Toronto, ON – On Saturday
the Ontario Hockey League
conducted the 2016 OHL
Priority Selection for
players born between January
1, 1997, and December 31,
2000.
A total of 301 players were
selected in the 15-round
process from 91 different
teams across Ontario and
parts of the United States.
The selected players
included 171 forwards, 99
defencemen, and 31
goaltenders. 292 players
chosen were 2000-born
athletes, with nine players
born in 1999.
“Congratulations to all 301
players chosen in the 2016
OHL Priority Selection,
their family, friends, and
minor hockey coaches and
organizations who have
helped support and develop
these tremendous student
athletes,” said Darrell
Woodley, Director of OHL
Central Scouting. “Being
selected by an OHL team is a
great accomplishment but
it’s also just the beginning
of your road to the next
level. Whether you have been
selected or not,
opportunities for success
are available for players
with the right attitude and
work ethic. Best of luck to
all players in pursuit of
your hockey and academic
goals.”
