The Barrie Colts leadership group for the 2025–26 season features Co-Captains Cole Beaudoin (right) and Kashawn Aitcheson (left), alongside Alternate Captains Evan Passmore (left) and Brad Gardiner (right).
Together, the four leaders represent the identity of the organization through their professionalism, accountability, and commitment to the standard of the Barrie Colts Hockey Club.
A leader both on and off the ice, Cole Beaudoin continues to set the standard for the Barrie Colts through his professionalism, consistency, and commitment to the team. Selected by the Utah Hockey Club in the first round of the 2024 NHL Draft, Beaudoin has become one of the organization’s most respected leaders during his time in Barrie.
Known for his competitiveness, physical presence, and leadership, Kashawn Aitcheson brings intensity and accountability to the Barrie Colts every night. A draft pick of the New York Islanders, Aitcheson has established himself as a cornerstone on the Colts blue line while leading by example through his work ethic, passion, and commitment to the team.
A steady presence within the Barrie Colts leadership group, Evan Passmore has earned the respect of teammates and coaches through his consistency, preparation, and team-first mentality. A prospect of the New York Rangers, Passmore continues to lead by example while playing an important role both on and off the ice.
Brad Gardiner’s leadership, offensive ability, and professionalism have made him an important part of the Colts lineup. Wearing the “A” reflects his commitment to the organization and his ability to lead through both his performance on the ice and the character he brings to the locker room.
