| GM Rich Ricci announces today that Justin Troiani is off to the NCAA and Williams College. |
| 05/15/2008 |
"Justin will be sorely missed on our blueline and in our dressing room. His leadership, dedication and infectious personality were some of his stronger assets along with his tremendous on ice talents. Justin was a member of Team Canada, Top Prospects, OPJHL AllStar and OPJHL Player of the Year. Justin turned down several Division 1 offers looking for the best fit academically. Williams College is world renown and is a top liberal arts school in the United States. We wish Justin the best and he should be most proud of his accomplishments here in the last couple years."
With respect to other players......Ricci adds "I expect more potential announcements. A number of players will be playing in the NCAA either in '08 or '09 as they sort through offers and assess the best fits individually. These include Rich Ryan, Greg Miller, Dave Stevens, Thomas Bark, Tyler Forbes and Adam Micieli. Our 90/91 group is very strong having Axell and D'Agostino committed to Cornell for '09. I fully expect the other 90/91's to make the jump to the NCAA for '09 or '10. I am very proud of last years team and of the 27 players we had last year, 3 split time in Major Junior, 1 in Pro Lacrosse and I srongly believe of the other 23, 22 are currently or will end up in the NCAA and 1 to the OUA."

| Buzzers Season Recap |
| 04/05/2008 |
The 2007-08 season ended on a disappointing note but is not to be over looked by team and individual accomplishments.
The team posted record highs in wins (43) points (88) goals for (291) and fewest losses (4). A remarkable 37 game streak without a regulation loss between mid-September to mid-January was a remarkable feat.
The Buzzers were represented well internationally with Brandon Burlon, Justin Troiani and Louke Oakley representing Team Canada at the World Junior A Challenge.
Similarly, at the CJHL Prospects Game Greg Miller was named MVP and was joined by teammates Justin Troiani, Nick D'Agostino and Erik Axell.
At the Young Stars All Star Game, Kyle Pereira was named MVP. In the Junior A All-Star Game, the Buzzers were represented by Coach Rich Ricci, Fred Cassiani, Rich Ryan, Justin Troiani and Cory Gershon.
OPJHL league award winners included Coach of the Year to Rich Ricci and Most Gentlemanly to Rich Ryan.
Justin Troiani has been nominated as OHA Player of the Year putting him in the pool for Canadian Junior A Player of the Year.
Fred Cassiani set the Buzzer games played mark (166).
Eric Rubino set the modern day goal mark (41).
Cory Gershon set new goalie records with wins (34) games (40), minutes (2390).
Cassidy Preston set new game records with assists (6) and points (9).
In June at the NHL Draft, Brandon Burlon will likely have his name called on Day 1 in Ottawa. The Buzzers are hoping that they hear the names of a few other players on Day 2.
