Toronto, Ont. – The Ontario Hockey League today announced that a total of 331 graduates utilized their OHL Scholarship at post-secondary institutions during the 2023-24 academic year. OHL member teams made a total contribution of over $3.2 million to the OHL Scholarship Program.

A total of 228 OHL graduates competed in the U SPORTS Men’s Hockey ranks this season, while an additional 26 accessed their scholarships while playing professionally.

Centrally administered through the OHL Office, OHL Scholarships are funded by OHL member teams. Every player who plays in the OHL is eligible to receive an OHL Scholarship. The OHL graduate can utilize their scholarship worldwide at any post-secondary institution or in any career-enhancing program of their choice, including trade schools or professional career training programs.

In addition to alumni accessing their OHL Scholarship following graduation from the League, all current OHL players are encouraged to enroll in post-secondary courses with costs fully covered by OHL member teams. Team investment in scholarships being accessed by current OHL players was approximately $450,000 during the 2023-24 season.

“Investing in the OHL Scholarship Program is a key part of the player experience, and it’s something that the OHL and its member teams take great pride in,” said Commissioner David Branch. “The education of our current and former players is crucial for their growth, and helping them achieve their academic goals is a top priority for our League. The OHL continues to source talent to both the National Hockey League and U SPORTS Men’s Hockey Programs, highlighting our dedication to developing well-rounded individuals on and off the ice.”

This year, 310 of the 331 OHL Scholarship recipients are furthering their education at Canadian Universities. A total of 183 graduates are attending Ontario-based Universities with the University of Guelph leading all post-secondary institutions with 22 OHL graduates enrolled in full-time studies, while 16 former OHL players are enrolled at Queen’s University and 15 are studying at Toronto Metropolitan University. A total of 64 OHL graduates are attending Universities in Eastern Canada with the University of New Brunswick and University of Prince Edward Island each leading the way in enrolment. Thirteen graduates have accessed their OHL Scholarship at Universities in Western Canada while three have attended Universities in Quebec.

A total of 25 OHL Scholarship recipients are attending Ontario-based Colleges with Conestoga College and Humber College each leading the way with three graduates.

Toronto, Ont. – The Ontario Hockey League completed the opening three rounds of the 2024 OHL Priority Selection presented by Real Canadian Superstore on Friday, with a total of 62 players hearing their names called to begin the proceedings that continue on Saturday morning, with Rounds 4-15 commencing at 9:00am.

The Priority Selection is being streamed live for free on OHL Live, and can also be viewed on YourTV, Rogers tv and Eastlink community stations.

Twenty-one players from across 11 different organizations were chosen in the first round of Friday’s first round.

The Windsor Spitfires kicked-off the proceedings with the selection of OHL Cup champion and MVP Ethan Belchetz of the Oakville Rangers, making him the second player to be chosen first overall in franchise history. Following in the 6-foot-5, 233lb. power-forward’s footsteps, Oakville teammates in Evan Headrick and Ryder Carey were swiftly picked back-to-back later in the first round, going 15th and 16th overall to the Kitchener Rangers and North Bay Battalion respectively.

Forwards in OHL Cup Finalist Alessandro Di Iorio of the Vaughan Kings (2nd overall, Sarnia) and hometown product Colin Fitzgerald (3rd overall, Peterborough) followed, while Braidy Wassilyn joined the Priority Selection’s Top-4 as Niagara’s 2024 first round choice.

The Sudbury Wolves claimed the first defenceman in this year’s Priority Selection, with Pittsburgh Penguins Elite rearguard and Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. native Luca Blonda going 12th overall. Meanwhile, the Ottawa 67’s made a notable move of their own by picking up Kohyn Eshkawkogan as the second blueliner off the board, selecting him 21st overall. He joined 11th overall selection Nathan Amidovski of the Barrie Jr. Colts to give the 67’s a pair of first round selections.

The first round consisted of 11 players chosen from the Greater Toronto Hockey League (GTHL), seven players selected from the Ontario Minor Hockey Association (OMHA), one player selected from the ALLIANCE, one from another Canadian U18 AAA program and one from a U.S.-based program.

The OHL Cup champion Oakville Rangers joined the Barrie Jr. Colts and North York Rangers with three players selected in the opening round of the OHL Priority Selection. Barrie led all teams through Friday’s opening three rounds, with a total of seven players selected followed closely by the Vaughan Kings, who had six.

A total of four players chosen in the first round were members of Team Canada’s fourth-place finishing team at the 2024 Youth Olympics in Gangwon, South Korea this past January including Alessandro Di Iorio (2nd overall, Sarnia), Braidy Wassilyn (4th overall, Niagara), Adam Valentini (13th overall, Mississauga) and Aiden O’Donnell (14th overall, Brantford).

Of the 21 players selected in the first round, 18 will be eligible for the 2026 NHL Draft. 12th overall pick Luca Blonda (Pittsburgh Penguins Elite), 19th overall pick Dimian Zhilkin (Saginaw Spirit) and 21st overall pick Kohyn Eshkawkogan (Ottawa 67’s) are late birthdays and won’t be NHL Draft eligible until 2027.

TORONTO, ON — The Canadian Hockey League (CHL) is proud to announce alongside the Western Hockey League (WHL) that Landon DuPont (Calgary, Alta.) has been granted Exceptional Player Status and is eligible to play in the WHL on a full-time basis beginning with the 2024-25 WHL Regular Season.

DuPont becomes the first defenceman and second player in WHL history to be granted Exceptional Player Status by Hockey Canada, following Connor Bedard. Since the exceptional status rule was created in 2005, there have been nine players and just three defencemen in CHL history who have been granted exceptional player status: forward John Tavares (2005; Oshawa Generals / London Knights / OHL), defenceman Aaron Ekblad (2011; Barrie Colts / OHL), forward Connor McDavid (2012; Erie Otters / OHL), defenceman Sean Day (2013; Mississauga Steelheads / Windsor Spitfires / Kingston Frontenacs / OHL), forward Joe Veleno (2015; Saint John Sea Dogs / Drummondville Voltigeurs / QMJHL), forward Shane Wright (2019; Kingston Frontenacs / Windsor Spitfires / OHL), forward Connor Bedard (2020; Regina Pats / WHL), forward Michael Misa (2022; Saginaw Spirit / OHL), and now defenceman Landon DuPont (2024; WHL).

“On behalf of the WHL Board of Governors, I would like to congratulate Landon on being the first defenceman in WHL history to be granted exceptional status by Hockey Canada,” commented WHL Commissioner Dan Near. “Landon is a fine young man, who not only possesses tremendous talent on the ice, but has been raised with solid moral character, a positive attitude, and a great work ethic. These attributes make him truly deserving of being among those exceptional players to come before him, and we look forward to him continuing his development in the WHL.”

The Exceptional Player Status process was administered by Hockey Alberta with a Hockey Canada Special Evaluation Panel, which reviewed DuPont’s hockey and academic documentation. The process also assessed DuPont’s level of maturity.

“Hockey Canada wishes to congratulate Landon DuPont and his family on the impressive achievement of becoming only the second player to be granted Exceptional Status into the WHL, and the ninth player in the entire CHL,” said Scott Salmond, Senior Vice-President of High Performance and Hockey Operations with Hockey Canada. “Landon not only boasts impressive hockey ability that will allow him to succeed in the WHL at a young age, but he also possesses the incredible maturity required to be an exemplary young person off the ice.”

An Exceptional Player must possess a level of mental, social, and emotional maturity that belies his age, along with hockey skills that greatly exceed those of other elite-level players both in their age group and among players several years older. For an individual who is granted exceptional status, they earn the rare privilege of participating in the CHL at an early age. It is believed their development is more likely to be enhanced significantly by playing in the CHL as a 15-year-old, than by participating in their designated age division.

Born May 28, 2009, the 14-year-old DuPont is eligible to be selected in the 2024 WHL Prospects Draft, which is scheduled for Thursday, May 9. 

A 5-foot-11, 170-pound right shot defenceman, DuPont spent the 2023-24 season playing for the Edge School U18 Prep squad in the Canadian Sport School Hockey League (CSSHL), where he recorded 62 points (19G-43A) in 30 regular season games to finish third in CSSHL U18 scoring. His 62 points led all blueliners and established a new CSSHL U18 Prep single-season scoring record for defencemen. DuPont added another 16 points (5G-11A) in five playoff games, tying the CSSHL U18 Championship scoring record held by former Edmonton Oil Kings and Seattle Thunderbirds star Dylan Guenther. DuPont’s record-tying performance earned him CSSHL U18 Prep Championship MVP honours as he helped Edge capture the CSSHL U18 title. 

“It is such an honour for me to receive Exceptional Player Status from Hockey Alberta and Hockey Canada. I’m extremely humbled to have received this designation,” DuPont said. “I would like to thank my family, all of my coaches, trainers, advisors, and most of all, my teammates, through my entire hockey journey for helping me get to this point. I’m excited to continue my development in the WHL and will work hard every day to continue to improve.”

“Congratulations to Landon DuPont on being the first-ever player from Alberta granted Exceptional Status with the Western Hockey League. Landon’s achievement is a testament to his skills, desire, and hard work,” said Rob Litwinski, CEO and President, Hockey Alberta. “It also reflects the commitment and effort of everyone involved in Landon’s hockey circle. This is a proud day for Landon, the DuPont family, and the staff and students at Edge School, and the entire Hockey Alberta community shares that pride.”

QUICK FACTS

• Of the seven exceptional status players who have graduated from the CHL, six of them were selected in the first round of the NHL Draft, including four players who were chosen first overall (Tavares, Ekblad, McDavid & Bedard)
• Of the seven exceptional status players who have graduated from the CHL, all seven of them were drafted and played games in the NHL, including four players who have earned selections to the NHL’s All-Star Game (Tavares, Ekblad, McDavid & Bedard)
• A total of seven exceptional status players have helped Team Canada earn a gold medal on the international stage, including at the World Juniors, World Championships, Olympics, and the Hlinka-Gretzky Cup
• Exceptional player status has been granted six times to OHL prospects, on two occasions in the WHL, and just once in the QMJHL
• DuPont becomes the first-ever player from the province of Alberta to be granted exceptional player status (among the previous eight players, five of them hailed from Ontario while the others were from Québec, British Columbia, and Michigan)

The CHL is the top supplier of talent to the NHL. At the beginning of the 2023-24 season, a total of 398 CHL graduates from its three member leagues (WHL, OHL & QMJHL) were among those named to the NHL’s Opening Night rosters, representing just over 50% of the players on the NHL’s 32 teams. Moreover, at the 2023 NHL Draft, 80 CHL players were selected (accounting for nearly 36% of all draft picks), the most of any development hockey league in the world. Dating back to 1969, the CHL has seen 10 or more of its players taken in the first round of the NHL Draft  – a streak now running at 55 consecutive drafts.

TORONTO, ON — The Val-d’Or Foreurs of the Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) will have the first overall selection in the 2024 CHL Import Draft, which is scheduled for Wednesday, July 3, 2024 at 11:00 a.m. ET. Following the Foreurs, the Kamloops Blazers of the Western Hockey League (WHL) will choose second, while the Windsor Spitfires of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) will select third (see the complete draft order below).

Val-d’Or, who will have the top pick of the draft for the first time since 2000, finished the 2023-24 regular season with a 15-48-3-2 record as they collected 35 points in 68 games. With its first-round selection in 2023, the Foreurs chose Czech forward Samuel Fiala with the fifth overall pick. The 18-year-old from Prostejov, Czechia, finished the season with 14 goals and 23 points in 60 games.

Holding the second overall pick for the first time in franchise history, the Kamloops Blazers wrapped up their latest campaign with a 20-42-3-3 record. At last year’s CHL Import Draft, the 2023 Memorial Cup hosts selected Czech defenceman Matteo Koci, who had five goals and 15 assists in 52 games. Koci was also one of 13 CHL players to represent Czechia at the 2024 IIHF World Junior Championship and help his country to a bronze medal at that tournament. Additionally, in that same 2023 draft, the Blazers also nabbed Czech blueliner Vojtech Vochvest at the end of the second round, who registered five points in 67 games with Kamloops this past season.

The Windsor Spitfires earned the third overall pick in the 2024 CHL Import Draft after winning the 2024 OHL Priority Selection Lottery. The Spitfires, who have selected third overall at a CHL Import Draft only once before in 1993, completed the regular season with an 18-42-5-3 record. With their first-round selection in 2023, Windsor drafted Czech defenceman Josef Eichler, who finished the 2023-24 campaign with five goals and 12 points in 64 contests. Eichler is listed as the 146th-ranked North American skater in the NHL Central Scouting Midterm Rankings ahead of the 2024 NHL Draft.

Russian and Belarusian players will be eligible for selection in the 2024 CHL Import Draft and they will be able to play in the CHL as long as they are granted the necessary visa that they require to enter and play hockey in North America. In addition to this change to the CHL Import Draft, the CHL will permanently cancel the Canada-Russia Series as part of its annual calendar of events moving forward.

Over the years, the CHL Import Draft has seen a multitude of players chosen at this event who have later gone on to hear their names called at the NHL Draft. Just last year, at the 2023 NHL Draft in Nashville, Tenn., six CHL players who came through the CHL Import Draft were drafted by NHL clubs, including Samuel Honzek (Vancouver Giants / Calgary Flames), Egor Sidorov (Saskatoon Blades / Anaheim Ducks), Andrei Loshko (Rouyn-Noranda Huskies / Seattle Kraken), Rodwin Dionicio (Saginaw Spirit / Anaheim Ducks), Marcel Marcel (Gatineau Olympiques / Chicago Blackhawks) and Vojtech Port (Moose Jaw Warriors / Anaheim Ducks).

Since the first CHL Import Draft was held in 1992, over 2,090 players from outside of Canada and the United States have been selected at this annual event.

Toronto, Ont. – The Ontario Hockey League today announced the rosters and schedule for the 2024 OHL Development Combine presented by Dairy Farmers of Ontario which takes place April 6-7 at the Tribute Communities Centre in Oshawa, Ont.

The event offers 77 players (37 forwards, 24 defencemen, 16 goaltenders) the opportunity to showcase themselves both on and off the ice to OHL member team personnel. Sport testing results will be distributed to every OHL member team General Manager to assist in their evaluation for the OHL Priority Selection to be held on April 12-13.

“The OHL Combine offers aspiring players a unique opportunity for personal development,” stated Brodie Barrick, OHL Director of Recruitment and Player Services. “By conducting skill assessments, we identify both on and off-ice strengths to help players achieve their peak performance. Simultaneously, the games provide an additional platform for players to showcase their abilities, setting the stage for the upcoming Priority Selection.”

The weekend program includes on and off-ice testing performed by Okanagan Hockey Group in addition to skills training provided by Power Edge Pro. Over the weekend players will also partake in a seminar that focuses on proper nutrition and training for elite athletes. Players will conclude the weekend competing in a series of 5-on-5 and 3-on-3 games on Sunday joined behind the bench by OHL member team personnel.

Teams will be competing for the OHL Combine Cup Championship that awards points based on individual and team performances in both on and off-ice testing, as well as Sunday’s game results.

The 2024 event marks the 15th year the OHL has hosted a skills development day for players and goaltenders in advance of the OHL Priority Selection. The OHL Development Combine presented by Dairy Farmers of Ontario is open to the general public.
