The Canadian Hockey League in association with the Ontario Hockey League and the Guelph Storm and Sarnia Sting Hockey Clubs announced on Tuesday the Team OHL rosters for the 2012 SUBWAY® Super Series.
Team OHL will face the Russian National Junior Team in Game 3 of the series in Guelph, Ontario on Thursday November 8 with Sarnia hosting Game 4 on Monday November 12. The series also includes two games in the QMJHL prior to both OHL games, with the series wrapping up with two games hosted by the WHL.
As expected, many of the 34 players selected for Team OHL rosters are NHL draft picks (28), including six players on Team OHL that were selected in the first round of the 2012 NHL Entry Draft. In addition, three players included on the roster are expected to be first round selections in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft (Max Domi, Kerby Rychel, Sean Monahan).
Team OHL enters the tenth anniversary of this event with a perfect 18-0 record against Team Russia following a 10-7 win last season in Ottawa, and a 6-3 victory in Sault Ste. Marie.
