The 2016 OHL Cup gets underway March 15th in Toronto. As in previous years, HockeyProspect.com scouts will be scouting this event all week long. It’s one of the last chances for our scouts to evaluate OHL Draft prospects prior to the release of our 2016 OHL Draft Guides. Our OHL Draft Guide will be released as soon as possible following the OHL Cup. We are hoping it will be somewhere in the range of March 28th-30th.
Below is the schedule and the listing of the teams competing in both play in games and those who have already locked up their spots in this year’s tournament.
The Wildcard games schedule will be drawn at 7pm on Monday March 14th.
