Toronto, Ont. – The Ontario Hockey League today announced the rosters and schedule for the 2024 OHL Development Combine presented by Dairy Farmers of Ontario which takes place April 6-7 at the Tribute Communities Centre in Oshawa, Ont.
The event offers 77 players (37 forwards, 24 defencemen, 16 goaltenders) the opportunity to showcase themselves both on and off the ice to OHL member team personnel. Sport testing results will be distributed to every OHL member team General Manager to assist in their evaluation for the OHL Priority Selection to be held on April 12-13.
“The OHL Combine offers aspiring players a unique opportunity for personal development,” stated Brodie Barrick, OHL Director of Recruitment and Player Services. “By conducting skill assessments, we identify both on and off-ice strengths to help players achieve their peak performance. Simultaneously, the games provide an additional platform for players to showcase their abilities, setting the stage for the upcoming Priority Selection.”
The weekend program includes on and off-ice testing performed by Okanagan Hockey Group in addition to skills training provided by Power Edge Pro. Over the weekend players will also partake in a seminar that focuses on proper nutrition and training for elite athletes. Players will conclude the weekend competing in a series of 5-on-5 and 3-on-3 games on Sunday joined behind the bench by OHL member team personnel.
Teams will be competing for the OHL Combine Cup Championship that awards points based on individual and team performances in both on and off-ice testing, as well as Sunday’s game results.
The 2024 event marks the 15th year the OHL has hosted a skills development day for players and goaltenders in advance of the OHL Priority Selection. The OHL Development Combine presented by Dairy Farmers of Ontario is open to the general public.
