67’s’ Cooper Foster named Cogeco OHL Player of the Week

TORONTO – The Ontario Hockey League (OHL) today announced that Ottawa 67’s forward Cooper Foster is the Cogeco OHL Player of the Week, putting together three straight multi-point efforts as the 67’s went 3-0 on the road.

Foster started the week by scoring the overtime winner in Thursday’s 3-2 win over the Barrie Colts, also adding an assist as the 67’s won a clash of Eastern Conference contenders. He repeated that output on Friday in Brampton, scoring his 27th goal of the season after providing an assist in a 5-1 win over the Steelheads. Foster provided primary assists on the first two goals of Sunday’s 6-0 win over the Niagara IceDogs, giving him a club-leading 62 points (27-35–62) over 63 games along with a plus/minus rating of plus-30.

A 20-year-old from Sault Ste. Marie, ON, Foster is currently in his fifth OHL season, having produced 86 goals, 121 assists and 207 points over 254 regular season games with a plus/minus rating of plus-59. The 6-foot, 190Ib. centreman was Ottawa’s second round (32nd overall) pick in 2021, and was drafted by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the sixth round (174th overall) of the 2023 NHL Draft before going unsigned. Prior to his time in the OHL, Foster was named MVP of the NOJHL in 2021-22, helping his hometown Soo Thunderbirds win a league championship.
