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 league is releasing the OJHL Power Rankings every Wednesday during its OJ All Access Podcast.
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.
