OHL’s Draft Eligible End-of-Season Statistical Leaders

The 2023-2024 Ontario Hockey League regular season has concluded, and the opening round of the playoffs is underway. However, we still have unfinished business from the regular season to address before the NHL Entry Draft.

As the Entry Draft scheduled for June 28-29 at the Sphere in Las Vegas approaches, we reflect on players eligible for the draft and review stats from the regular season across various categories.

A trio of North Bay Battalion players dominates the leaderboard: Dalyn Wakely and Owen Van Steensel, both in their third and final year of draft eligibility and Anthony Romani, entering the draft for the second time. With this being the likely final chance for Wakely and Van Steensel to impress scouts, and Romani looking to improve on his previous draft year, it’s reasonable to expect increased production from these veterans.

As expected, defenseman Zayne Parekh had a strong offensive season and finished among the league leaders in points. With 26 more points than Sam Dickinson, Parekh may have done enough to surpass Dickinson as the top defenseman prospect for the upcoming draft in June, but that question remains unsettled. Or does it?

In the crease, two of NHL Central Scouting’s top North American goaltenders solidified their places in the draft. The only question that remains “Is Carter George or Ryerson Leenders first off the board?” Only time will tell.

Here’s a look at the leaders in several different categories. While we put great effort into compiling stats, please refer to the OHL website for official stats.
