PICKERING- Ben Pickell , 16 year old born forward from Clarington, Ontario has committed to playing for the Panthers for 21-22 Season. 3rd Round Pick from the Barrie Colts, plans to play a solid role while still learning on how to play with the older players. " He is arguably was one of the most skilled players in OMHA-ETA, when we started talking to him it looked like a perfect fit." Coach/GM Rob Pearson said. 

Ben will be suiting up for Cats in exhibition and when the regular season begins he will wear #15, most recently worn by Rocco Andreacchi who had 27 goals in his overage year.
