OHL-Hockey Canada Development Combine powered by Under Armour April 2-3

Press Release

Toronto, ON – The Ontario Hockey League today announced the details for the second annual OHL-Hockey Canada Development Combine powered by Under Armour which takes place April 2-3 at the Hershey Centre in Mississauga, ON.

The program offers 24 goaltenders and 60 skaters the opportunity to showcase themselves both on and off the ice to OHL member team personnel.  The on-ice testing will be conducted using components of the Hockey Canada National Skills Standards and Testing Program, with goaltender sessions led by former NHLer and current Peterborough Petes and Team Canada Goaltending Consultant Ron Tugnutt.  Off-ice testing is conducted by Mark Fitzgerald, Strength and Conditioning Coach for the Toronto Marlies and the Oshawa Generals.  The results will be distributed to every OHL Member Team General Manager to assist in their evaluation for the 2011 OHL Priority Selection to be held on May 7, 2011.

Aaron Ekblad of the Sun County Panthers is the only 1996-born player participating in the 2011 OHL-Hockey Canada Development Combine powered by Under Armour.  Ekblad was recently granted “exceptional player” status from Hockey Canada making him eligible for the 2011 OHL Priority Selection.  All other players are 1995-born and include 45 players that competed in the 2011 OHL Cup Showcase Tournament with four players from the champion Toronto Marlboros including leading scorer Cody Thompson and defenceman Jordan Subban.

The 2011 event marks the fourth straight year that the OHL has hosted a skills development day for players and goaltenders in advance of the OHL Priority Selection.  Last season was the first in collaboration with Hockey Canada and powered by Under Armour and featured 22 players selected in the first two rounds of the Priority Selection including Sean Monahan of the Ottawa 67’s.  Other past participants include 2010 first round NHL Entry Draft pick Mark Visentin of the Niagara IceDogs, and top 2011 NHL Entry Draft prospects Ryan Murphy of the Kitchener Rangers, Matt Puempel of the Peterborough Petes, and Lucas Lessio of the Oshawa Generals.
