YourTV’s Sixth Annual #OHLDay Recap

 

For the sixth straight season a full day of Ontario Hockey League action and exclusive broadcast coverage aired across the province on YourTV networks as part of Hockey Day in the OHL.

#OHLDay featured a tripleheader of games including a 4-3 road win for the Niagara IceDogs over the Windsor Spitfires (Highlights) in the 1:00 pm game, a 4-0 shutout victory for the host North Bay Battalion against the Kingston Frontenacs (Highlights) in the 4:00 pm time slot, and wrapped up with an 8-4 win for the Sarnia Sting against the visiting Hamilton Bulldogs (Highlights) at 7:00 pm.

YourTV networks in all OHL communities also helped deliver great feature content to fans across the province during intermissions and between games, while host Terry Doyle chatted with studio guests all part of a full day of continuous OHL coverage.
