195 OHL Alumni on U SPORTS men’s hockey rosters to begin 2024-25 season
A total of 195 OHL Alumni are included on U SPORTS men’s hockey rosters with seasons getting underway across the country this week. The list includes a total of 29 players who played in the OHL during the 2023-24 season.
Players across the country are making the most of their OHL Scholarship, furthering their education while competing in high-level U SPORTS hockey. Last year, the OHL Scholarship Program invested over $3.9 million, with 331 graduates utilizing their scholarships during the 2023-24 academic year.
A total of 131 former OHL players are competing in Ontario University Athletics (OUA), 62 are competing in Atlantic University Sport (AUS) and an additional two are playing in the Canada West Universities Athletic Association (Canada West).
Toronto Metropolitan University leads with 16 OHL graduates on its roster, followed by Queen’s University with 13. On the East Coast, Saint Mary’s University tops the list with 13 OHL alumni, while St. Francis Xavier University and reigning University Cup champion University of New Brunswick each have 12.
In the weeks ahead, we’ll be diving into some of the top U SPORTS men’s hockey programs nationwide, highlighting players who are continuing their academic journeys after their time in the Ontario Hockey League.
