Aitcheson Continues to Develop
Kashawn Aitcheson entered the 2023-24 season only playing in 23 games during his rookie campaign and only registered three points (1 goal, two assists).
Fast forward, Aitcheson would be a heavily relied upon defenceman for the Barrie Colts in the 2023-24 season. Aitcheson would go on to play major minutes on the back end and lead all Colts defencemen with 39 points (8 goals, 31 assists) and a team-high 129 penalty minutes.

“Kashawn’s commitment to his craft on a daily basis of getting better has allowed him to elevate his game at an incredible pace. His focus and dedication have enabled him to get this opportunity. Not only has his growth come on the ice, but he has put the time into our community with our fans beyond the rink.” Associate Coach, Phillip Barski.
Aitcheson was named a member of Hockey Canada’s U18 team which is currently competing at the IIHF U18 World Championship in Finland. This marks the first time the defenceman has been a member of a Hockey Canada team.
With being born on September 21st, 2006, Kashawn is eligible for the 2025 NHL Draft.
