“Congratulations to all 303 players chosen in the 2019 OHL Priority Selection and for the hard work and dedication that brought you to this point,” said Darrell Woodley, Director of OHL Central Scouting. “This is an exciting day for everyone involved starting with the players and extending out to their families, friends, coaches and teammates that helped provide support along the way. The work continues from here as another new challenge lies ahead. It doesn’t matter what round you were picked in, it’s what you do on the ice that really counts. This motivation also applies to players not selected today who can still find opportunities for success in hockey with the right attitude and work ethic. Best of luck to all players in your continued efforts on the ice and in the classroom.”
