eligibility requirements. Eligible players include U18 AAA players who are not currently on an OHL Member Team Protected List and were registered with an Ontario-based U18 AAA program within the OHF, HEO, or HNO during the 2025-26 season.<\/p>\n

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]OTTAWA –<\/strong> The Ontario Hockey League (OHL) announced that Ottawa 67\u2019s goaltender Ryder Fetterolf has been named to the 2025-26 OHL First All-Star Team and OHL First All-Rookie Team, while head coach Dave Cameron has been named to the OHL First All-Star Team (Coach).<\/p>\n

Fetterolf<\/strong>, 18, joined the Ottawa 67’s as a free agent ahead of the 2025-26 season and quickly made an immediate impact in his rookie year. In 41 games, the Sewickley, Pennsylvania native posted a 29-9-2-1 record, a 2.07 goals-against average, and a .923 save percentage.<\/p>\n

He set a new OHL record for most shutouts by a rookie goaltender in a single season and became just the second goaltender in franchise history to be named OHL Goaltender of the Year, following Craig Hillier (1995-96). Fetterolf also shares the 2025-26 Dave Pinkney Trophy with Jaeden Nelson, awarded to the goaltending tandem with the lowest goals-against average, and received the F.W. \u201cDinty\u201d Moore Trophy as the rookie goaltender with the lowest goals-against average.<\/p>\n

Cameron<\/strong>, 67, guided the 67\u2019s to a 100-point regular season and a third-place finish league-wide, with the club finishing with 47 wins and a league-leading low of 160 goals against. He also achieved a significant milestone by coaching his 1,000th OHL game, becoming only the eighth coach in league history to reach this milestone.<\/p>\n

Since joining Ottawa ahead of the 2021-22 season, he led the club to a franchise-record 51 wins in 2022-23, earning both OHL Coach of the Year and CHL Coach of the Year honours. On April 15, 2026, Cameron was named OHL Coach of the Year for the second time in his career. It also marks his second selection to the OHL First All-Star Team as a coach, having previously earned the honour following the 2022-23 season.<\/p>\n

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]In the game of hockey, it\u2019s easy to write off anything but a championship-winning season as a failure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYour ultimate goal is to win the whole thing,\u201d said coach Dave Cameron, who recently inked a two-year extension with the team. \u201cSo when you don\u2019t do that, in theory, you haven\u2019t reached what you set out to do.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

But in many ways, the 2025-26 campaign was a success-filled season for the Ottawa 67\u2019s.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Originally pegged as outsiders, the team made the playoffs, hit the 100-point benchmark, and coach Dave Cameron reached the illustrious 1000-game milestone as an OHL head coach.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t like how the year before ended,\u201d said Cameron of the 2024-25 season, which saw Ottawa miss the playoffs. \u201cSo we knew that we were in for some changes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAny time you have 10 new players, you are not quite sure what level you are going to reach,\u201d said Cameron.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf you had told me at the start that we were going to reach 100-points, I might not have agreed with you,\u201d he said. \u201cBut, I recognized early on that this team was special.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Special has been a word used to describe this team by numerous people up and down the lineup, the coaching staff, and the organization for months.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s get-togethers for home-cooked meals and community events off the ice, to camaraderie, both in practice and during games, on the ice, this team bought in themselves but also each other.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat separated this group is that this group wanted to be challenged,\u201d said Cameron. \u201cWhen you challenge a group, you get two outcomes: those who think it\u2019s too hard and those who say to bring it; this group said bring it.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He was impressed at the buy-in of not only those who started their season in Ottawa, but also those who joined later in the season, including overagers Sam McCue and Nic Sima.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s always an adjustment for players coming into a new organization, especially this one, because it is hard,\u201d said Cameron. \u201cWith our program, we come in early in the morning, do a lot of stuff off ice with regards to fitness and community, so to be successful, it\u2019s hard.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSam McCue came in and was a real character for us,\u201d said Cameron. \u201cHe fit in very well and was playing his best hockey for us in the playoffs.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNic Sima came in as advertised: high energy, physical player who can play with your top players and add some timely scoring,\u201d he said. \u201cHe was a big part of our leadership group, with his enthusiasm every day being really important for us.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Cooper Foster remained a trusted leader as the team\u2019s longest-serving veteran on the team.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCooper Foster came into this organization as a kid from Sault Ste. Marie and left as a man,\u201d he said. \u201cHe\u2019s a quiet leader, but as his game evolved and he became one of our best players, he got more comfortable and accepted that challenge.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

With such key players and people moving on from the club, the challenge then becomes, how can the Ottawa 67\u2019s harness that energy and buy-in to next year\u2019s group?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWell, there\u2019s no reason to believe that the guys coming back are going to continue to have it, and you have to recognize that anybody you bring in, if they don\u2019t have it, has to be able to show that they can have it,\u201d said Cameron. \u201cAnd if they don\u2019t, we\u2019re not taking you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s our standard now,\u201d said Cameron. \u201cIf you aren\u2019t here for the right reasons, we don\u2019t want you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Cameron hopes that the returns will take that next step and guide the new group forward.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe eliminate every excuse for players,\u201d he said. \u201cThis organization offers everything that an NHL club would offer: mental health, leadership, medical, and fitness.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe lay the plan out for you, you do the work,\u201d he said. \u201cAll we ask is for you to have an open mindset, and when you have that mindset, you realize that hard work and fun can be in the same sentence.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]OTTAWA\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013\u00a0The Ottawa 67\u2019s announced today that Head Coach Dave Cameron has signed a two-year\u00a0extension with the team through the 2027-2028 season.<\/p>\n

\u201cDave is an exceptional coach,\u201d said Ottawa 67\u2019s General Manager Jan Egert. \u201cHis mentality, passion and commitment to the 67\u2019s give our group the platform to grow and develop on and off the ice. We are thrilled to continue to have his guidance and leadership in our organization for the coming years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cameron<\/strong>, 67, joined the Ottawa 67\u2019s ahead of the 2021-22 season and has continued to build an accomplished coaching r\u00e9sum\u00e9 marked by milestones and accolades. During the 2022-23 campaign, he led the Barber Poles to a franchise-record 51 wins, earning OHL Coach of the Year honours, CHL Coach of the Year recognition, and a spot on the OHL First All-Star Team.<\/p>\n

This past season, Cameron led the 67\u2019s to a 100-point regular season. After opening the preseason ranked 19th in the OHL Power Rankings, Ottawa surged to a fourth-place finish in the Eastern Conference. The Barber Poles finished the season with 47 wins and won the Dave Pinkney Trophy, allowing a league-low 160 goals against.<\/p>\n

Cameron also reached a historic milestone during the 2025-26 season, coaching his 1,000th OHL game and becoming just the eighth coach in league history to reach the mark. On April 15, 2026, he was named OHL Coach of the Year for the second time in his career.<\/p>\n

“I’m very happy to be staying in Ottawa,” Cameron said. “The passion around this team and city makes it a special place to be every day. This is a first-class organization that consistently supports its players and staff, and I look forward to continuing to build on what we\u2019ve accomplished over the past five years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before returning to Ottawa, the Charlottetown, P.E.I., native built an impressive OHL coaching career with the Soo Greyhounds and the Mississauga St. Michael\u2019s Majors. He also spent time in the NHL, serving as head coach of the Ottawa Senators from 2014 to 2016, then as an assistant coach with the Calgary Flames from 2016 to 2018. Internationally, Cameron has represented Canada on multiple occasions, earning silver at the 2011 IIHF World Junior Championship and gold in 2022.<\/p>\n

\u201cSigning Dave to a multi-year extension reaffirms our commitment to excellence,\u201d said 67\u2019s President Adrian Sciarra. “Alongside our coaching and hockey operations staff, Dave has been a leader in what we\u2019ve accomplished, and we look forward to him continuing to build on that success in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 67\u2019s season came to an end on April 18, 2026, following a second-round playoff series against the Barrie Colts. Looking ahead, Ottawa will make its first-round selection at the 2026 OHL Priority Selection on June 12 at Slush Puppie Place in Kingston.<\/p>\n

OTTAWA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Les 67 d’Ottawa ont annonc\u00e9 aujourd’hui que leur entra\u00eeneur-chef, Dave Cameron, avait prolong\u00e9 son contrat de deux ans avec l’\u00e9quipe, jusqu’\u00e0 la fin de la saison 2027-2028.<\/p>\n

\u00ab Dave est un entra\u00eeneur exceptionnel \u00bb, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 Jan Egert, directeur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral des 67 d\u2019Ottawa. \u00ab Sa mentalit\u00e9, sa passion et son d\u00e9vouement envers les 67 offrent \u00e0 notre \u00e9quipe un cadre propice \u00e0 la croissance et au d\u00e9veloppement, tant sur la glace qu\u2019en dehors. Nous sommes ravis de pouvoir continuer \u00e0 compter sur ses conseils et son leadership au sein de notre organisation dans les ann\u00e9es \u00e0 venir. \u00bb<\/p>\n

Cameron<\/strong>, \u00e2g\u00e9 de 67 ans, a rejoint les 67 d’Ottawa avant la saison 2021-2022 et n’a cess\u00e9 depuis d’enrichir son palmar\u00e8s d’entra\u00eeneur, marqu\u00e9 par des \u00e9tapes importantes et de nombreuses distinctions. Au cours de la saison 2022-2023, il a men\u00e9 les Barber Poles \u00e0 un record de franchise de 51 victoires, ce qui lui a valu le titre d\u2019entra\u00eeneur de l\u2019ann\u00e9e de l\u2019OHL, celui de la LCH, ainsi qu\u2019une place dans la premi\u00e8re \u00e9quipe d\u2019\u00e9toiles de l\u2019OHL.<\/p>\n

La saison derni\u00e8re, Cameron a men\u00e9 les 67\u2019s \u00e0\u00a0100 points en saison r\u00e9guli\u00e8re. Apr\u00e8s avoir d\u00e9but\u00e9 la pr\u00e9-saison \u00e0 la 19e place du classement de puissance de l\u2019OHL, Ottawa a surgi pour terminer \u00e0 la quatri\u00e8me place de la Conf\u00e9rence de l\u2019Est. Les Barber Poles ont termin\u00e9 la saison avec 47 victoires et ont remport\u00e9 le troph\u00e9e Dave Pinkney, n\u2019encaissant que 160 buts, le total le plus faible\u00a0de la ligue.<\/p>\n

Cameron a \u00e9galement franchi une \u00e9tape historique au cours de la saison 2025-2026, en dirigeant son 1 000e match dans la Ligue de hockey de l’Ontario (OHL) et en devenant ainsi le huiti\u00e8me entra\u00eeneur de l’histoire de la ligue \u00e0 atteindre ce cap. Le 15 avril 2026, il a \u00e9t\u00e9 nomm\u00e9 entra\u00eeneur de l’ann\u00e9e de l’OHL pour la deuxi\u00e8me fois de sa carri\u00e8re.<\/p>\n

\u00ab Je suis tr\u00e8s heureux de rester \u00e0 Ottawa \u00bb, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 Cameron. \u00ab La passion qui entoure cette \u00e9quipe et cette ville en fait un endroit sp\u00e9cial o\u00f9 il fait bon vivre au quotidien. C\u2019est une organisation de premier ordre qui soutient sans faille ses joueurs et son personnel, et j\u2019ai h\u00e2te de continuer \u00e0 b\u00e2tir sur ce que nous avons accompli au cours des cinq derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es. \u00bb<\/p>\n

Avant de revenir \u00e0 Ottawa, ce natif de Charlottetown, \u00e0 l\u2019\u00cele-du-Prince-\u00c9douard, s\u2019est forg\u00e9 une impressionnante carri\u00e8re d\u2019entra\u00eeneur dans la Ligue de hockey de l\u2019Ontario (OHL) avec les Greyhounds de Soo et les Majors de St. Michael\u2019s de Mississauga. Il a \u00e9galement \u00e9volu\u00e9 dans la LNH, occupant le poste d\u2019entra\u00eeneur-chef des S\u00e9nateurs d\u2019Ottawa de 2014 \u00e0 2016, puis celui d\u2019entra\u00eeneur adjoint des Flames de Calgary de 2016 \u00e0 2018. Sur la sc\u00e8ne internationale, Cameron a repr\u00e9sent\u00e9 le Canada \u00e0 de nombreuses reprises, remportant l\u2019argent au Championnat mondial junior de l\u2019IIHF en 2011 et l\u2019or en 2022.<\/p>\n

\u00ab La prolongation du contrat de Dave pour plusieurs ann\u00e9es r\u00e9affirme notre engagement envers l\u2019excellence \u00bb, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 Adrian Sciarra, pr\u00e9sident des 67\u2019s. \u00ab Aux c\u00f4t\u00e9s de notre \u00e9quipe d\u2019entra\u00eeneurs et de notre direction sportive, Dave a jou\u00e9 un r\u00f4le de premier plan dans nos r\u00e9alisations, et nous sommes impatients de le voir poursuivre sur cette lanc\u00e9e \u00e0 l\u2019avenir. \u00bb<\/p>\n
