the 2014–15 season marked dale hawerchuk's fifth season behind the barrie colts bench. with last season's captain aaron ekblad lost to the florida panthers, there was a large void on defense. partway through the season overage forward joseph blandisi was named the sixteenth captain in franchise history. the season was one of highs and lows for the colts franchise, with many individual records being set. captain joseph blandisi, kevin labanc, and andrew mangiapane all broke the 100 point mark having scored 112, 107, and 104 points respectively. this marked the first time in franchise history that 3 players scored 100+ points in the same season. captain blandisi also became the second colt to score over 50 goals, scoring 52 by season end. he also set a franchise mark for insurance goals, and fell one shy of the franchise record of short-handed goals with 10. kevin labanc broke the franchise record for assists with 76, brendan lemieux set the franchise mark for power play goals with 25, and andrew mangiapane tied the franchise mark with 5 short-handed assists. first-year import defenceman rasmus andersson led the colts backend with 12 goals and 52 assists for a total of 64 points and goaltending prospect mackenzie blackwood once again was solid for the colts in goal. the colts made a few trades before the deadline, mostly to shore up their sometimes shaky defence, bringing in brandon prophet, chad baumann, ben harpur as well as forward stephen nosad. in the playoffs, the colts made quick work of the belleville bulls, sweeping the series. they once again met the north bay battalion in the second round. the series held promise as both teams finished the season with 85 points; the colts winning the central division based on a better win record. for the second straight year the colts could not solve the battalion system, losing the series in 5 games.
