The Barrie Colts selected Rhodes 115th overall at the 2016 OHL Priority Selection Draft.  He joined the Colts roster during the 2017-18 season, where he totalled three goals as a rookie through 45 games. Last season, as a sophomore, Rhodes would land a roster spot and improved with nine goals and six assists in 67 games.

Rhodes finished his time in Barrie playing in 121 regular-season games and totalled 12 goals and seven assists in that time. Colts fans will remember him for his hard effort on the ice and for being excellent in the community. Last season, when we did player interviews for Colts Quick Cuts, Sam was one of the first players Ryan Noble had the chance to interview. Here is that episode.

While it is never easy to see a player go, we look forward to seeing how Rhodes continues to grow as a player in the USHL, and we would like to wish him the best of luck moving forward! Thank you for your time and hard work here in Barrie.
