BRAMPTON, ON — The Brampton Steelheads have signed right-winger Keaton Ardagh, their 15th overall pick in the 2025 OHL Priority Selection. The 6-foot, 163-pound forward from Clarington, Ontario, played for the Toronto Jr. Canadiens U16 AAA team last season.

Ardagh recorded 45 points (24 goals, 21 assists) in 28 regular-season games. He added 3 assists in the OHL Cup play-in and contributed 6 points (3 goals, 3 assists) over seven games, helping the Jr. Canadiens secure the OHL Cup Championship.

“Keaton is a big solid forward with above average offensive abilities, but he is also very conscious of his defensive responsibilities,” said Steelheads Head Coach and General Manager James Richmond. “He has the ability to drive a line from the winger’s position. We look forward to seeing Keaton in the Steelheads uniform in September.”

Ardagh joins a lineage of Steelheads players who previously played for the Jr. Canadiens, including Porter Martone, Carson Rehkopf, Finn Harding, and Jack Van Volsen.
