He posted the highest point total by a 67s rookie since Jerrett DeFazios 71 points during the 1988-89 season. Konecny was selected first overall by Ottawa in the 2013 OHL priority selection draft. "Its an honour to be recognized in such a way and it really means a lot to me," Konecny said. "Id like to thank Coach Byrne and the entire Ottawa 67s staff for their help. Id also like to thank my teammates who welcomed me from the beginning and helped me day by day." Konecny earned OHL Rookie of the Month honours four of the six times it was awarded. He also served as Ontarios captain at the 2014 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge. "Travis had an exceptional first season in the Ontario Hockey League," said 67s coach and general manager Chris Byrne. "He quickly adjusted to the league, worked hard to get better and was a top player on our team and within the league. Travis has worked extremely hard to put himself in a position to win this award and deserves all the credit for doing so."
