"Ben Danford had been a heart and soul player for the Oshawa Generals over the last few seasons, playing a responsible, hard-nosed game while serving as the club's captain in 2024-25 into the beginning of the 2025-26 season. He helped lead the Generals to back-to-back OHL finals, ultimately coming up short against Easton Cowan and the London Knights both times, but nothing lasts forever in the cyclical world of junior hockey."
"The deal saw Danford and fellow bruising blueliner Zackary Sandhu joining the Bulldogs in exchange for forward Aidan O'Donnell, defencemen Lucas Moore and Luca Diplacido, along with nine draft picks. In one fell swoop, Danford and Sandhu have gone from toiling near the bottom of the OHL standings to playing for the top team in the league"
Ben Danford served as captain and a hard-nosed, responsible presence for the Oshawa Generals, helping lead them to back-to-back OHL finals in 2024-25 and 2025-26 before the team struggled early in the following season. Danford was traded to the Brantford Bulldogs along with Zackary Sandhu in exchange for Aidan O'Donnell, Lucas Moore, Luca Diplacido and nine draft picks. The move sent Danford from a team near the bottom of the standings to the league's top club, where he immediately contributed assists, teamed with Leafs prospect Sam McCue, and improved his plus-minus markedly over two games.
