BRAMPTON, ON \u2013<\/strong> The Brampton Steelheads announced the signing of their 7th overall pick in this year\u2019s 2026 CHL Import Draft, goaltender Oskari Ahmajarvi, to an OHL Scholarship and Development Agreement.<\/p>\n

Ahmajarvi, a native of Nurmij\u00e4rvi, Finland, became the first goaltender selected by the Brampton Steelheads in the 2026 CHL Import Draft when the club chose him 7th overall in the first round. The 6-foot, 181-pound netminder was the first goaltender taken in the draft after an impressive season with Keikko-Espoo in the U20 SM-Sarja league, where he posted a 2.34 goals-against average and a .910 save percentage in 29 appearances. Ahmaj\u00e4rvi has also represented Finland on the international stage on multiple occasions at the U16, U17 and U18 levels.<\/p>\n

Director of Goaltending, David Shantz, had this to say about Oskari, \u201cOskari is a highly competitive, athletic goaltender with a strong track record of results. His Finnish U20 SM-Sarja championship in Keikko-Espoo last season, coupled with his international body of work provides a solid foundation for him to transition and earn success at the OHL level. Oskari will provide our team with a strong presence heading into next season as we seek to take a meaningful step forward as a group.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Barrie Colts announced today that the club has signed defenceman Marc Ruggere to a standard OHL player agreement, officially bringing the New Jersey product into the organization’s blue-line pipeline.<\/p>\n

Ruggere, a 6-foot-3, 196-pound right-shot defenceman from Saddle River, New Jersey, was selected by Barrie in the fifth round (87th overall) of the 2026 OHL Priority Selection, a pick acquired via Saginaw. The signing formalizes his commitment to the organization after a summer that saw him weigh a college path before deciding his future was in the CHL.<\/p>\n

\n

“We’re really excited to get Marc’s name on paper,” said Colts General Manager Marty Williamson<\/em><\/strong>. “He’s a big, physical kid who plays with an edge every night. As soon as our staff saw him play, we knew this was a guy who fit the identity we’re building in Barrie.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A stay-at-home defenceman with an imposing frame and a competitive streak, Ruggere spent last season with the Woodbridge Wolfpack Premier U15 AAA before capping his year with the Detroit Little Caesars at the OHL Cup, where he chipped in a goal over five games against some of the top competition in the region.<\/p>\n

Ruggere’s game is built on details: tight gaps, a heavy stick, and a willingness to make life difficult for opposing forwards below the hoops. Scouts have flagged him as a high-character, high-compete defender who reads plays well for a player his size, giving the Colts a long-term piece who profiles as a shutdown option as he continues to develop.<\/p>\n

With the signing complete, Ruggere joins a Colts blue line that continues to add size and physicality, giving Barrie’s coaching staff another versatile option to develop as the organization builds.<\/p>\n
