FOHL Insider #1

Leadership in the OHL has always been displayed in spades. Former captains in Ontario that now captain their NHL teams include Gabriel Landeskog and Connor McDavid, while Alex Pietrangelo and Steven Stamkos both served with letters on their jerseys. With a wave of players graduating from the league and heading to the big show, the void is left to be filled by younger players stepping up in the OHL. As of publication, no captains have been confirmed for the new league season, but we think you'll see some familiar faces when the 'C's get announced. 10.  Michael DiPietro, G - Saginaw Spirit Leadership: 57 9.

TSN's The Quiz James Duthie: Good evening, and welcome to TSN's The Quiz, I'm James Duthie joined on the panel by TSN hockey experts Dave Poulin, scout master Craig Button and the Bobfather himself, Bob McKenzie. Gentlemen. We've had a lot happen over the last month in OHL hockey, with the Memorial Cup winning Soo Greyhounds, the Import Draft, the Priority Draft, and then a whole slew of trades. We've got a lot to cover, so let's just jump right now. In terms of OHL prospects drafted at the priority selection, who is poised to have the most impact and emerge as an early front runner for rookie of the year? Craig Button:  Well conventional wisdom would say the first overall pick, Quinton Byfield with the Flint Firebirds or Cole Perfetti in Guelph with the Storm, however I'm going to go a little off the board, and I loved this pick. Tristan Lennox  with the Windsor Spitfires is my pick for the rookie of the year. He's going to have a tremendous ...

Greyhounds Capture Championship It was a storybook ending to a hard fought season. A bloodbath of scoring that culminated in one of the most exciting finishes in OHL history. Neither of the top seeds from the regular season proved worthy of an appearance in the finals. That honor belonged to the Eastern champions from Mississauga, and the eventual champions out of the West, Sault Ste Marie. It was the first time since 1992 that the Greyhounds touched the J. Ross Robertson Cup, even though they've been flirting with the grand prize for many seasons now. Something a dynasty in the OHL, the Greyhounds rose to prominence under now Toronto Maple Leafs GM, Kyle Dubas, leading way to Kyle Raftis, and now Antonio Borrelli who put on a master class of management this season. It wasn't a conventional path to the OHL championship, as Borrelli started the campaign by dealing arguably their best player to Barrie for Aaron Luchuk, and Lucas Chiodo.
