Niagara IceDogs

We love Beijing.

Previous team, he was with the Niagara Ice Dogs.

He got traded either last season, the beginning or midseason to them from the...

Midseason.

I said that for the socials as well, but at all60chlpod as this goes off the rails early.

But I mentioned at the end of last week's show that we were going to go east to west, and this was going to be an OHL show this week with Steve Clark of the Niagara Ice Dogs.

But...

Our work schedules were a little screwed up, and luckily we will get Steve on next week.

And say, I got to carve my own path, but he's, he's, he's saying, and, and his dad's, you know, here's the hundreds.

Like his dad was Niagara ice dogs coach last year.

And, and, you know, they're not there anymore because Niagara seems to go through coaches like, uh, like crazy but um chris is going to help skills development with the knights this year so father and son get a chance to work together on the ice really nice

that's cool all right so what do you think our team strengths are going to be this season compared to other teams around the league this year

And the news is it's FM 985 and the Grand at 101.

At the start of the season, Steve Clark, who's known for calling games with the Niagara Ice Dogs, he's calling four of the first five radio games for the Kitchen Rangers.

And then J.C. Coots from Bayshore Broadcasting, he's going to call the game, I believe he's calling the game up in Owen Sound, which would make sense.

Sticking with some Owen Sound attack news, this time of year as training camps end and the season starts, there's so much going on.

They're, you know, only NHL or OHL eligible.

Rubrick will be returning to the Niagara Ice Dogs where hopefully he can put up numbers similar to what he did in 24, 25, not so much as of last year where it was kind of an injury shortened season for him.

Thought he looked all right in the prospect showcase, but pretty clear, you know, on a line with Sasha Boisvert and AJ Spellacy, guys who are more experienced and older than he is.

He was a little bit outgunned at the prospect showcase.

The shot volume is there, 297.

He is a 40-goal scorer all day, by the way, a good Niagara Ice Dog product.

Some will say he's a Kingston guy.

He's a Niagara Ice Dog as well.

96 points last year in the 82 games.

He has been so durable.

8th place, I have the Peterborough Peets.

Seventh place, I have the Niagara Ice Dogs.

Sixth place, I have the Kingston Frontenacs.

Fifth place, the North Bay Battalion.

He is a big boy for being an 18-year-old, and like I said, has some skill to go along with it.

Spent the last three years in the OHL playing for the Niagara IceDogs.

He's been above a point-per-game player each of the last two years.

However, his 24/25 season as a 17-year-old was much better than how he performed in 25/26 as an 18-year-old, and ultimately led to him falling into the second round of the 2026 draft, which, as a Blackhawks fan, I'm not too upset about, because I think Ryan Rubrik was a very worthwhile selection by the Blackhawks at number 35, because as a 17-year-old in the OHL, he was a 40/40 guy, just wasn't able to replicate the same numbers this past season.
