2022 OHL Development Combine to be held April 23-24

Toronto, Ont. – The Ontario Hockey League today announced that the 2022 OHL Development Combine will be held on Saturday, April 23 and Sunday, April 24 at the Tribute Communities Centre in Oshawa, Ont.

Back for the first time since 2019, the OHL Development Combine will feature 76 prospects, including 36 forwards, 24 defencemen and 16 goaltenders eligible for the 2022 OHL Priority Selection.

“The OHL Combine is a great opportunity for prospective players to enhance their own personal development,” said Kyle Pereira, OHL Director of Player Recruitment and Development. “The blend of both skill testing and competitive games gives players a platform to showcase their abilities in advance of the Priority Selection.”

Saturday’s itinerary will see players participate in on and off-ice testing through a series of exercises. Results will be provided to OHL member teams ahead of the OHL Priority Selection presented by Real Canadian Superstore to be held Friday, April 29th and Saturday, April 30th.

Players will compete in 5-on-5 and 3-on-3 play throughout Sunday, being joined behind the bench by OHL member team personnel as special guest coaches.

Teams will compete for the OHL Combine Cup championship, with the winner achieving supremacy by way of a point system recognizing both individual performance in on and off-ice testing, as well as team performance in Sunday’s game action.

OHL member team scouts and general managers will be on hand throughout the weekend as top 2022 OHL Priority Selection prospects put their best foot forward.

The 2022 event marks the 13th year that the OHL has hosted a skills development day for players and goaltenders in advance of the OHL Priority Selection.
