Philadelphia Flyers prospects Oliver Bonk and Denver Barkey were named to two of the OHL's three All-Star teams on Tuesday.
Bonk, who was drafted 22nd overall by the Flyers in 2023, was named to the OHL's First All-Star Team, enjoying an excellent season of 24 goals and 43 assists across 60 games in the regular season, along with seven goals and nine assists in the postseason.
Bonk also became an indispensable part of the Knights' powerplay, slotting into a "bumper" role that proved incredibly productive for the defenseman and, naturally, earned him the nickname "Bumper Bonk."
Barkey, who was drafted 95th overall by the Flyers in 2023, also enjoyed a stellar regular season, totaling 102 points (35 goals, 67 assists) during the regular season, adding six goals and 21 assists in the postseason.
A clear offensive weapon, Barkey established himself and his skillset this season, showcasing his creativity, vision, and boundless energy on the ice.
The pair have both signed their entry-level contracts—Bonk in August 2023, while Barkey just recently signed his in March of this year.
Coming off of an OHL Championship win, both players are currently with the Knights competing for the Memorial Cup.
