The Ottawa 67’s have announced head coach Dave Cameron will remain behind the bench for another two years.

Cameron signed a contract extension on Tuesday, keeping him with the team through the 2027-28 season.

“Dave is an exceptional coach,” said Ottawa 67’s general manager Jan Egert in a news release. “His mentality, passion and commitment to the 67’s give our group the platform to grow and develop on and off the ice. We are thrilled to continue to have his guidance and leadership in our organization for the coming years.”

Cameron has been named OHL Coach of the Year twice and reached a milestone 1,000 OHL games behind the bench during the 2025-26 season.

“Signing Dave to a multi-year extension reaffirms our commitment to excellence,” said 67’s president Adrian Sciarra. “Alongside our coaching and hockey operations staff, Dave has been a leader in what we’ve accomplished, and we look forward to him continuing to build on that success in the future.”

Ottawa finished this past season with 47 wins and won the Dave Pinkney Trophy, allowing a league-low 160 goals against, and went on to the second round of the OHL playoffs before losing the series against the Barrie Colts.

In addition to coaching the 67’s, Cameron was also the head coach for the gold medal winning Team Canada at the 2022 World Junior Hockey Championships.
