Total Package Hockey congratulates 12 TPH-affiliated athletes on being selected in the 2026 Ontario Hockey League (OHL) Priority Selection Draft.

This year’s selections span Team TPH OHL Cup, TPH Academy Grand Rapids, and TPH Academy London, demonstrating the strength of the TPH development model across multiple programs and environments.
At TPH, player development goes beyond technical skill, focusing on building intelligent, adaptable, and confident players who can process the game at a high level and perform consistently in competitive environments.
