Bulldogs’ Calvin Crombie named Cogeco OHL Player of the Week
Toronto, Ont. – The Ontario Hockey League (OHL) today announced that Brantford Bulldogs forward Calvin Crombie is the Cogeco OHL Player of the Week, leading the league with 10 points over three contests.
Crombie helped the Bulldogs rebound to go 3-0 this past week, scoring once while adding nine assists on a lethal line alongside Nick Lardis and Patrick Thomas. Crombie began the week with three assists in Wednesday’s 5-1 win over the visiting Sarnia Sting. The Bulldogs hit the road on Friday and Crombie took his offensive productivity with him to the nation’s capital, scoring while adding three assists in a 6-3 win over the Ottawa 67’s. Crombie closed out the week on Saturday, recording an assist on all three Brantford goals as the Bulldogs defeated the Kingston Frontenacs 3-2 in the game’s final minute.
A 19-year-old right-winger from Hamilton, Ont., Crombie is in his second season with the Bulldogs, putting up 11 points (1-10—11) through his first seven games of the season. A former 15th round (297th overall) pick by the London Knights in 2022, Crombie spent time with the GOJHL’s Caledonia Corvairs before entering the OHL. He is the nephew of former Knights forward Chris Crombie (1989-92).
Also given consideration for the award this week, Bulldogs linemate Nick Lardis put the finishing touches of Crombie’s playmaking, scoring six times while adding two assists over three games.
