Preseason Week One Recap
Game One: Barrie Colts vs. Owen Sound Attack
Monday, September 1, 2025 - Sadlon Arena
The Barrie Colts opened their 2025 preseason with intensity in their first home matchup against the Owen Sound Attack. Despite controlling much of the play early, Barrie couldn't capitalize on their chances and fell 5-1 to a well-prepared Attack team. The Colts' lone goal came on the power play, with incoming forward Nicholas Desiderio finishing off a setup from Cole Beaudoin and Joe Salandra. Goaltenders Arvin Jaswal and Hagan Bach split duties in net, each facing steady pressure throughout the game.
Game Two: Barrie Colts vs. Brampton Steelheads
Thursday, September 4, 2025 - Sadlon Arena
Barrie bounced back in their second preseason game, earning a 3-2 shootout win over the Brampton Steelheads. Eron Mitchell opened the scoring with a perfectly timed redirect off a shot in the soft spot from Salandra, who earned his second point of the night. After Brampton responded with two quick goals, 2025 first-round pick Aleksandr Sementsov netted the equalizer-his first in a Colts uniform-assisted by Teague Vader and William Schneid. With the game still tied after regulation, the teams went directly to a shootout, as per OHL preseason rules. Salandra capped off a standout performance by scoring the shootout winner, securing the Colts' first victory of the 2025 exhibition schedule.
