[OHLTG]

It was the old "hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard"... which they said after the game, too.

I imagine the current players signed to a CHL contract our bound to the end of their junior eligibility before jumping NCAA. It will also be critical to be known as a OHL team who produces a lot of NHL players over their history to help draw a US 16-17 year old to tge CHL even though path will include NCAA. The CHL players are going to be heavily recruited which coukd be a distraction during a season as the NCAA signs kids as a free agent basically.

Isn't every OHL team pretty much renewing education packages on a year to year basis? For example and yes an extreme one. Ethan Martin has a very small role at times a healthy scratch. If a smaller NCAA school eg. Bama Huntsville or Lindenwood wanted him. He's probably not an OA he will jump. This example is more for next year if you're 19 and not signed and maybe a bubble OA. Those guys will probably leave. I expect a school like Arizona St to thrive in this environment for obvious reasons.

Works often in playoffs.
Windsor has experienced being on wrong end a few times..
