Knights Sign Forward, Kane Barch to an OHL Scholarship and Development Agreement
The London Knights are very proud to announce that the Club has signed forward
Kane Barch to an OHL Scholarship and Development Agreement. Kane’s rights were
acquired from the Kitchener Rangers at last year’s trade deadline and was drafted
to the OHL in the first round, twenty-second overall in the 2025 priority selection.
Barch has local ties to the community playing his U14 to U16 seasons with the
Huron Perth Lakers before playing one season with the United States National
Team Development Program and appearing in the World U17 Hockey Challenge for
the USA.
Kane becomes the third, second generation player signed to the Club following
Ryan Beaulieu and Anthony Thomas-Maroon. Kane’s father, Krys played for the
Knights from 1997-2000.
“Kane brings a competitive and winning attitude to our team that matches the brand of
hockey we expect in London. He understands the history of the London Knights and
what it takes to win here and that’s important for our success.”
– Mark Hunter, General Manager
