Aspinall led the Firebirds to new franchise records in points (95) and wins (44) during the 2025-26 season. He is joined on the first all-star team by Sam O’Reilly of the Kitchener Rangers (C), Nikita Klepov of the Saginaw Spirit (RW), Kashawn Aitcheson of the Barrie Colts (D), Chase Reid of the Soo Greyhounds (D) and Ryder Fetterolf of the Ottawa 67’s (G). Ottawa’s Dave Cameron was named the coach of the team.
