Bradley Gardiner (F, R, 6'1", 191, Barrie Colts, 03/06/2005, Cornell)

A member of the OHL's Barrie Colts, Gardiner played an integral role this year, putting up 31 goals and 65 points and helping his team make a run to the OHL final. He will play for Cornell next season.

Gardiner's quick reads help him make an impact.

"Gardiner excels as a two-way forward, showcasing his skills through his work ethic and physicality. He consistently engages opponents in puck battles, utilizing an active stick to gain possession. In the defensive zone, Gardiner reads plays well, anticipating passes and disrupting them effectively. He is also capable of scoring goals, demonstrating speed and agility on breakaways."

"In 2022, Rolling Stone ranked it the 10th-best TV theme song of all time, calling it an "earworm" that is "somehow every theme song, from every genre."
