The Future of the OHL: Are We Witnessing a Decline?

So, I stumbled across something pretty concerning today. While looking for OHL news, I hit a wall - a 404 error on what appeared to be the NHL website. This makes me wonder, what’s the state of online OHL coverage? Is the league struggling to maintain an online presence? Has the NHL's digital footprint somehow overshadowed the OHL?

This could point to a bigger issue: is interest in the OHL waning? Are fewer people following the league, impacting its online visibility? Or is this just a technical glitch and I'm overreacting?

I know junior hockey faces challenges, like competition from other sports and leagues. But the OHL has always been a breeding ground for NHL talent. What needs to happen to revitalize interest and ensure the league thrives in the digital age?

I'm throwing this out there: I predict we'll see some major changes in the OHL within the next five years, either in its media strategy or league structure. What do you think those changes might be? Let's discuss.
