The OUA released a full schedule a few months ago, but it's still not listed in the schedule portion of their site:

I suspect McGill is going to dominate the OUA again this year. They just played two very competitive games against UNB over the weekend. They might have the best goaltending tandem in the country with Guindon and rookie Antoine Samuel. Offence will probably be amongst the top 5 in the country as well.

Broadcast quality varies by school, but all games should be broadcast on oua.tv, at the link above. It's Free!

Does anyone have stats on OUA players moving on to play pro hockey? Would be great to see a split by league (NHL, AHL, European leagues) over the past few years. Thanks.

Simon Bourque, former Rimouski captain and 6'th round pick of Montreal, to join Redmen for the second half. This is a major addition to McGill's already talented roster.
McGill, has been the elite program in the OUA or the past few seasons, but
they have not been able to advance to a UCup final, since winning it's lone title in 2012.
Are they at Alberta/UNB level, with this addition?

The addition of Bourque will give them ridiculous depth on the blue line. On paper, their depth is on par with Alberta / UNB, but McGill lacks the high-end offensive threats.

Of course, that's on paper. Losing 7-5 at home to Lakehead is NOT something that an elite team should do.

On paper, Queen's is very impressive this year. Deep and talented, with two tremendous goalies. They will struggle to score, but I'd be stunned if McGill and Queen's did not emerge from the OUA East.

A bit of a surprise not to see McGill in the top ten rankings or UQTR.
Queens, Ottawa, Carleton have improved the competitive nature of this conference!
Right now, outside of Ryerson, the OUA East seems considerably stronger than the OUA West.

My recommendation would be to visit respective school's page on Elite Prospects and look at the Where are They Now Feature.

Thanks. I did not realize that Elite Prospects had this feature. With a bit of digging it does provide the answer!
