NORTH BAY, Ont. — The Ontario Hockey League has made several announcements this week about aspects of the 2026-27 schedule, which is to be released in full next Tuesday.

  The QMJHL will unveil its 2026-2027 schedule in the coming days, and to whet your appetite, it announced today that there will be eight interleague games against the Ontario Hockey League (OHL). That’s double the number from last season, when the Gatineau Olympiques and the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies faced off against the Ottawa 67’s and the Sudbury Wolves, respectively, in a home-and-away series. Those same two matchups will return this season, while the Val-d’Or Foreurs will face the North Bay Battalion, and the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada will go head-to-head with the Kingston Frontenacs, again in home-and-away series. The first interleague games will take place on Sunday, November 1, and the final game, between Sudbury and Rouyn-Noranda, will be played on Sunday, February 21. _ OHL vs QMJHL Interleague Games: Sunday, November 1, 2:00 p.m., Val-d’Or at North Bay Sunday, November 1, 2:05 p.m., Rouyn-Noranda at Sudbury Friday, November 20, 7:00 p.m., Ottawa a

When the Ontario Hockey League introduced the Under-18 Priority Selection, it carved out a new pathway for players whose hockey journeys didn't follow a conventional route. For some, it offered a second chance to hear their name called after being passed over in the OHL Priority Selection. For others, it swung open the door to the league following different development paths. As OHL clubs gear up for tonight's U18 Priority Selection, recent history stands as a reminder that impact players can come from anywhere. Over the past several years, U18 selections have gone on to become Memorial Cup champions, NHL signees, and key contributors at both the junior and professional levels. Perhaps no player better captures the value of the draft than former Saginaw Spirit forward Calem Mangone. Selected second overall in the 2021 U18 Priority Selection, Mangone deve
