228 OHL Alumni on U SPORTS men’s hockey rosters to begin 2023-24 season

A total of 228 OHL Alumni are included on U SPORTS men’s hockey rosters with seasons getting underway across the country this week.

Players from coast-to-coast are taking advantage of their OHL Scholarship, pursuing an education while competing in high-level hockey in the U SPORTS ranks. Last year, OHL Scholarship Program investment topped $3.6 million as a total of 333 graduates accessed their OHL Scholarship during the 2022-23 academic year.

A total of 160 former OHL players are competing in Ontario University Athletics (OUA), 64 are competing in Atlantic University Sport (AUS) and an additional four are playing in the Canada West Universities Athletic Association (Canada West).

Queen’s University leads the way with 20 OHL graduates competing on its roster followed closely by Toronto Metropolitan University with 19. On the east coast, the UNB Reds, who had 16 OHL graduates hoist the University Cup as national champions last year, feature a total of 14 OHL Alumni on their opening night roster.

In the coming weeks we’ll be taking a closer look at some of the great U SPORTS men’s hockey programs across the country as players continue their academic journey beyond the Ontario Hockey League.
