Players Eligible for Selection:
All U18 players not currently on a CHL Member Team Protected List who were carded with an Ontario-based U18 AAA Hockey Club or an accredited Hockey Canada sport school within the OHF, HNO or HEO in the 2021-22 playing season are eligible for the U18 Priority Selection.
Selection Procedure:
The Under-18 Priority Selection Process is capped at two rounds with each OHL Member Team required to select two players.
The OHL’s four non-playoff teams, the Erie Otters, Niagara IceDogs, Saginaw Spirit and Sudbury Wolves, participated in a Priority Selection Lottery on April 20 to determine the order of selection for picks 1-through-4. The remaining order of selection is determined by inverse order of finish in the OHL regular season standings.
The Saginaw Spirit will select first overall in 2022, followed by the Erie Otters, Sudbury Wolves and Niagara IceDogs.
Goaltender Policy:
Should a Member Team select a goalie with one of their two selections, the Club has the option to select another player (skater only). There will be an additional round added to the Under-18 Priority Selection to facilitate the drafting of the additional skater utilizing the same selection order and process.
General Rules of Selection:
OHL Member Teams may utilize a maximum of five minutes to select a player through the duration of the Under-18 Priority Selection.
Each OHL Member Team will have the opportunity for one two minute timeout during the Under-18 Priority Selection.
