The road to the 2015 OMHA Playdowns starts now!

Preliminary league groupings have begun to face-off for a coveted bracket spot into the Playdown quarter-finals. Keep checking OMHA.net/Playdowns2016, the only location to find the complete Playdowns brackets picture.

The Playdowns signal the end of the regular season and the beginning of the path to an OMHA championship. It encompasses all of the lessons learned throughout the year while continuing to push forward the great qualities of hockey we have carried with us since we first laced up skates.

The journeys will be different across the province but the emotions will still be special. This is the time of year where the cream of the crop rises to the occasion.

Everyone wants to create memories that last a lifetime and earn a Red Hat given by CCM. Proudly displaying that to friends and family is something that reminds everyone of championship moments.

Be sure to cheer on your team and share your progress through Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Stay connected by using the hashtag #RedHats. There will be 91 OMHA Champions crowned this season from Novice to Juvenile so plenty of action will be happening over the next few weeks.

This is the most important time of the year and a culmination of everything teams have worked towards all season. They didn’t come this far to go home empty handed.

Players like OMHA alum Steven Stamkos once donned a Red Hat with the Markham Waxers. That is something that helps build a championship pedigree and stands out in a player’s career, no matter how far they go.

Let’s drop the puck!
