The Ontario Hockey League dropped the puck on the 2022-2023 season’s Opening Week on Thursday, September 29. As the season begins, a total of 161 Greater Toronto Hockey League alumni are featured on OHL Opening Week rosters.

Leading the way is the Niagara IceDogs with 12 alumni, while the North Bay Battalion (11) and the Windsor Spitfires (10) are close behind in second and third respectively. A quarter of OHL teams (five) include nine GTHL alumni on their rosters, with every team in the league housing at least four former GTHL players.

The alumni also represent all 12 of the GTHL’s ‘AAA’ clubs, with the Toronto Marlboros (32) and the Toronto Jr. Canadiens (27) out front. The Toronto Young Nationals and the Mississauga Senators are represented with 17 and 13 former players respectively, while every club features at least eight alumni.

The OHL’s Opening Night on Thursday saw three games with six teams in action. Seven more games are slated for Friday, September 30. For more on OHL Opening Week, visit OntarioHockeyLeague.com.
