  • 19-year-old invite Erik MacNiel was a seventh-round pick of North Bay in the 2019 OHL draft. MacNiel spent last season with the OJHL's Cobourg Cougars and Wellington Dukes.
  • 17-year-old invite Jett McCullum was a sixth-round pick of Blainville-Boisbriand in 2020. The Moncton native spent last season in the OJHL with the Aurora Tigers and put up decent numbers for a defenseman (three goals and 20 points in 45 games).
