Biography [edit]
Born and raised in Ottawa, Ceci is the son of retired Canadian Football League receiver and 1984 Vanier Cup MVP Parri Ceci.[1] He left Ottawa at the age of 13 to attend Lakefield College School, a private boarding institution just north of Peterborough, Ontario.[2]
With the Ottawa 67's in 2011-12, Ceci finished second in scoring amongst all OHL defenseman with 60 points.[3] So eager was Ottawa Senators' GM Bryan Murray to select Ceci that he contacted three different teams early in the 2012 draft in an effort to move up and take the defenseman before another team could. "I honestly never thought he would be available at 15," said Murray.[4] On August 23, 2012, Ceci signed a three-year entry level contract with the Senators.[5]
On January 8, 2013, in an effort to overtake the London Knights in the OHL's Western Conference, the Owen Sound Attack obtained Ceci from the 67's. Ceci did not have NHL callup rights and was thus able to finish the season in junior.[6]
Other [edit]
While playing with the Ottawa 67's, Ceci also attended Carleton University.[7]
