OHL Awards – Mickey Renaud Captain’s Trophy Finalists"},"content":{"rendered":"

TORONTO – <\/strong>The Ontario Hockey League (OHL) today announced finalists for the Mickey Renaud Captain’s Trophy, an award that recognizes the OHL team captain that best exemplifies leadership on and off the ice, with a passion and dedication to the game of hockey in his community.<\/p>\n

Nomination forms are submitted annually by OHL General Managers on behalf of their individual team captains. The selection committee consists of a panel of four, representing media from each OHL division.<\/p>\n

This year’s Mickey Renaud Captain’s Trophy Finalists include:<\/p>\n

Jake O’Brien (C, Brantford Bulldogs)
\n<\/strong>Following in the footsteps of great Bulldogs captains in Lawson Sherk and Patrick Thomas, Jake O’Brien<\/a> had a tremendous season, leading the OHL in points-per-game with 1.75. The Bulldogs’ career record-holder in assists (182) and points (255), O’Brien has been a regular attendee of school visits, engaging students on the importance of being a good teammate, a leader, and encouraging them to pursue their dreams. He’s also participated in visits to the Brant County Hospital, organized team charitable donations and with Vintage Apparel co., used his NHL Draft status in 2025 to lead a charitable campaign selling shirts and donating the proceeds. The former OHL Cup MVP was chosen eighth overall by the Seattle Kraken in the 2025 NHL Draft.<\/p>\n

Nathan Aspinall (LW, Flint Firebirds)
\n<\/strong>Setting a new Flint Firebirds single season assist record with 61, Nathan Aspinall<\/a> wore the ‘C’ for the most successful season in the club’s 10-year history. The 6-foot-7, 207Ib. winger demonstrated a unique ability to elevate those around him and make his teammates better through both his performance and communication. From a 29-game rookie season in 2022-23 that saw him as a healthy scratch on many nights, Aspinall’s positivity, determination and commitment to improvement have seen him develop into one of the League’s premier power forwards. Throughout the season, Aspinall participated in charitable events including ball hockey initiatives, hospital visits, fan engagement opportunities and youth hockey practices. He consistently took time to sign autographs, take photos and connect with fans and his positive attitude makes him an outstanding ambassador for the Firebirds organization and the OHL. Aspinall was a fifth round pick of the New York Rangers in the 2024 NHL Draft.<\/p>\n

Brady Martin (C, Soo Greyhounds)
\n<\/strong>Producing a point-per-game through an injury-shortened season, Nashville Predators first round pick Brady Martin<\/a> won a bronze medal with Canada at the 2026 World Juniors, and provided leadership for the Soo Greyhounds, who won 39 games in 2025-26. Exemplifying the values of hard work, respect, humility and perseverance formed through his upbringing on the family farm in Elmira, ON, Martin has been instrumental in carrying-on a culture of excellence in Sault Ste. Marie. This season, Martin participated in a community initiative inspired by the Hounds’ Academic Advisors that saw him make weekly visits to the Great Northern Retirement Home to interact with the seniors living there. He enjoyed playing cards and talking with the residents, building relationships throughout the season. Martin was also part of visits to a daycare centre to interact with three and four-year-olds, reading a Robert Munsch hockey book before playing mini sticks with the children. Whether it’s on the ice or out in the community, Martin takes pride in being a Greyhound.<\/i><\/p>\n

Liam Greentree (LW, Windsor Spitfires)
\n<\/strong>Last year’s recipient of the Mickey Renaud Captain’s Trophy, Liam Greentree<\/a> continued to lead the way for the Spitfires, who emerged as West Division champions for a second straight season. With his rights dealt to the New York Rangers midway through the season in a deal that saw Los Angeles acquire forward Artemi Panarin, Greentree finished his fourth OHL campaign with 74 points (38-36–74) over 52 games and won a bronze medal with Canada at the 2026 World Juniors. The first player to arrive at the rink and the last one to leave, Greentree took the step of being more involved in the community this past season. In addition to volunteering at minor hockey practices, he took a lead role in the team’s participation in the Goodfellows paper drive, helping raise $2500 to support local people in need of assistance with food and housing. Greentree finished the season third in Spitfires franchise all-time goal-scoring with 148 over his four-year career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Former OHL Team(s): <\/b>Soo Greyhounds, Cornwall Royals, NorthBay Centennials<\/span><\/p>\n

Years in the OHL: <\/b>1985-1989<\/span><\/p>\n

Current Occupation: <\/b>Territory Sales Representative<\/span><\/p>\n

Steve Bisson\u2019s journey from the Ontario Hockey League to the wine and spirits industry is one built on discipline, passion, and a commitment to continuous growth.<\/span><\/p>\n

After his time in the OHL, Bisson continued to play hockey at the professional level, appearing in a few games in the American Hockey League (AHL) with the Sherbrooke Canadiens and later in the International Hockey League with the Fort Wayne Komets. He also represented Team Canada at the 1990-91 Spengler Cup, earning a silver medal on the international stage.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"

Steve Bisson 1986-87<\/p><\/div>\n

From the Ice to Industry<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cI had always wanted to get into the Wine & Spirits business, so I studied to become a sommelier. This helped me to get into the industry.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

That decision led him to Algonquin College, where he pursued his sommelier certification while continuing to build on his academic foundation.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A Student of the Game and Beyond<\/b><\/p>\n

Bisson\u2019s time in the OHL helped shape both his athletic and academic mindset.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI had been a dedicated student in the OHL. Once I was done with high school, I began taking university courses.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, he applies that same discipline in his role as a Territory Sales Representative, working closely with licensees and LCBO locations to develop product listings and organize tastings with staff and ownership groups.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Shaped by the Game<\/b><\/p>\n

For Bisson, the lessons learned in the OHL continue to influence his everyday life.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the greatest values that still impacts me today is discipline and dedication to your craft. Always wanting to get better.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Those habits, developed during his junior career, have remained a constant in both his professional and personal pursuits.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"

Steve Bisson 1986-87<\/p><\/div>\n

A Memorable Moment<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cProbably my fondest memory is getting a hat trick as a defenceman in my third year in Cornwall against the Toronto Marlies.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

An Enduring Influence<\/b><\/p>\n

Bisson credits former assistant coach Brent Loney as someone who had a lasting impact on his career.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe was always positive and helpful, but truly wanted me to be successful. He gave me the confidence I needed to succeed. We are close friends even today.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A Lifelong Brotherhood<\/b><\/p>\n

Even years removed from his playing days, Bisson values the relationships formed through the OHL.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a great opportunity to run into former players and stay in touch. It\u2019s such a close-knit fraternity. We all enjoy hearing from each other.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Life Today<\/b><\/p>\n

Away from work, Bisson continues to stay active, carrying forward the same lifestyle he developed as an athlete.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

Steve Bisson 2024<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cI play pickup hockey, work out at the gym, and play tennis and pickleball. I\u2019m extremely active, and I think it\u2019s because that\u2019s what I was always used to when I was young.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Above all, his greatest pride lies with his family.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cToday, I\u2019m most proud of my two sons, Ben and Cam. They\u2019ve grown up to be such great human beings. Both are engaged, so extremely exciting times.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Advice for the Next Generation<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cFollow your passion with dedication, hard work and commitment. Those three words will help you in achieving your goals and showing employers your true worth.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Seven OHL-affiliated players captured the Ontario Junior Hockey League (OJHL) title on Saturday, winning the Buckland Cup with the Toronto Patriots.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Patriots secured the championship in Game 5 of the best-of-seven series, earning a decisive 5-2 victory.<\/span><\/p>\n

Newmarket opened the scoring with a power-play goal from Lucas Teixeira (Guelph\/Oshawa) in the first period, but the Patriots quickly answered with a tally from Tommy Karmiris (Brantford) and never trailed again.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cole Cooksey (Niagara) extended the lead with his 15th goal of the postseason, while Tate Collins (Barrie) sealed the win with an empty-net marker in the final minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n

With the victory, the Patriots advance to the 2026 Centennial Cup, representing the OJHL on the national stage in Summerside, Prince Edward Island, from May 7-17.<\/span><\/p>\n

Toronto will compete against champions from the eight other CJHL member leagues, along with host Summerside Western Capitals, for the National Junior A Championship.<\/span><\/p>\n
