Cole Dubowsky is traded
Seeking some grit and grind at the forward position, the Windsor Spitfires of the Ontario Hockey League have secured Sudbury product Cole Dubowsky from the Barrie Colts for a future 11th round draft pick.
A 6 foot, 185 pound left winger with a 2007 birth date, Dubowsky played in 27 games for Barrie over parts of two OHL seasons with a single assist on the score sheet. He was picked by Barrie in the seventh round of the 2023 OHL priority selections draft from his hometown Sudbury Jr. Wolves of the Great North Under 18 Hockey League.
Notably, Dubowsky — who carries a reputation as a character kid with a sandpaper side to him — has a strong supporter in Mark Seidel, who is currently the Spitfires’ director of player personnel. It was Seidel — as Barrie’s head scout at the time — who drafted Dubowsky for the Colts.
