Can someone explain the rules for 1990 players entering the OHL next year. How many 90's are allowed.
I've heard that two different things, A) first two rounds plus one wildcard are allowed to play. B) 3 16 year olds.

In my particular case, the team i got drafted to has 3 second round pics, so would that mean 4 players + one wildcard are elgible. round 1+ round 2= 4 players + one wildcard?

1 was a goalie and I don't believe they count as the two + wildcard. Therefor goalie + 2 (1st and 2nd) + wildcard. So for Sarnia I would assume 1st round + goalie + other 2 second rounders. I'm not 100% sure though you should ask the coach or GM.

I'm sorry I made a mistaken as you probably talking about Ottawa who didn't have a goalie in the 2nd round, sorry! No idea then! I would assume the 3 drafted in the second round would have to fight for the spot.

That's interesting I wonder what they would do with all the other 2nd round picks

Any player picked in the first and second plus 1 wildcard.

OR the teams first two picks and 1 wildcard.

That is how I understand the rule anyway.

So a team like Ottawa can have 5 16 year olds on the team. Although it is unlikely that a team would carry 5 16 year olds it is possible.

But I could be wrong. You can read the development model here if you like

Actually, I'm talking about windsor. The three second rounders are defence and forwards.

Whats up John, and the team is Erie

Here is the story.

The operative word here is OR. First two picks plus wild card (1st round & 7th round if those are your first two picks) OR ALL those 16 year old skaters selected in the first two rounds (could be any number) plus wild card are the players eligible to play for an OHL team.

BUT

Only 3 skaters are allowed to dress and play at any time.

A 16 year old goalie would not count towards the 3 skaters limit.

BUT

The OHL will be allowed an average of 3 16 year olds per team as per the CDM. 3X20=60 Total, league wide. For instance Brampton could have 0 & their 3 allotment could go to other clubs. For the 2007-2008 season it will be 40 total or on average 2 per club.

BUT

The Hockey Canada AGM is in May & things may change.


For simplicity sake.

Only 3 16 year olds total can dress & play. A larger number of players could be eligible to play, but the number of players that can play will be 3 per team as averaged throughout the league.

how many 16 years olds are aloud to play Jr a ,Jr b, Jr c

2006-2007

Jr A - 2
Jr B - 2
Jr C - 1

so does that mean that out of the 15 players that every team drafted, only the top 2 can play next year? Does it make a difference if they have late birthdates?

For 2006-2007

Major Jr. A is 3 & provincial Jr. A is 2
