Whelan’s relentless work ethic and community spirit align perfectly with the team’s values. They also added defenseman Jake LaMontagne (6’4”) and forward Ryan Hanutke, who lit up the scoresheet at a point-per-game pace. With 15 total picks, the Spitfires are building a roster of skilled, mentally tough players — some ready now, others destined to rise — all part of a long-term vision to dominate the OHL.
