209 OHL Alumni Set for 2017-18 U SPORTS Men's Hockey S
October 11, 2017 - Ontario Hockey League (OHL) News Release
Toronto, ON - The Ontario Hockey League is proud to announce that a total of 209 OHL Alumni are beginning the 2017-18 season on U SPORTS Men's Hockey rosters, pursuing their goals on the ice and in the classroom.
Of the 209 former OHL players, 157 are competing among 18 different Ontario University Sport schools representing over 25% of the 20-team conference. The Queen's Gaels lead the way with 18 former OHL players, followed by 16 OHL alumni on the Western Mustangs.
Elsewhere across the country, 48 OHL grads are competing in the Atlantic University Sport conference on six different teams including 12 members of the StFX X-Men while four former players have ventured to the Canada West conference to play for Alberta schools.
32 of the 209 players competed in the OHL during the 2016-17 season including 28 in their overage year.
Early projections indicate approximately 300 OHL Alumni will access the OHL Scholarship Program in 2017-18 at 64 different academic institutions across North America including 134 former players no longer competing in hockey.
Last season, the OHL Centrally Administered Scholarship Program facilitated scholarships for 301 OHL Alumni with a total scholarship payment in excess of $3.17 million. Since the 2007-08 season, OHL Scholarship payments have totaled more than $18.8 million.
Best of luck to all players in pursuit of the University Cup!
