The Brantford Bulldogs Are an Absolute Wagon

The Brantford Bulldogs have opened the season with a remarkable 13-0-2-1 record, boasting a +49 goal differential. It seems no one can slow them down in the Ontario Hockey League right now.

The Bulldogs dominate in every aspect: they pile on goals, thrive on the power play, and consistently add points in the standings. Their record might not be flawless, but it is close to perfection. Through 16 games, they have earned points in every contest, yet to lose in regulation time.

Brantford’s offense has been unstoppable, putting up an incredible 88 goals — an average of 5.5 per game. Their power play sits at a phenomenal 40.4% success rate, leading the league by a wide margin.

Leaders on the Ice

Captain Jake O’Brien, who recently returned from his NHL training camp, tops the OHL leaderboard with 24 assists and 32 points in 14 games. Averaging 2.28 points per game, the NHL’s 8th overall pick from the last draft makes high-level play look effortless.

Meanwhile, forward Marek Vanacker, selected in the first round by the Chicago Blackhawks in 2024, has already scored 15 goals in 14 games, converting on 23% of his shots — an elite rate by any measure.

“The Brantford Bulldogs cannot be stopped. You can’t stop them from scoring. You can’t stop them on the power play.”

Summary

The Bulldogs’ near-perfect start, powered by O’Brien’s playmaking and Vanacker’s scoring, cements Brantford as a juggernaut in the OHL and possibly the best team in all junior hockey this year.

Author’s summary: Brantford’s explosive offense, elite power play, and outstanding leadership have made them the undisputed force of the junior hockey season.
