General Game Notes: On November 7, 2025, the Ottawa 67’s hit the road to face the Erie Otters. The final score didn’t reflect how close the game truly was—Erie played a strong, competitive match but couldn’t solve 67’s goaltender #1 Ryder Fetterolf, who stood tall throughout. Jasper Kuhta (#22) led the way offensively with a goal and two assists, helping the 67’s secure a 5–2 victory.

Comments: Hughes is a highly skilled forward capable of making high-end plays with the puck. He can maneuver through the zone with ease, opening his hips, protecting the puck, and maintaining control even in traffic while keeping his head up to survey the ice. He shows excellent vision and a quick release, creating scoring opportunities for himself and teammates. At times, he tends to stay on the perimeter, and adding more ‘inside’ play (digging into the dirty areas) would elevate his offensive impact even further.
