Peterborough's Lucas Moore Wins OHL Championship With Hamilton Bulldogs

Add an Ontario Hockey League (OHL) championship to the young hockey career of Peterborough’s Lucas Moore as the Hamilton Bulldogs defeated the Windsor Spitfires in Game 7, 6-1 on Wednesday night.

The Bulldogs won their second title following their 6-1 win. They last won during the 2017-18 season against the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds and placed third in the following Memorial Cup. Photo courtesy of Emmad Fajem.

The top-seeded Bulldogs won the J. Ross Robertson Cup suffering only three playoff game losses (all to the Spitfires) en route to their second title in five years.

They swept the Peterborough Petes, Mississauga Steelheads and Brampton Batallion to reach the OHL final.

Moore was only dressed for one playoff game in game three of the finals in a 6-3 losing effort to the Spitfires. The loss gave the Spitfires team a 2-1 series lead. He did not register a point in his lone playoff game.

The Peterborough defenseman was drafted in the fourth round, 66th overall by the Bulldogs in the 2021 OHL priority selection.

He registered three goals and seven assists in 34 games in his OHL rookie season with the Bulldogs. Moore had his homecoming game against the Petes on Nov. 18 where the Bulldogs beat Peterborough 10-6 in an offensive flurry from both teams.

Moore celebrated his 17th birthday eight days before winning with the Bulldogs.

Former Pete Mason McTavish also won with the Bulldogs after being traded from Peterborough on Jan. 9.
