Now former Stouffville Spirit forward Tayjon Street has officially committed to the Sudbury Wolves of the Ontario Hockey League.

Street signed with the team Thursday then played in his fifth regular season game with the Wolves, a 1-0 win in Peterborough, that night.

Street, a 19-year-old from Toronto, skated with the Wolves and the London Knights during 2024 OHL training camps this fall.

He played in one regular season game with the Spirit in between OHL camps last month.

In 38 regular-season games and four playoff games with the Spirit last season, the hard-hitting Street had 21 points (eight goals, 13 assists) and 78 minutes in penalties. 

“Tayjon is an impact player both on and off the ice,” said Spirit Assistant General Manager Thayne Hallyburton. “He’s ferocious and fearless on the ice, taking on anything in his way and hunting down pucks as good as anyone.” 

“We are very proud of the player that he has turned into and are excited to see where he goes from here. We will miss him in the red and white though because he was such a pleasure to be around.”

“Tayjon has come in and been a tremendous teammate with a humble and amazing work ethic,” said Rob Papineau, Vice President and General Manager of the Wolves. “He has earned this signing and place on our team. He understands the continued commitment needed to contribute at this level. He genuinely appreciates everything and everyone and is the definition of a high-character teammate.”

Earlier this week, another Spirit forward, Riley Clark, signed with Kingston of the OHL. 

The OHL is one level above the Ontario Junior Hockey League, which the Spirit plays in
