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

The Barrie Colts Hockey Club is proud to announce the signing of defenceman Aiden Mowrey <\/strong><\/em>to an Ontario Hockey Leauge Player Agreement.<\/p>\n

Mowrey, a 6-foot-4, 205-pound right-shot blueliner, joins the Colts from the Pittsburgh Penguins Elite 18U AAA program. Born July 2, 2009, in Wexford, Pennsylvania, the 16-year-old brings a strong physical presence and high-end defensive upside to Barrie\u2019s back end.<\/p>\n

Mowrey is a player the organization is excited to add to its group. He possesses great size, skates well for a defenceman of his stature, and competes hard in all three zones. His game is expected to continue to develop within the Colts\u2019 environment, with the tools to make an immediate impact.<\/p>\n

He has developed within one of the top Tier I programs in the United States, consistently facing elite competition at the 18U level. His combination of height, mobility, and right-handed shot adds valuable depth to the Colts\u2019 defensive core.<\/p>\n

The Barrie Colts continue to build toward the future with the addition of Mowrey, further strengthening their roster with size, skill, and compete level on the back end.<\/p>\n

Welcome to Barrie, Aiden!<\/p>\n

The Barrie Colts will take a 2\u20130 series lead into Ottawa as their second-round matchup with the Ottawa 67\u2019s shifts to the nation\u2019s capital for Games 3 and 4.<\/p>\n

Barrie earned its advantage with a strong Game 2 performance on home ice, responding to an early second-period deficit with four unanswered goals. Calvin Crombie, Carter Lowe, E<\/strong><\/em>mil Hemming, Ben Wilmott, and Cole Beaudoin<\/strong><\/em> all scored in the victory, as the Colts extended their playoff win streak to five games.<\/p>\n

Cole Beaudoin<\/strong><\/em> continues to pace the Colts offensively. Following a career-best regular season that saw him record 33 goals and 89 points, the co-captain has carried that momentum into the postseason. His three-point effort in Game 2 gives him 17 points (five goals, 12 assists) through six playoff games, leading all Ontario Hockey League skaters.<\/p>\n

Since joining the Colts, Ben Wilmott<\/strong> <\/em>has also provided a consistent offensive spark, recording 44 points in total and contributing seven goals so far in the playoff run.<\/p>\n

On the back end, goaltender Ben Hrebik<\/strong><\/em> has been a key foundation for Barrie throughout their playoff run. Through six appearances, Hrebik has posted a .916 save percentage, giving the Colts steady and timely performances in net.<\/p>\n

As the series shifts to Ottawa, the Colts are preparing for a heightened challenge from a 67\u2019s team looking to respond on home ice.<\/p>\n

The Barrie Colts delivered a composed and resilient effort on home ice Saturday night, defeating the Ottawa 67\u2019s 5\u20133 in Game Two to take a commanding 2\u20130 lead in their Round Two series.<\/p>\n

Barrie weathered early pressure from Ottawa before settling into a structured opening period. After a steady start from both sides, it was the Colts who struck first midway through the frame. Following a strong defensive play from Keyshawn Aitcheson to force a turnover, Cole Beaudoin capitalized on a breakaway opportunity, slipping a backhand shot through the five-hole to give Barrie a 1\u20130 lead.<\/p>\n

Ottawa responded with a fortunate bounce on a two-on-one rush to even the score at 1\u20131, but the story of the opening period quickly became Colts goaltender Ben Hrebik. The netminder delivered multiple highlight-reel saves, including back-to-back stops in tight and a sprawling effort to deny a rebound chance in the crease, keeping the game level through 20 minutes.<\/p>\n

The second period saw the pace intensify, with Ottawa briefly taking their first lead of the series early in the frame. Barrie answered quickly. After a strong individual effort from Dalyn Zebeski to drive the net, Calvin Crombie buried the rebound to tie the game 2\u20132.<\/p>\n

Special teams proved pivotal as the period progressed. On the power play, the Colts regained the lead with a well-executed passing sequence, as Carter Lowe redirected a shot-pass into the net to make it 3\u20132. Barrie\u2019s penalty kill also stood tall, turning aside multiple Ottawa opportunities while Hrebik continued to anchor the defensive effort.<\/p>\n

Carrying a one-goal lead into the third, the Colts took control of the game. Emil Hemming extended the advantage early in the period with a quick release from a sharp angle that caught Ottawa\u2019s goaltender off guard. Moments later, Barrie capitalized again on the power play, with a point shot finding its way through traffic and being redirected home to give the Colts a 5\u20132 cushion.<\/p>\n

From there, Barrie locked the game down with a disciplined, physical approach. Aitcheson continued to set the tone with his presence along the boards, while the Colts limited Ottawa\u2019s ability to generate sustained offensive pressure.<\/p>\n

Ottawa would add a late goal and push with the net empty, but Barrie remained composed in the closing minutes. Hrebik made several key stops down the stretch, and the Colts held on to secure the 5\u20133 victory.<\/p>\n

With contributions throughout the lineup and another strong performance in goal, Barrie now heads on the road with full momentum and a 2\u20130 series lead.<\/p>\n

The Colts will look to carry that consistency into Game Three as they aim to tighten their grip on the series.<\/p>\n
