From exciting draft picks to key returnees, it’s shaping up to be a competitive roster. The team has officially announced its 2025 preseason roster ahead of the upcoming OHL exhibition schedule — and there’s a mix of new blood and seasoned vets ready to go.

A total of 29 players have been named, including 16 forwards, 9 defensemen, and 4 goaltenders.
Among the new faces are several high-profile picks from the 2025 OHL Priority Selection. First-rounder John McLaughlin leads the pack, joined by second-round pick Ian Inskip and fifth-rounder Caden Harvey.
Key returning players like Owen Outwater and Joey Costanzo are back, bringing leadership and valuable experience to the preseason lineup.
“Some tough decisions for (GM) Billy Bowler and his staff,” said head coach Greg Walters. “We got a real good team.”
Walters says nine players will be heading to NHL camps soon giving some of the younger guys a chance to show they belong on the final roster. Until then here is a look at the pre-season roster.
