The two previous announcements, for Piccirillo & Trench, stated "have signed" for the 2026-27 season yet this one for Colbert states signed a "New Recruit Agreement" for 2026-27 season. Could someone please shed some light on this? Why is there difference in the wording? Does it have something to do with Colbert being 17 years old and the previous two were 18 years old? I am just curious, hope someone can explain this.
Not the biggest kid but 27 pts in 30 games last season and 17 pts in 21 games this season is pretty good numbers for a 17 year old.
Marty.... I googled a New Recruit Agreement and this is what I found...
A New Recruit Agreement (often referred to as a Standard Player Agreement or SPA) for a junior hockey player is a legally binding document between a player (and their parent/guardian if under 18) and a junior hockey team. This agreement confirms the player's commitment to the team, outlines the permissible benefits they will receive (such as housing, equipment, or education funds), and authorizes the team to register the player with the governing hockey association (e.g., Hockey Canada).

Not to bad for a 17 yr old, still has room to grow a little more
