This offseason, the Ottawa 67s made some pretty significant changes. They hired James Boyd away from the Mississauga Steelheads and installed him as their new General Manager. They also named André Tourigny as the team’s new head coach. Tourigny will be familiar to Colorado Avalanche fans as he spent two seasons with the Avs serving as an assistant to Patrick Roy.
After finishing eight games below .500 last season, it’s a fresh start for an organization that has been in limbo for the past few seasons. With a lot of turn-around, one thing that remains constant on the team is their captain - and Avalanche prospect - Travis Barron, who will try to act as a stabilizing presence as he looks to take the next step in his development.
