Who’s making the jump ? So, People actually go to camp? I know a few u18 boys have already been with the teams in OJ pre camps, so seems like teams are made and I should save my money?

There are always spots available in junior camps. Most of these coaches want to win and move on to the next level. Do your homework on the owner and coach but for the most part, a lot more merit based as you move up.

If your kid is 4th round or more you're better off playing U18 and being APd to Ojhl. I know you think Lil Billy is ready but he will be sitting on bench.

Only 2 u16 per team as well makes it hard
