The Peterborough, Ontario native joined the Muskies last season as a 16-year old out of the Peterborough Petes Minor Midget 'AAA' program, having being selected by the hometown OHL club in the 13th round, 242nd overall, of the 2013 OHL Priority Selection.  DeNoble would notch 16 points while playing in all 53 regular season contests for the Muskies last year and returned this year as one of the club's leaders both on and off the ice.  Now 17, DeNoble has led the club in scoring for most of the season, currently sitting with 28 goals and 55 points in 48 games played to sit tied for fifth overall in the league goal scoring race and eighteenth overall in the points race.  DeNoble's efforts this season earned a spot on Team OJHL Hawerchuk, finishing as runner-up at the 2014 Central Canada Cup All-Star Challenge held in Toronto.

Congratulations to Logan, who played his first OHL game on Thursday, February 9 during a 9-4 loss to the Guelph Storm.
