After returning to the postseason with one of the league’s youngest rosters, the Guelph Storm saw their playoff run come to an end in the opening round. Despite the early exit, the organization has plenty to be optimistic about moving forward as its young core continues to develop ahead of a significant chapter in franchise history.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last season, it was announced that the Storm would host the 2027 Memorial Cup, giving the club an opportunity to continue building toward the national spotlight over the next year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, they say goodbye to the lone member of their graduating class as Ethan Miedema moves on from the OHL following the conclusion of his overage season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Acquired by the Storm during the offseason, <\/span>Ethan Miedema<\/span><\/a> put together a strong overage campaign, recording 47 points (25-22\u201347). In December, he also became the first OHL player born in the 2000s to reach the 300-career-game milestone. Prior to arriving in Guelph, Miedema spent time with both the Kingston Frontenacs and Windsor Spitfires.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 21-year-old from Cobourg, Ont., concludes his OHL career with 235 points (100-135\u2013235) across 335 regular-season games. Originally selected fourth overall by Windsor in the 2021 OHL Priority Selection, Miedema was later chosen by the Buffalo Sabres in the fourth round (109th overall) of the 2023 NHL Draft. He is committed to Bemidji State University for the 2026-27 season.<\/span><\/p>\n

For the first time since the year 2000, the future of the Ontario Hockey League will be drafted under one roof. The 2026 OHL Priority Selection presented by Real Canadian Superstore is heading to Kingston, Ontario, on June 12-13, bringing the excitement of draft day back to a live, in-person format.<\/p>\n

As the hockey world prepares to descend on the Limestone City, the scouting community has been hard at work evaluating the next wave of premier talent. To set the stage for this historic weekend, we are proud to unveil The Consensus Ontario Top-100<\/b>\u2014the definitive ranking of the province’s top prospects eligible for the 2026 Priority Selection.<\/p>\n

Building the Consensus Ontario Top-100<\/h3>\n

This Top-100 list goes beyond a single perspective. It is a holistic, data-driven aggregate built from the tireless work of the industry’s leading independent scouting services.<\/p>\n

By compiling and calculating a weighted average of the provincial rankings produced by Elite Prospects<\/strong>, HockeyProspect.com<\/strong>, Neutral Zone<\/strong>, PDA Evaluations<\/strong>, and PuckPreps<\/strong>, this master board mathematically cuts through the variance to reveal the independent scouting community consensus.<\/p>\n

Leading the charge at the top of the board is Hill Academy centreman Tanner Adams, followed closely by Vaughan Kings standouts Kane Cloutier and Adrian Sgro. But with a deep and dynamic talent pool developing across the province and into the United States, the debate on who the Oshawa Generals will select first overall rages on.<\/p>\n

By the Numbers: The Class of 2026<\/span><\/h3>\n
