The OJHL is hosting the annual Governors’ Showcase in association with the Niagara Falls Canucks Junior A Hockey Club from Sept. 15-17, 2025, in Niagara Falls, Ontario, at the state-of-the-art Gale Centre.
“The OJHL Governors’ Showcase is one of the premiere events of the OJHL season that showcases all 24 teams in one location,” said OJHL Commissioner Marty Savoy. “We are thrilled to have MilkUP back as the presenting sponsor and have appreciated the Dairy Farmers of Ontario’s past support of the OJHL and look forward to many more years to come.”

The Showcase is being hosted in the beautiful and iconic destination of Niagara Falls for the second straight year. The Gale Centre in Niagara Falls is a fully accessible facility with full concessions, pro shop, 20 dressing rooms and plenty of meeting room space to meet the needs of the OJHL Governors’ Showcase.
The OJHL Governors’ Showcase is one of the largest junior hockey showcases in North America, with the event annually attracting more than 150 scouts from various levels of the game, including NHL Central Scouting, the 32 NHL teams, NCAA Division I and III, the CHL and U SPORTS.
All 24 OJHL teams will convene on Niagara Falls and play two games each over the three days of the Showcase. These regular season games count towards the OJHL season standings. All games will be webcast by the OJHL’s webcast partner, FloHockey. All games will use Video Goal Review (VGR), which was implemented last season in the OJHL.
Day passes for all fans will be sold for $20 in the Main Rink Entry area box office of the Gale Centre. Children under the age of 12 will be admitted free of charge.
As presenting sponsor of the OJHL Governors’ Showcase, MilkUP will have branding on all collateral materials in and outside of the venue involved with the OJHL Governors’ Showcase, including images, videos and webcasts of the event again this year.
