The London Nationals are proud to announce the signing of forward Brandt Rooyakkers for the 2026-27 season.
The London, Ontario native joins the Nationals after a strong 2025-26 season with the Peterborough Petes U18 AAA, where he recorded 7 goals and 17 assists for 24 points in 29 regular-season games.
Rooyakkers continued to elevate his play in the postseason, adding 3 goals and 8 assists for 11 points in 11 playoff games.
A smart and dependable forward, Rooyakkers brings high-end playmaking ability, hockey IQ, and a strong 200-foot game to the Nationals lineup. He is responsible in all three zones and consistently makes intelligent reads with and without the puck.
His ability to create offence while remaining committed defensively makes him a valuable two-way presence. Rooyakkers sees the ice well, distributes the puck effectively, and plays with the kind of awareness and responsibility that allows him to contribute in a variety of situations.
During the 2025-26 season, Rooyakkers also saw action with the Lindsay Muskies of the OJHL and appeared in a game with the Peterborough Petes of the OHL, where he recorded a goal and an assist.
With his playmaking ability, hockey sense, and commitment to playing the game the right way in all three zones, Rooyakkers adds another intelligent and well-rounded forward to the Nationals group.
The London Nationals are excited to welcome Brandt Rooyakkers to the Nationals family for the 2026-27 season.
