The Erie Otters continued a busy offseason Monday as the team and 2025 OHL Draft first-round pick Jake Murray agreed on an OHL Scholarship and Development Agreement.

The Otters was selected 12th overall. Murray suited up in 28 games for the Huron-Perth Lakers. He registered 14 goals and 39 points.

"We are very excited to be officially adding Jake and the Murray family to the Otters," said Erie Otters director of hockey operations Scott Grieve. "Jake plays a heavy, power-forward type of game and makes life hard on his opponents. Jake goes to the areas that are uncomfortable and has touch around the net. We are thrilled with the addition of Jake to our group as we look to continue to be hard to play against. We are excited to work with Jake on his continued development both on and off the ice."
