Ottawa 67's News Release
OTTAWA - The Ontario Hockey League announced, today, that Ottawa 67's forward Logan Morrison, defenceman Pavel Mintyukov, and Head Coach Dave Cameron have been named to the league's First All-Star Team for the 2022-23 season.
Morrison, 20, joined the Barber Poles via trade from the Hamilton Bulldogs on January 7. The Guelph, Ontario native finished sixth in league scoring; with 40 goals and 54 assists, for 94 points in 56 games. He also went on to finish second among the 67's in playoff scoring, posting 10 goals and six assists, for 16 points in 11 games.
A former OHL playoff MVP, Morrison was finally rewarded for his outstanding junior career on April 11, when he signed a three-year entry-level contract with the NHL's Seattle Kraken.
Mintyukov, 19, led all defencemen in scoring during the 2022-23 OHL season, scoring 24 goals and 64 assists, for 88 points in 69 games, posting a +33 rating. He arrived in the nation's capital via trade with the Saginaw Spirit on January 10, and also went on to record nine assists, and a +3 rating in 11 postseason contests.
Drafted 10th overall by the Anaheim Ducks in 2022, Mintyukov has appeared in 136 OHL games, racking up 41 goals and 109 assists, for a total of 150 points. He became the ninth player in 67's history to win the Max Kaminsky Trophy, this season, as OHL Defenceman of the Year.
Cameron, 64, coached the 67's to a record-setting season, just his second with the team. The Charlottetown, PEI native guided Ottawa to a franchise-best 51 wins, and 107 points, earning the Hamilton Spectator Trophy as regular season champions, and surrendering a league-low 171 goals against. It was also a year of personal milestones for Cameron; who achieved his 400th OHL win, and coached in his 800th OHL game, moving him into fourth among active coaches in both categories.
Now a veteran of 816 OHL games, Cameron was named OHL Coach of the Year for the first time in his career, this season.
For all three men, this is the first time in their respective careers that they have earned First-Team All-Star honours.
