Sima, 20, was selected 27th overall in the second round of the 2021 OHL Priority Selection. He began his OHL career with the North Bay Battalion and was traded to the Saginaw Spirit in November 2022.

"Nic is an energetic player, with a physical presence and competitive spirit. He is hard to play against and has the ability to create his own offence," said Ottawa 67's General Manager, Jan Egert. "Nic has experienced the feeling of winning a Memorial Cup and the intensity of competing in the OHL Playoffs. We look forward to his leadership contributions with our group."
