The OMHA is extremely proud of its 11 graduates who were chosen in the 2017 NHL Draft over the weekend and who are now one step closer to their NHL dreams. The six forwards, four defencemen and one goalie look to make an impact in the next phase of their hockey careers.
Hockey teaches our youth character, respect and commitment while players enjoy spending time with friends and skill-building at the same time. We wish all of our graduates the best of luck in their futures on and off the ice.
