General Manager George Burnett announced today that the Guelph Storm have acquired forward Ethan Czata and a conditional 15th<\/sup> round pick (NIA) in 2027 from the Niagara IceDogs in exchange for forward Carter Lewandowski, defenseman Zack Naish, a 2nd round pick (KGN) in 2028, a 3rd round pick (OSH) in 2026, a 4th round pick (GUE) in 2029, and a 5th<\/sup> round pick (GUE) in the 2026 OHL Priority Selection.<\/p>\n

\u201cEthan is amongst the top two-way forwards in the Ontario Hockey League,\u201d said George Burnett. \u201cHe is a leader who competes hard each and every night. The pace in which he plays and the details within his game allow him to be successful in all situations. We are excited to welcome Ethan and his family to Guelph.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 2007-born forward was originally selected in the first round (5th\u00a0overall) by the IceDogs in the 2023 Ontario Hockey League Priority Selection. In three seasons in the OHL, the 6-foot-2, 190 lbs forward has recorded 125 points (53 goals, 72 assists) in 193 regular season games. Czata served as the IceDogs captain for the 2025-26 season.<\/p>\n

Czata represented his country on three occasions – once during the 2023 U17 World Hockey Challenge, once at the 2024 Hlinka Gretzky Cup, and again during the 2025 IIHF U18 World Championships \u2013 winning a gold medal at all three events. Czata and Storm Head Coach Cory Stillman won gold with Team Canada at the 2025 U18 World Championships, where the Brampton, ON native finished the tournament with five points (one goal and four assists), including a goal in the gold medal game.<\/p>\n

Czata was drafted in the second round (56th<\/sup> overall) by the Tampa Bay Lightning in last year\u2019s NHL Entry Draft and signed his entry level contract with the club a month later. The Lightning prospect recorded 25 goals and 28 assists for 53 points in 63 games with Niagara last season. After the OHL playoffs, Czata was re-assigned to the Lightning\u2019s AHL affiliate, the Syracuse Crunch, and suited up for three games.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am honoured to be a member of the Storm and to help this team compete for a Memorial Cup,\u201d said Czata. \u201cI always loved playing in Guelph because of the passionate fans and I am happy I get to play for them this year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Friday, March 20 OS @ GUE<\/strong><\/p>\n

What is your go-to thing to do before a game day?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wil McFadden: \u201cI just like to rest. I always have a big breakfast with my billet brother Rylan, I take a nap, and then I come to the rink for the game.”<\/p>\n

How many times does this team practice a week, and how long are the practices?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wil McFadden: “We practice as a full team every day, and the practices are about an hour. Some of us have morning ice times as well.”<\/p>\n

Who is one of your good friends on the team, and what makes them such a great friend?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wil McFadden: “I feel like I’m good friends with a lot of guys on this team, but I would say Rylan Singh. We’re together a lot, we spend a lot of time together.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

After returning to the postseason with one of the league’s youngest rosters, the Guelph Storm saw their playoff run come to an end in the opening round. Despite the early exit, the organization has plenty to be optimistic about moving forward as its young core continues to develop ahead of a significant chapter in franchise history.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last season, it was announced that the Storm would host the 2027 Memorial Cup, giving the club an opportunity to continue building toward the national spotlight over the next year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, they say goodbye to the lone member of their graduating class as Ethan Miedema moves on from the OHL following the conclusion of his overage season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Acquired by the Storm during the offseason, <\/span>Ethan Miedema<\/span><\/a> put together a strong overage campaign, recording 47 points (25-22\u201347). In December, he also became the first OHL player born in the 2000s to reach the 300-career-game milestone. Prior to arriving in Guelph, Miedema spent time with both the Kingston Frontenacs and Windsor Spitfires.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 21-year-old from Cobourg, Ont., concludes his OHL career with 235 points (100-135\u2013235) across 335 regular-season games. Originally selected fourth overall by Windsor in the 2021 OHL Priority Selection, Miedema was later chosen by the Buffalo Sabres in the fourth round (109th overall) of the 2023 NHL Draft. He is committed to Bemidji State University for the 2026-27 season.<\/span><\/p>\n

For the first time since the year 2000, the future of the Ontario Hockey League will be drafted under one roof. The 2026 OHL Priority Selection presented by Real Canadian Superstore is heading to Kingston, Ontario, on June 12-13, bringing the excitement of draft day back to a live, in-person format.<\/p>\n

As the hockey world prepares to descend on the Limestone City, the scouting community has been hard at work evaluating the next wave of premier talent. To set the stage for this historic weekend, we are proud to unveil The Consensus Ontario Top-100<\/b>\u2014the definitive ranking of the province’s top prospects eligible for the 2026 Priority Selection.<\/p>\n

Building the Consensus Ontario Top-100<\/h3>\n

This Top-100 list goes beyond a single perspective. It is a holistic, data-driven aggregate built from the tireless work of the industry’s leading independent scouting services.<\/p>\n

By compiling and calculating a weighted average of the provincial rankings produced by Elite Prospects<\/strong>, HockeyProspect.com<\/strong>, Neutral Zone<\/strong>, PDA Evaluations<\/strong>, and PuckPreps<\/strong>, this master board mathematically cuts through the variance to reveal the independent scouting community consensus.<\/p>\n

Leading the charge at the top of the board is Hill Academy centreman Tanner Adams, followed closely by Vaughan Kings standouts Kane Cloutier and Adrian Sgro. But with a deep and dynamic talent pool developing across the province and into the United States, the debate on who the Oshawa Generals will select first overall rages on.<\/p>\n

By the Numbers: The Class of 2026<\/span><\/h3>\n
