The Ottawa 67's (1-3-0) got their first win during their stay at Scotiabank Place on Saturday afternoon, an 8-1 blowout victory over the Erie Otters.  Tyler Graovac had a natural hattrick in the first eight minutes and seven seconds of the game to set the tone early.

67's lose Wilson to injury & game to Niagara

The Ottawa 67’s (0-3-0) remain winless after a doubly costly 4-2 loss to the Niagara Ice Dogs on Friday Night.  Goaltender Keegan Wilson left the game at the conclusion of the first period after tweaking his groin, and although Jacob Blair was solid in relief, Niagara’s offence was too much as they came back from a 2-0 deficit to defeat the home side.

67's drop Home Opener, 2012 second round re-match to Barrie

The Ottawa 67’s gave their largest crowd in nearly a decade a great show as franchise cornerstones Cody Ceci and Sean Monahan were dominant, but ultimately, the Barrie Colts were just too much for the Barberpoles.  Anthony Camara had a hat trick for the Barrie Colts, his third goal being the winner with 45 seconds left in the third period, as the visitors spoiled Ottawa’s first game of their Scotiabank Place stay by way of a 6-4 win.

67's Sweep Home-And-Home With Gatineau

With a second consecutive win over the Gatineau Olympiques to sweep the two-game preseason series, it's clear that the Ottawa 67's are able to put the puck in the net, but it's also clear that the key to this team's success will be on the penalty kill.
