The 67’s will feature more talent up front this year with the addition of Graeme Clark who was picked sixth overall in the draft. He had 36 goals in 33 games with the Toronto Marlboros in the GTHL. The Ottawa native was happy to hear that he was returning home to play and comes with a lot of hype as one of the best goal scorers in the OHL priority selection draft.

In the second round, the team selected another hometown forward, Jack Quinn who had 52 points in 45 games in his draft year.

It will be a mixture of youthful talent and a new defensive system under Tourigny who comes with quality experience from the QMJHL and stints in the NHL.
