Jacob Steinman wasn’t drafted into the Ontario Hockey League. In fact, during his draft year, back in 2020, the Cambridge goalie says he didn’t even have a single conversation with an OHL scout. “Like everybody I was hoping to get drafted,” he said. “I didn’t really talk to anybody, so I didn’t know what to expect. I just knew that if I didn’t get drafted it wasn’t the end of the world.”Being bypassed simply lit a fire under the 16-year-old.

Patience. That’s the secret to growing strawberries. Those plump and juicy red darlings that make a brief appearance for about three weeks annually take a year — and a lot of effort — to create. And that takes, well, patience. “And a lot of care,” said Michelle Herrle, of Herrle’s Country Farm Market in St. Agatha. “What we will harvest this year, was planted last year.”Millions will be plucked at pick-your-own patches — like Herrle’s — in the coming weeks.

Kitchener Rangers fans have been hearing about the promise of Slovak Tomas Pobezal for two years. Now, they’re likely going to get a chance to see it, only it won’t be as a Ranger at the Aud. That’s because on Monday Kitchener dealt the rights to the NHL-draft-eligible forward to the Kingston Frontenacs. The deal sees Kitchener acquire Kingston’s first-round pick in this year’s Canadian Hockey League import draft (44th overall) and a conditional eighth-round pick in the 2029 OHL draft.

The Kitchener Rangers have made their first off-season signing, and it’s a big one. The Ontario Hockey League team inked centre Adam Valentini on Thursday in a move that was a long time coming. The Blueshirts acquired Valentini’s rights from the Mississauga Steelheads this past September, knowing that last year’s first round pick (13th overall) was going to spend the entire season with the Chicago Steel in the United States Hockey League.
