The Ontario Minor Hockey Association is pleased to announce the rosters and team staff for two OMHA teams who will participate in the 2016 Under 16 OHL Gold Cup to be held in Kitchener ON, May 4-8, 2016.
The rosters are comprised of 40 of the best minor midget-aged players who played in the OMHA this season. All were selected in the OHL Draft on April 9.
“Creating the rosters for the OHL Cup was a challenging and enjoyable experience for Jeff McKercher and myself. There is a plethora of talent at the minor midget level across the OMHA which made it difficult to select just 40 players. We are confident in our final selections and believe the OMHA has two very strong teams at this year’s OHL Gold Cup," said Chris McCleary, Team OMHA Director of Operations.
The Under-16 OHL Gold Cup is an annual event created to feature Ontario’s top Under-16 talent. This event not only showcases Ontario’s talent, but it is an evaluation and selection process for Team Canada. The top players from the U16 OHL Gold Cup will attend the Under-17 Team Canada National Camp where the Hockey Canada staff will select 66 players from across the country to represent Canada at the World Under-17 Challenge held annually in December. The future of Canadian hockey is on display during the 2016 OHL Gold Cup.
