To all the moms, billet moms and mother figures who support our players every step of the way - today, we celebrate you. Happy Mother’s Day from the Barrie Colts. 💐

@islanders_takes Trust me all real.

I watch a ton of OHL hockey. Nearly as much as I watch the NHL. I have friends still buried in organizations, coaching, in the offices. I hear stories about these kids. And I'm telling you that nothing has changed my mind on a player as much as the stories I've been told about Aitcheson. I was lukewarm on him. I said the pick was good value but I saw him as a giant project in a draft that wasn't renown for its depth. But I was told things about Aitcheson. And when you watch the Barrie Colts this year - you can see what I've been told happening in real time. I've been told repeatedly that this kid is a leader everywhere on that squad. Off ice, on ice, in the gym. I've been told that his intensity, his snarl, has infected that squad and those kids look up to him. The Colts up and down the roster are extremely physical. They contest every puck, every pass, every inch of the wall. I still believe they are far from the most talented team but they are swarming KIT all over the place and just punishing them all over. Two years ago and this team was a losing squad. The transformation has been effort first all the way. Aitcheson is visbly a huge, huge part of that.

"I've never seen anything like the team we have." Parker Von Richter and Head Coach Dylan Smoskowitz spoke about the team mentality of the @OHLBarrieColts in the third period and overtime following game two. #OHLChampionship | #KITvsBAR

With Kashawn Aitcheson on the blueline, Barrie’s focus this season helped them win the Ontario Hockey League’s Central Division with a 45-14-9 record, and wanting to punch its ticket to the Memorial Cup: tsn.ca/chl/ohl/articl…

@GeneralsUpdates Not really.

Lot of Barrie fans stuck their neck out for him and he immediately backpeddles on them lol

Dylan Smoskowitz speaks candidly on @OverDrive1050 about last night’s @OHLHockey press conference conversation and the emotions behind a Game 7 battle.

This was an embarrassing unforced error. The only option was to own it, apologize and vow to be better. The coach did that today. That is a very important but painful lesson he just taught his players. No blame shifting, no excuses. Congrats coach you set an excellent example.

An amazing talent and competitor. An even better person. It’s an absolute travesty he wasn’t named to the top 100 NHL players.
