''The Ottawa 67s are one of the members of the Ontario Hockey League, one of the major Canadian junior hockey leagues. The formation of the team coincides with a special date in Canadian history. Canada became a country in 1867, and the formation of the Ottawa 67s 100 years later in 1967 was meant to celebrate this. Since Ottawa is Canada’s capital and hockey is so deeply intertwined in Canada’s national history, the very existence of the Ottawa 67s is in many ways symbolic of that history. Despite somewhat rocky beginnings, the Ottawa 67s now find themselves as one of the best junior hockey teams in the country, regularly ranked at or near the top of their league. Since the 67s are a junior hockey team, all players are between 16 and 20 years of age, and some team members are even in their rookie seasons as pros. Thanks to StubHub, all fans can become a part of the action. Just get your Ottawa 67s tickets at StubHub today.'
'The Ottawa 67s junior hockey team has a great number of talented young players on its roster. Some of these include goaltenders Cedrick Andree and Will Cranley; defensemen Noel Hoefenmayer, Kevin Bahl, Teddy Sawyer, Anthony Costantini and Ranvir Gill-Shane; and forwards Jack Beck, Brenden Sirizzotti, Thomas Johnston, Yanic Crete, Adam Varga and Austen Keating. Cranley, Sawyer, Costantini, Gill-Shane, Beck, Sirizzotti, Johnston and Crete are all rookie players in the professional leagues as well.'

Tribute Communities Centre,
North Bay Memorial Gardens

''Yes. The most prominent of these is probably the 67s' long rivalry with Gatineau Olympiques, a junior hockey team that is part of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. Over the years, the rivalry has been ignited and reignited many times.'
