2008-09: Cantin appeared in 62 games with the Belleville Bulls in his second full OHL season. He scored 1 goal with 14 assists and was +35 with 51 PMs on a Bulls team that won the OHL’s East Division and advanced to the semifinals of the OHL Playoffs. In 17 playoff games, he had 2 assists and was +5 with 26 PMs. Cantin was ranked 185th in Central Scouting’s final rankings of North American skaters but was not drafted in the 2009 NHL Draft.
2009-10: Cantin began the year with Belleville before being part of a blockbuster, mid-season deal that sent him to the eventual OHL and Memorial Cup-champion Windsor Spitfires. In 33 games with a young Bulls squad that would eventually finish with the OHL’s second-worst record, Cantin scored 1 goal with 7 assists and was -15 with 63 PMs. In 24 games with Windsor, he scored 2 goals, both on the power play, and had 5 assists and was +9 with 41 PMs. Cantin scored 3 goals with 3 assists and was +13 with 21 PMs in 19 OHL playoff games. In 4 games at the Memorial Cup tournament, Cantin scored 1 goal with 1 assist and had 2 PMs. Cantin attended Boston’s development camp following the season but was not signed to a contract.
2010-11: Cantin played for Mississauga St. Michael’s (OHL) in his final season of junior hockey after an August trade with Windsor. Mississauga dominated the regular season winning 53 games and advanced to the playoff finals before falling to Owen Sound. The fact that Cantin’s +43 plus/minus was only sixth-best (and third best amongst defensemen) on the Majors is a testament to the team’s regular season dominance. In 61 games for St. Mike’s Cantin scored 10 goals with 31 assists and had 78 PMs. In 20 OHL playoff games, Cantin had six assists and was +11 with 18 PMs. In the Memorial Cup, which Mississauga hosted, Cantin had two assists in five games as the Majors advanced to the championship game but were defeated by QMJHL champ Saint John.
