The 2025 second-round pick made his debut for the Brantford Bulldogs a memorable one.
In his first game with the Bulldogs he casually put up three assists as Brantford built a 6-1 lead over Sudbury. Then, shorthanded in the third period, Benak scored his first OHL goal, and it was nothing if not spectacular.
