67's Send Off Regular Season in Style
Ottawa hockey fans have plenty to cheer about as the Ottawa 67's capped off their regular season with a convincing win over the Kingston Frontenacs, a result that does more than just tick a box in the standings. It sends a message heading into the Ontario Hockey League playoffs.
The victory served as both a season finale and a confidence-building tune-up, giving head coach and management a final look at their roster before the intensity of playoff hockey takes over.
What the Win Means for the Playoffs
Ending the regular season with a win is always meaningful for a team's momentum and mindset. For the 67's, it's a chance to carry positive energy into what they hope will be a deep postseason run. Players who may have been working through late-season slumps got one last opportunity to find their footing, while the team's top performers had a chance to sharpen their game.
The Frontenacs, a familiar OHL rival from just down the 401 in Kingston, have always been a solid measuring stick for Ottawa squads. A win over them, regardless of where both teams sit in the standings, carries weight in the locker room.
A Season to Build On
For Ottawa residents and 67's faithful who pack TD Place throughout the winter, this team has been one of the city's most consistent sports stories. The 67's have built a competitive roster with a blend of veteran OHL experience and exciting young talent, and the playoff atmosphere at TD Place is something that makes spring hockey in Ottawa genuinely special.
The Barber Poles have a tradition of rising to the occasion come playoff time, and this season's group will be looking to add to that legacy. Ottawa fans know better than anyone that regular season records only tell part of the story: it's what happens in April and May that gets remembered.
What to Watch in the Playoffs
As the bracket takes shape, keep an eye on the 67's special teams, power play efficiency and penalty killing have historically been the difference-makers in tight OHL playoff series. Goaltending depth will also be critical, as the grind of a long postseason run demands consistent performances between the pipes.
For Ottawa sports fans juggling Senators games and 67's hockey, spring is shaping up to be a busy and exciting season. TD Place will be rocking, and there's no better time to grab tickets if you haven't already experienced playoff 67's hockey.
Get Out to TD Place
Playoff tickets typically move fast for the 67's, so Ottawa fans should keep an eye on the team's official channels for series schedules and ticket availability as the bracket is confirmed. There's nothing quite like the energy of a playoff crowd in the nation's capital rallying behind their OHL squad.
