CHL-leading presence that continues to shape the NHL\u2019s biggest stage.<\/p>\n In all, 190 graduates of the Canadian Hockey League will take part in the postseason, accounting for more than 45 percent of the 417 players competing, the highest total of any development league in the world.<\/p>\n The OHL\u2019s 86 representatives lead the way among CHL member leagues, followed by 65 from the WHL and 40 from the QMJHL. Every NHL club in the playoffs features at least eight CHL alumni, with the Dallas Stars, Edmonton Oilers, Vegas Golden Knights, and Tampa Bay Lightning each rostering 15.<\/p>\n At the club level, the London Knights top all CHL teams with 11 alumni competing in the playoffs, while the Erie Otters are close behind with eight. Barrie, Owen Sound, and Windsor each have seven, highlighting the OHL\u2019s footprint across contending NHL rosters.<\/p>\n That influence continues to show in championship success. Since 2014, 156 of the 294 Stanley Cup champions, more than half, have come through the CHL, including 10 members of last year\u2019s champion Florida Panthers.<\/a><\/p>\n Across the 2025-26 regular season, 478 CHL alumni appeared in at least one NHL game, representing 46.1 percent of all players league-wide, further underscoring the league\u2019s role as the primary path to the NHL.<\/p>\n Quick Facts<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n 2025-26 Regular Season Highlights<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Complete list of the 86 OHL alumni competing in the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs<\/b><\/span> Anaheim Ducks (5)<\/b> Boston Bruins (2)<\/b> Buffalo Sabres (7)<\/b> Carolina Hurricanes (4)<\/b> Colorado Avalanche (5)<\/b> Dallas Stars (9)<\/b> Edmonton Oilers (8)<\/b> Los Angeles Kings (6)<\/b> Minnesota Wild (7)<\/b> Montreal Canadiens (3)<\/b> Ottawa Senators (5)<\/b> Philadelphia Flyers (8)<\/b> Pittsburgh Penguins (4)<\/b> Tampa Bay Lightning (6)<\/b> Utah Mammoth (4)<\/b> Vegas Golden Knights (3)<\/b> A total of 86 OHL alumni are set to compete in the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs, contributing to a CHL-leading presence that makes up more than 45 percent of all NHL postseason rosters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":297606,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"article","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[186],"tags":false,"class_list":["post-297604","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-article","category-186","description-off"],"acf":[],"featured_image":["https:\/\/media.chl.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/04\/18132828\/NHL-Playoffs-OHL-Alumni-Web.jpg",1920,1080,false],"hide_from_app_feed":false,"video":false,"gallery":null,"ht_game_id":0,"target_video":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chl.ca\/ohl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/297604","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chl.ca\/ohl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chl.ca\/ohl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chl.ca\/ohl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chl.ca\/ohl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=297604"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/chl.ca\/ohl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/297604\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chl.ca\/ohl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/297606"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chl.ca\/ohl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=297604"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chl.ca\/ohl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=297604"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chl.ca\/ohl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=297604"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}},{"id":296498,"date":"2026-04-18T10:00:41","date_gmt":"2026-04-18T14:00:41","guid":{"rendered":"https:\/\/chl.ca\/ohl\/?p=296498"},"modified":"2026-04-18T23:11:33","modified_gmt":"2026-04-19T03:11:33","slug":"2026-ohl-playoff-tracker","status":"publish","type":"post","link":"https:\/\/chl.ca\/ohl\/article\/2026-ohl-playoff-tracker","title":{"rendered":"2026 OHL Playoff Tracker"},"content":{"rendered":" 2026 OHL PLAYOFFS PRESENTED BY NISSAN – CONFERENCE FINAL SCHEDULE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n EASTERN CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES<\/strong><\/p>\n (1) Brantford Bulldogs vs. (2) Barrie Colts WESTERN CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES<\/strong><\/p>\n (1) Kitchener Rangers vs. (2) Windsor Spitfires *- if necessary<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2026 OHL PLAYOFFS PRESENTED BY NISSAN – SECOND ROUND SCHEDULE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n EASTERN CONFERENCE<\/strong><\/p>\n (1) Brantford Bulldogs vs. (5) North Bay Battalion (2) Barrie Colts vs. (3) Ottawa 67’s <\/p>\n WESTERN CONFERENCE<\/strong><\/p>\n (1) Kitchener Rangers vs. (5) Soo Greyhounds (2) Windsor Spitfires vs. (3) Flint Firebirds <\/p>\n 2026 OHL PLAYOFFS PRESENTED BY NISSAN – FIRST ROUND RESULTS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n EASTERN CONFERENCE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
