Brampton Steelheads News Release


The 2019 OHL Gold Cup will feature 127 players selected from this year's OHL Priority Selection Draft. The annual showcase gives top young talent across Ontario the opportunity to develop through the Hockey Canada Program of Excellence and subsequently be evaluated to earn an invitation to the National Under-17 development camp.

"The Ontario Hockey League is proud of our partnership with the Ontario Hockey Federation and Hockey Canada that extends to great events like the OHL Gold Cup which provides players with another unique development opportunity," said Joe Birch, OHL Senior Director of Player Development and Special Events. "Some of the very best players from across Ontario, including future OHL stars and members of Canada's National Under-17 Teams, will be showcasing their abilities in May. It will be exciting to see how the action unfolds and which players are able to seize the moment."

OHL Gold Cup players will receive development opportunities and training directly from Hockey Canada instructors. Throughout the week players will participate in three off-ice education sessions, dedicated position-specific practices and a full-team game-day skate.
