The Ontario Hockey League handed out its annual business awards to close out the 2025 OHL business meetings held on Tuesday and Wednesday at Hockley Valley Resort and the Barrie Colts came out as one of the winners.

New this season, the OHL expanded its list of annual business awards from two up to 10, covering a range of different categories.

The Barrie Colts won the Content Team of the Year Award. 

"The Colts maximized their resources and covered the story of a competitive season from day one of training camp to their elimination in the Eastern Conference final," the league stated in a news release.

The Colts produced a season-long docu-series titled Gates Open that followed the progress of the team behind the scenes on YouTube.

The local team's manager of social media and media relations, Collin Jennings, partnered with content creators Brennen Suni, Josh Kim, James Spizzirri, Tucker Nadon, Liam Mabley and Amber Weiss.

The Ottawa 67's won the inaugural Content Team of the Year Award in 2023-24.
