Toronto, ON - The Ontario Hockey League in association with the Canadian Hockey League today announced several roster changes for Team OHL that will compete in the 2014 SUBWAY© Super Series.

A trio of Oshawa Generals have been added to Game 3 of the series November 13 in Peterborough including Vancouver Canucks forward prospect Cole Cassels, goaltender Ken Appleby, and defenceman 2015 NHL Draft prospect Mitchell Vande Sompel.

A third round pick in the 2013 NHL Draft, Cassels is currently tied for fourth in OHL scoring with 28 points in 16 games.
