“Hailing from Ottawa, Ontario, McDonald joined the Otters prior to the start of the 2022-23 season. A former third round pick in the 2022 OHL U18 Priority Selection, he spent the past two seasons with the Otters playing in 132 games, finding the back of the net 25 times and adding 28 assists. 35 of those points points came last season when he became a valuable option in the Otters bottom-6.
