There's nothing that can replace that.
That's why I love the fact that the OHL is doing this in person again because it brings everyone together.
It's like Rod Brindamore has been saying during the Stanley Cup run, stacking memories, right?
Stack memories for your kids that are coming in, for all the parents that get to watch it, for all the organization.
Just be in the business of stacking memories.
You mentioned the future of the OHL.
Could the OHL's future include a 15-year-old draft?
Yeah.
And again, like you're right.
The Western League does it this way.
And I just can't help but think, given the new reality of junior hockey in Canada, stateside, the situation with NCAA Division I college hockey as well, just the idea of like perhaps now more so than ever, the idea of getting kids into the system of the OHL earlier makes a lot of sense to me.
Do many teams talk about this?
You've just gone through a few days here.
Do teams mention things like this to you?
Speaking of younger players, I mean, junior hockey, we've seen players apply for and get granted and also rejected for exceptional status.
It's happened in all three leagues, positively and negatively as well.
The Cato Rourke situation was an interesting one.
Many were disappointed that he was denied exceptional status and the ability to get into the OHL a season earlier.
Um, and I'll tell you what, like right around that time, like when, when Cato work got, got turned down by Hockey Canada, there seemed to be like a real conversation about junior leagues in Canada going independent.
How much of a conversation is that on a day-to-day basis?
