Follow along the OMHA grads on your favourite OHL team

This week opens another OHL Season and marks a great time to highlight the accomplishments of some of our graduates. The Ontario Hockey League brings players one step closer to reaching the NHL. There are 141 players in the OHL who grew up playing Hometown Hockey in the OMHA and come from all over the province. All 20 OHL teams have at least three former OMHA players and over half have a netminder who played with us. Nearly all of the Minor Midget AAA have at least one grad on an OHL roster.

Which team will you be cheering for this OHL season? Find a complete list of grads below.
