JET KWAJAH SIGNS WITH BRANTFORD BULLDOGS
BRANTFORD, ONTARIO. Brantford Bulldogs General Manager Spencer Hyman today announced the signing of recently acquired defenseman Jet Kwajah, from the Madison Capitols of the USHL, to an OHL Scholarship & Development Agreement.
Kwajah, a Hamilton, ON product, was originally selected in the 6th round, 104th overall in the 2024 OHL Priority Selection Draft after being signed to a 1st round tender in the USHL by the Madison Capitols. The offensively minded Kwajah entered the junior level from the Toronto Jr. Canadiens U16 AAA program where he posted 3 goals & 20 assists for 23 points in 30 GTHL games in his draft season. The 6’0”/177 right-shot rearguard moved to the USHL for the 2024-25 season collecting 6 goals & 10 assists for 16 ponts in 41 games while skating to a plus-4 rating earning recognition on the USHL All-Rookie Team. Kwajah nearly doubled his output in the 2026-27 season collecting a team leading 7 goals from the blueline with 20 assists for 27 points over 55 games lead to Kwajah being on both the NHL Central Scouting Mid-Term and Final rankings ahead of the 2026 NHL Draft. Kwajah currently holds a commitment to Penn State University which he shares in common with fellow Bulldogs newcomers Xavier Lieb & Owen DeGraff. Kwajah’s playing rights were acquired by the Bulldogs in a June 2nd trade from the Owen Sound Attack.
On his acquisition, Brantford Bulldogs General Manager Spencer Hyman was quoted;
“We are thrilled to welcome Jet Kwajah to the Bulldogs organization. We believe Jet has the ability to be one of the premier offensive defencemen in the OHL immediately.” said Brantford Bulldogs General Manager Spencer Hyman. “He is an elite skater, an exceptional puck mover, and possesses a high-end shot that makes him a threat every time he touches the puck. What separates Jet is his offensive instincts and hockey sense, but he also has the ability to defend and impact the game in all three zones. Beyond his talent, he is a first-class person and one of the highest-character young men you will meet.”.
