67’s’ Ryder Fetterolf named OHL Rookie of the Week

TORONTO – The Ontario Hockey League (OHL) today announced that 2026 NHL Draft eligible goaltender Ryder Fetterolf of the Ottawa 67’s is the OHL Rookie of the Week, going 1-2 with a 2.70 goals-against average and .924 save percentage.

Fetterolf’s 67’s saw their playoff run come to an end, but the OHL Goaltender of the Year did not disappoint, making 97 saves over three games to give the Barber Poles a chance against the Barrie Colts. Fetterolf made 36 saves in a 5-2 Game 3 victory on Tuesday, turned aside 40 shots as the 67’s lost 3-2 in Game 4 and made 21 saves in Game 5 as Ottawa’s season came to an end in a 4-1 final.

An 18-year-old from Sewickley, Pennsylvania, Fetterolf claimed the Jim Rutherford Trophy as OHL Goaltender of the Year, becoming the first rookie in his first two seasons of eligibility to do so in OHL history. He played to a record of 29-9-2-1 with a franchise record 2.07 goals-against average and league-leading .923 save percentage, posting an OHL rookie record six shutouts. In the playoffs, Fetterolf was 5-4 with a 3.04 goals-against average and .900 save percentage over nine games. He is listed as the OHL’s top NHL Draft eligible netminder on NHL Central Scouting’s final rankings released last week, coming in at 11th in North America.
