Yes 13th pick to Saginaw. What a that? If he hasn’t figured out how to put up points in gthl (20 points in 2 years) he’s all of a sudden going to be productive.Guest wrote: ↑Fri Apr 11, 2025 8:29 pm Did any AA players get drafted?

If you think that was a bad $ pick you shoulda seen Niagara in round 13 taking an 2008 with 3 points in 55 games in the OJ.

Such a waste.
I get it money pick.
So embarrassing for OHL and player.
A real embarrassment for the OHL, and more so, a real embarrassment for the organization that made the pick. The player referenced in the comment above, was the 10th forward on a last place team in the GTHL.
The same can be said with the 10th forward that was drafted from the North York Rangers, whose father recently purchased 50% of the North York Rangers OJHL team. If you connect the dots on this one….. you’ll know why this player was drafted to the Niagara dogs of the OHL.

Re: 2009 GTHL AAA
A beautiful poem to summarize this season.
2009 AA Player Gets Selected over Dozens of AAA players
He laced ’em up at crack of dawn
While others yawned, he skated on
No prep school name, no sponsor bag
Just busted wheels and hand-me-down swag
Double A, yeah that’s the tier
Where dreams go die? Not over here
He toe-dragged kids into the dust
Snapped twigs, broke ankles, left ’em crushed
The scouts said nah, he said bet
They watched one shift, now they regret
He made that draft board eat its words
While coaches whispered he’s absurd
Now he’s OHL, prime-time ice
Still taping sticks and paying price
From loser rooms to locker fame
The AA kid just changed the game
And listen up, I’ll spit one truth
He wasn’t even best in the youth
The real one chopped like deli meat
Weiner should’ve had that draft seat

There are at least 500 AAA players that are currently better on every faucet of the game with a much higher trajectory for the next level then the AA player that was drafted. There are at least another 500 AA players that are currently better with a higher trajectory for the next level. This pick was a mockery of the draft.

You want a dark horse, pick from AA in the last round. Probably way better from the left overs in AAA.
You want cash, pick from AAA. Simple

Re: 2009 GTHL AAA
All the dots are being connected. Last few rounds are a complete mockery of what the OHL stands for. It is always bad every year but this year was next level embarrassing. Hockey Canada wonders why we have lost dominance in this sport.
