BRANTFORD, ONTARIO. Brantford Bulldogs General Manager Matt Turek announced today the signing of forward Briir Long to an OHL Scholarship & Development Agreement.
Long, a North Bay product, recently skated in the GOJHL Top Prospects showcase in Ayr representing the St. Thomas Stars where the offensively gifted forward has posted an incredible 24 goals & 14 assists for 38 points in just 30 games in his first-year of junior eligibility.
