Saginaw, MI. \u2013 <\/strong>Spirit GM Dave Drinkill announced this past weekend that the organization has signed goaltender Brady Knowling (NO-ling) to an OHL Scholarship and Development Agreement.<\/p>\n

Knowling is the #1-ranked North American goalie on NHL Central Scouting\u2019s list for the 2026 Upper Deck NHL Draft.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re extremely excited to welcome Brady and his family to the Saginaw Spirit,\u201d said Drinkill. \u201cBrady is an elite goaltender who has consistently proven himself at the highest levels of his position, especially in international play with high stakes. His talent, work ethic, and competitive nature make him a tremendous addition to our team. He is an equally impressive young man off the ice as well \u2013 a team-first player that is driven to do anything to help his teammates succeed. We are beyond thrilled to bring him into our organization today and look forward to seeing the impact Brady will have both on and off the ice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Knowling, a dual US-Canadian citizen originally from Toronto, Ont., is a 6\u20195\u201d left-hand catching goaltender. The Spirit selected Knowling with their third-round pick in the 2024 OHL Priority Selection.<\/p>\n

\u201cEver since I first toured Saginaw, I loved the place and the staff,\u201d said Knowling. \u201cI\u2019m happy it worked out and that I\u2019m able to be here for what will be a fantastic year. I believe we are going to do something special this season and we have the team to do it \u2013 from goalies to skaters and staff.\u201d<\/p>\n

Knowling has spent the last two seasons with the U.S. National Team Development Program. Last season, he posted a 15-13-3-1 record, 3.51 GAA and .883 SV% with the NTDP\u2019s U-18 team. He also appeared in a game with the U-17 squad, with a 2.01 GAA and .946 SV%.<\/p>\n

\u201cBrady brings a very strong pedigree as a goaltender to our team and strengthens our crease,\u201d said goaltending coach Kevin Delamarter. \u201cHe brings great size, athleticism, and overall skill. I\u2019m excited to help him continue to build on his abilities and overall development here in Saginaw.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last summer, Knowling led Team USA\u2019s U-18 team to a Hlinka Gretzky Cup gold medal with four wins, a 2.35 GAA and .914 SV%. He joined the Americans for the IIHF World Junior Championship in January of 2026 as well.<\/p>\n

Knowling won the inaugural game of this season\u2019s CHL USA Prospects Challenge in Calgary, AB back on November 25th. His 42 saves backstopped Team USA to a 4-2 victory on the event\u2019s opening night and he was named player of the game.<\/p>\n

At the 2024 OHL Cup, Knowling led the North York Rangers to an OHL Cup semi-final appearance with a 3-1-0 record.<\/p>\n

Knowling joins Dima Zhilkin (19th overall), Blake Barnes (107th overall), Brody Najim (110th overall), Tyler Martyniuk (117th overall), Liam Campbell (141st overall), Trevor Theuer (201st overall), and Kaden Sienko (261st overall) as the eighth player from the 2024 OHL Priority Selection to sign a Scholarship and Development Agreement with the team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

For the second time in franchise history, the Toronto Marlies are Calder Cup champions.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Marlies captured the American Hockey League title on Friday night, defeating the Chicago Wolves 4-3 in Game 5 of the Calder Cup Finals on home ice in Toronto.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trailing 2-0 late in the first period, Toronto responded with four consecutive goals to take control of the contest. London Knights alumnus Landon Sim ignited the comeback with the Marlies’ opening goal, while fellow Knights graduate Easton Cowan played a pivotal role, recording three assists during the middle frame.<\/span><\/p>\n

The championship marks the second straight year a Canadian club has claimed the Calder Cup, following the Abbotsford Canucks in 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n

For Cowan and Sim, the victory represents a third consecutive championship season. The pair previously helped London capture back-to-back J. Ross Robertson Cup championships in 2024 and 2025, as well as the 2025 Memorial Cup, before making the jump to the professional ranks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Toronto entered the postseason as the fourth seed in the North Division after posting a 36-26-5-5 regular-season record. The Marlies advanced through the Rochester Americans, division champion Laval Rocket, Cleveland Monsters and Wilkes-Barre\/Scranton Penguins before defeating the Chicago Wolves in the Finals.<\/span><\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Peterborough Petes, Oshawa Generals and Kingston Frontenacs alumnus Jeff Twohey was officially inducted into the Peterborough & District Sports Hall of Fame.<\/span><\/p>\n

Born in Lindsay, Ont., Twohey has called Peterborough home for more than 40 years. He joined the Petes organization in 1980 as a part-time scout before transitioning into a trainer\/scout role in 1983. Over the years, he worked his way through numerous positions, including marketing, Assistant General Manager and ultimately General Manager.<\/span><\/p>\n

During his time with the Petes, Twohey also served as a part-time scout with the Dallas Stars from 1979 to 1999, helping the organization capture the Stanley Cup in 1999. In Peterborough, he was part of OHL Championship-winning teams in 1989 and 1993 as Assistant General Manager, and again in 1996 and 2006 as General Manager. The Petes also made four Memorial Cup appearances during his tenure.<\/span><\/p>\n

As General Manager, Twohey guided the Petes to more than 600 victories. During that time, 54 players were selected in the NHL Draft, including nine first-round picks. He also contributed to the league through service on numerous OHL committees, including Priority Selection, Competition, Officiating, CHL Import Draft, Protected List, NCAA Issues, All-Star Selection and the CHL Canada-Russia Series Selection Committee. He additionally served as an OHA representative evaluating Canada’s U18 and U20 national team prospects.<\/span><\/p>\n

Twohey’s contributions to the game have been widely recognized. He received the Bill Long Award for Distinguished Service in 2006 and the OHL Milestone Award for 25 years of distinguished service in 2008. That same year, he was inducted into the Lindsay and District Sports Hall of Fame.<\/span><\/p>\n

After departing the Petes in 2010, Twohey spent two seasons with the NHL’s Arizona Coyotes before returning to the OHL as General Manager of the Oshawa Generals. From 2012 to 2018, he served as Assistant Director of Amateur Scouting for the Coyotes, scouting more than 250 live games.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2020, Twohey joined the Kingston Frontenacs as a senior advisor before moving into a scouting role with the Florida Panthers in 2021. He added two more Stanley Cup championships to his resume as a member of the Panthers organization in 2024 and 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
