Fans can watch on FloHockey or listen to TSN 1200 for play-by-play from Kenny Walls.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To say this series has been completely Barrie\u2019s would be just untrue, as the Ottawa 67\u2019s have outperformed Barrie, even dominating the Colts at various points throughout the series. Game 3\u2019s explosive second period saw Ottawa find success on the power play twice, netting three goals total and outshooting the Colts 18-8.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Game 4\u2019s final five minutes had Barrie on their heels, giving up two goals to bully back into what could\u2019ve been a completely lost game. Defenseman Frankie Marrelli has been instrumental to the surge offensively lately, with five points in his last two games.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIt\u2019s do or die now,\u201d said Cooper Foster, who leads the team with 10 points this playoffs. \u201cI think we showed at the end (of last game), what we are capable of, I think if we do that for a full 60 next game, it\u2019s gonna be a different result.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ryder Fetterolf, who was recently crowned the OHL\u2019s Goalie of the Year, has been outstanding in the back half of the playoff series, with a .957 save percentage in Game 3 and a .930 save percentage in Game 4.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The biggest things Ottawa will need to do to succeed are to stay disciplined, execute on time, and get their goaltender moving. Each time they\u2019ve accomplished these three things in this series, they\u2019ve shown themselves to be able to withstand and even thrive against the Colts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThere\u2019s nothing my team\u2019s not doing,\u201d said Cameron. \u201cDo you want them to do a little bit better, yeah of course you would.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThey\u2019re gonna be a real good team,\u201d said Cameron. \u201cThey\u2019re gonna want to stomp us out, we\u2019re ready to accept that challenge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Barrie has found a lot of success from their star players.

His answers are holistic and lush with lessons and glimpses into his experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A background as an ex-NHL player and high-school guidance counsellor informs his approach to coaching, getting the players prepared for the next level, whether that is the pros, the NHL or even adult life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cHe\u2019s a fair coach,\u201d said Foster. \u201cNot only is he a hockey coach, but he\u2019s a life mentor to me as well.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While winning the OHL\u2019s Coach of the Year award, especially for the second time in the last four seasons, is reflective of Dave Cameron\u2019s ability as a coach, he\u2019ll be the first to tell you that it takes an army to get there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI think if you talked to anybody in any sport that won coach of the year, there\u2019s a lot of common denominators, first and foremost, you have to have good players,\u201d said Cameron. \u201cIt has to be a good organisation, because it\u2019s not a one-man show.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIt\u2019d be like if a school got some type of award for being the best school,\u201d said Cameron. \u201cThe principal would accept the award, but he didn\u2019t do all the work.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cHe just got this group together right from the start,\u201d said Foster. \u201cHe gives us great starting points, but it\u2019s our group of guys that took his message to heart and rolled it from there.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For Cameron, much like any reward, it\u2019s a reflection of the team\u2019s total buy-in, from the players on the bench to the training and support staff, all the way up to the food chain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cYou don\u2019t have a good team because you get lucky, but because you have scouts who are out at rinks late at night, on a Friday when it\u2019s 40 below, and they find players for you,\u201d said Cameron.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI\u2019m really excited because I get to share it with my staff, who are exceptional,\u201d said Cameron. \u201cI get to share it with the organisation because they do everything for us.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThat\u2019s what\u2019s best for me, because it truly is a team award,\u201d said Cameron. \u201cYou don\u2019t win coach of the year if you have a bad team.\u201d<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]Dave Cameron has a palpable aura to him.

In his first season with the 67\u2019s after signing as a free agent prior to the 2025-26 campaign, Fetterolf quickly established himself as one of the league\u2019s top goaltenders and a reliable presence for Ottawa.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re very proud of Ryder and what this honour represents,\u201d said Ottawa 67\u2019s General Manager Jan Egert. \u201cRyder\u2019s performance gives the team in front of him confidence, which has been an important part of our success. We\u2019re proud of the growth he\u2019s shown this season, given the investments he and Andrew Mercer made throughout the year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fetterolf, 18, proved to be a driving force behind the 67\u2019s defensive structure throughout the season. In 41 games, the Sewickley, Pennsylvania native posted a 2.07 goals-against average, a .923 save percentage, and a 29-9-2-1 record. On March 15, he recorded his sixth shutout of the season, setting a new OHL record for most shutouts by a rookie goaltender in a single season while also establishing a new franchise record. He shares the 2025-26 Dave Pinkney Trophy with Jaeden Nelson, awarded to the goaltending tandem with the lowest goals-against total in the regular season, and was named the recipient of the F.W. \u201cDinty\u201d Moore Trophy as the rookie goaltender with the lowest goals-against average. In the postseason, Fetterolf appeared in eight games, posting a 3.04 goals-against average, a .902 save percentage, and a 5-3 record<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRyder\u2019s growth this season has been exceptional. His composure, work ethic, and attention to detail set him apart every day,\u201d said Andrew Mercer, Goalie Coach for the Ottawa 67\u2019s. \u201cHe puts in the work when no one\u2019s watching, and this kind of recognition comes from that dedication. He\u2019s earned every bit of this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Fetterolf\u2019s impact in his first season with the 67\u2019s has drawn attention across the league, further solidifying his status as one of the OHL\u2019s top emerging goaltenders. On April 16, he was ranked 11th among North American goaltenders ahead of the 2026 NHL Draft by NHL Central Scouting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m really honoured to receive this award,\u201d said Ryder Fetterolf. \u201cI\u2019ve had great support from Merc [Andrew Mercer] and the entire organization, and they\u2019ve helped me take my game to another level.

\u2013<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> After picking up their first win of the series Tuesday, the #3 Ottawa 67\u2019s are looking to tie things up as they host the #2 Barrie Colts at home on Thursday, April 16th at 7:00 p.m. for Game 4 of the 2026 OHL Playoffs presented by Nissan. Fans can also tune in to the game at home via Flo Hockey, Rogers Channel 22, or listen to TSN 1200 for play-by-play from Kenny Walls.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After two losses to start the series, Ottawa was finally able to implement and execute their system to a tee on Tuesday with a 5-2 win. Cooper Foster picked up a goal in the game, extending his point streak to five games while continuing to lead the team with nine points in the postseason so far. Meanwhile, Frankie Marrelli is coming off a huge game, netting three points in the 5-2 win in Game 3. In the crease, the 67&#8217;s will roll with Goalie of the Year nominee Ryder Fetterolf, who had a .947 save percentage across 37 shots in Tuesday&#8217;s win. As for roster changes, David Bedkowski returns to the lineup for the first time since Game 1, after serving a two-game suspension. Additionally, Coach Dave Cameron will enter the game as the OHL&#8217;s newly minted Coach of the Year, earning the award on Wednesday. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Colts carry the league\u2019s playoff point leader in Cole Beaudoin, who sits with 19 points in the postseason so far. Barrie is led in goals by Ben Wilmott, who is sitting at a goal per game in the playoffs through eight games.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Barber Poles\u2019 discipline in Game 3 proved to be essential for the victory. They were able to hold off getting a penalty until late in the third with the game nearly secured, and as a result, their penalty kill seemed much calmer against the Colts&#8217; otherwise lethal power play.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ottawa had seemed to have found some holes in Barrie goaltender Ben Hrebik in Game 3, showing a tendency to give up rebounds to the slot, losing form when trying to stop said rebounds, and a tendency to lose composure and move wildly when Ottawa sets up the cycle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Additionally, the last game saw the success of the line of Sam McCue, Zach Houben, and Teddy Spitznagel in grinding down Barrie\u2019s top line.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If Ottawa can combine these three factors again, the 67\u2019s could have a real shot at putting Barrie in their heels for Game 5.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For more storylines, check out the series preview <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/chl.ca\/ohl-67s\/article\/series-preview-ottawa-67s-to-battle-barrie-colts-in-second-round\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, as well as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/chl.ca\/ohl-67s\/playoffs-2026\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Playoffs Central<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> presented by Gabriel Pizza for tickets, contests, and much more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Capital connections:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Barrie Colts feature Ottawa-area-born forward and Utah Mammoth first-round pick Cole Beaudoin (Kanata).
