Mississauga, ON – …. The Ontario Junior Hockey League’s Governors’ Showcase returns to Buffalo’s LECOM Harborcenter this week, showcasing the league’s players to the hockey world.

All 24 OJHL teams will play two games during the course of the event Tuesday, Sept. 26, through Thursday, Sept. 28. The games count in the OJHL regular season standings.

It’s the sixth time the event has been staged in Buffalo. LECOM Harborcenter is the twin-rink practice facility of the Buffalo Sabres. It is attached to the NHL team’s arena, KeyBank Center, on downtown Buffalo’s waterfront.

“The return to Buffalo, NY for the OJHL Governors’ Showcase is three years in the making and we are extremely excited to bring back all 24 OJHL member clubs,” said OJHL Commissioner Marty Savoy. “The support that the league receives from the staff of the LECOM Harborcenter and the Jr. Sabres organization allows for the smooth execution of this important event within the OJHL season.”

The Ontario Junior Hockey League is the largest Junior ‘A’ league operating under the auspices of the Canadian Junior Hockey League with 24 member clubs. The OJHL had more than 75 commitments in 2022-23 including more than 40 NCAA Division I scholarships.

The Governors’ Showcase annually attracts more than 200 scouts from various levels of the game, including the NHL, NCAA, CHL and U SPORTS.

All-day general admission passes will be available to fans for $20 US for each day of the showcase. Children under the age of 12 will be admitted free. Showcase games take place in both the main Rink 1 and adjoining secondary Rink 2.

The Burlington Cougars and Georgetown Raiders clash in Game 1 of the Governors’ Showcase Tuesday at 10:30 a.m.
