Observations:

March 2013 - In 69 games with the Ottawa 67's and Owen Sound Attack, Cody Ceci finished second in OHL defensive scoring with 19 goals and 64 points. Ceci was also recognized in the OHL Western Conference Coaches Poll for his hard shot (3rd in voting) and was named the second best offensive defenseman. Brendan Ross

January 2013 - Cody Ceci has been traded from the Ottawa 67's of the OHL to the Owen Sound Attack just prior to the trade deadline. Ceci has had a trying season for the 67's (a poor team) and his game should see massive spikes, especially in the offensive level. Ceci is likely to be paired with defensive stalwart Nathan Chiarlitti and that should give him more room to wheel offenisvely.  The 2012 first round pick of the Senators, Ceci tallied 11 goals and 40 points for the Ottawa 67's with a minus-14 rating. In 238 games for the 67's, Ceci registered 41 goals and 146 points. Brendan Ross

October 2012 - Cody Ceci was named to the 2012 Subway Super Series Team OHL Roster slated to compete in a six-game series versus the Russian National Junior Team in November. Brendan Ross

June, 2012 - Bryan Murray's Ottawa Senators add a local boy playing in their own backyard with the Ottawa 67's in defenseman Cody Ceci using the 15th overall selection. Brendan Ross

February, 2012  – A big blueliner who is quick to join the rush, Cody Ceci makes a good first pass and is a contributor at both ends of the rink. Despite ideal NHL size, he lacks the natural aggression and physicality of a prototypical 6-foot-3 rearguard, which could stunt his progression. Good offensive instincts and a heavy shot have allowed Ceci to average a point per game in 2011-12. John Canario

Fantasy Outlook: B+
His OHL production may have keeper leaguers salivating but beware - his numbers are almost certainly inflated playing on a powerhouse Ottawa 67’s team.
