Bulldogs, Frontenacs swap 2008-born forwards
The Brantford Bulldogs have acquired forward Camden McCuaig and a sixth-round pick in the 2026 OHL Priority Selection from the Kingston Frontenacs in exchange for forward Ryan Chamberlain, along with a third-round and sixth-round pick in the 2027 OHL Priority Selection.
McCuaig, a Williamstown, Ontario native, was originally selected by Kingston in the fifth round, 87th overall, of the 2024 OHL Priority Selection. The 6-foot-4 centre split the 2025-26 season between the Frontenacs and the Cornwall Colts of the CCHL, producing 18 goals and 24 assists for 42 points in 40 games with Cornwall while also recording six points (3-3-6) in 17 OHL games.
“We’re thrilled to add Camden McCuaig to the Bulldogs,” said Brantford General Manager Spencer Hyman. “Camden is a big, powerful centre who impacts the game in all three zones. He plays a hard, heavy style and brings an element to our lineup that we felt we needed.”
The move gives Brantford another young forward with size and offensive upside as the club continues to reshape its roster heading into the 2026-27 season.
Heading to Kingston is Chamberlain, a Peterborough native who was originally selected by the Sarnia Sting in the fifth round of the 2024 OHL Priority Selection. The 6-foot-2 forward spent most of the 2025-26 campaign with the Brantford Titans of the GOJHL, recording 19 points in 27 games, while also appearing in 17 games with the Bulldogs.
“Ryan is a very strong skater with good instincts on both sides of the puck,” said Frontenacs General Manager Kory Cooper. “He has good size and can play down the middle or on the wing, adding flexibility for our forward group.”
Kingston also adds a pair of future draft selections, including a third-round pick in 2027, as the club continues to build its draft capital ahead of future OHL Priority Selections.
