The OMHA is very proud of its nine alumni who were chosen in the 2022 NHL Draft this week. The five forwards and four defencemen look to make an impact in the next phase of their hockey dreams.
Player development during the formative years of a child's time in minor hockey is important in creating a long-term passion for the game. Making a positive experience for all players involved in the game helps build a lifelong love of hockey.
We wish all of our alumni the best of luck in their futures on and off the ice.
What an honor! Thank you San Jose for believing in me. Go Sharks https://t.co/7xQFQMu66S
