Colts sign free-agent forward Tate Collins

The Barrie Colts are proud to announce that forward Tate Collins has signed an Ontario Hockey League Scholarship Agreement, committing his future to the organization.

Collins, a dynamic and offensively gifted forward, previously played with the Toronto Patriots (OJHL), where he continued to elevate his game and showcase strong two-way ability, a high compete level, and impressive maturity for his age. His strong performance with the Patriots has made him one of the league’s standout young players and a key prospect within the Colts’ system.

A native of Huntsville, Ontario, Collins brings deep roots from a community with a strong hockey identity, making this commitment especially meaningful within the region. His connection to Central Ontario further strengthens the bond between the player and the Colts organization.
