OHL’s Draft Eligible Statistical Leaders: February

A lot of talk has gone on this season, present company not excluded, about the lack of quality at the top of the 2019 National Hockey League Draft coming out of the Ontario Hockey League. And that might be the case, but there is some quality in the mid-rounds. Yet 2019 may just have the fewest OHL players selected in years.
