U18, 2023-2024 (OMHA AAA League)

For 16-year-old forward Owen Meli of the U18 AAA Burlington Eagles, the season is a showcase to prove that he can make the jump to play in the Ontario Hockey League.  

Like many hockey players, Rocco Bigioni is a creature of habit. 

Blake Wright was selected in the 12th round of the 2022 OHL Priority Draft by the Sudbury Wolves. He had opportunities to play junior this past season but ultimately stuck around to finish his minor hockey career with the U18 AAA Ajax-Pickering Raiders.

Most hockey players can only dream of being drafted on the same day as their best friend. For Tate Collins, this was a reality last spring.

The experience of going undrafted by Ontario Hockey League teams last spring gave Trent Gates the jolt he needed to excel.
