Head coaches from across the 24-team OJHL take part in a weekly poll to determine the top 10 teams listed in the rankings.
Coaches are asked to vote for their top 10 each week, based on “teams’ overall strength, game outcomes (scores and performance) and other key indicators of success including recent play against top teams and the record of the week.” The results are tabulated by the OJHL’s Hockey Operations department.
The OJ All Access Podcast is available every Wednesday at 6 p.m. on platforms, including the OJHL’s Facebook, X and Instagram accounts, plus Twitch and Spotify. Host Alex Bastyovanszky and guests from across the league “talk everything OJHL” during the podcast. Bastyovanszky is a veteran junior hockey TV host/producer/videographer.
