Niagara
OHL Legacy Tournament.

Hi guys and gals. I figured with all of us missing hockey so badly, I could add some fun and come up with this hypothetical tournament for you to submit rosters to. I'm curious to see what they look like.

Imagine the OHL had a tournament this summer where each franchise could play a roster consisting of all-time greats. Assemble what your team’s roster would like under the following rules.

1) You get the player as is. Their current age, skill and playing status. If you want Orr or Gretzky on your team that is okay, but you get them at their current age. Imagine each team gets a 2 week training camp. (For example, my roster has a now retired goaltender. 2 weeks to get in shape!)

2) You can only place a player on your roster if he played more games for your franchise than any other (regular season and playoffs combined). Tie breaker goes to the last team that the player played on.

3) The players must be at least 18 years of age or 2020 NHL draft eligible.

4) The player must have played in the OHL. You can’t claim a player that your team drafted but he never played for anyone. Again, he must have actually played for your franchise, and for that franchise longer than any other.

5) This is about franchises, meaning yes, North Bay can use Brampton players and so on…

6) Pick 12 forwards, 6 dmen, and 2 goalies.

Example. My submission for the Niagara Ice Dogs (fellow Dogs fans, feel free to scold me and make changes!)

Andrew Agozzino - Ryan Strome- Brendan Perlini
Phil Tomasino- Carter Verhaeghe - Akil Thomas
Ben Jones - Andrew Shaw – Kirill Maksimov
Ales Friesen - Ivan Lodnia – David Pacan

Vince Dunn - Alex Pietrangelo
Jamie Oleksiak - Dougie Hamilton
Kyle Quincy - Jesse Graham

Stephen Dhillon
Mark Visentin

Overall Niagara looks thin up-front and in net, but that top-4 Defense will be tough to beat.

Matthew Tkachuk-Christian Dvorak-Mitch Marner
Max Domi-Bo Horvat-Patrick Kane
Vlad Namestnikov-Nazem Kadri-Josh Anderson
Pat Maroon-Chris Tierney-Robert Thomas

Nikita Zadorov-John Carlson
Olli Maatta-Evan Bouchard
Scott Harrington-Victor Mete

Steve Mason/Anthony Stolarz

a little weak in net, but I don’t think it would matter...

at least 8 cup rings I can think of off the top of my head (Kane x3, Maatta x2, Maroon, Thomas, Carlson)

It's an interesting concept but "all-time greats" is misleading. Obviously 60 year old Wayne Gretzky or 72 year old Bobby Orr aren't playing. You're actually taking recent greats that are currently successful in pro hockey.

NailYakupov - Jamieson Rees - Jacob Perreault
Matt Martin - Ryan McGregor - Brett Ritchie

With both a current age and a “take as is” stipulation in place, I would put something like this together for SSM;

Jared McCann - Jeff Carter - Zach Senyshyn
Barrett Hayton - Nick Cousins - Morgan Frost
Boris Katchouk - Joe Thornton - Jack Kopacka
Tim Gettinger - Hayden Verbeek - Keeghan Howdeshell

Jake Muzzin - Colin Miller
Darnell Nurse - Connor Timmins
Rasmus Sandin* - Mac Hollowell
(Ryan Sproul, Ryan O’Rourke)

Matt Murray
Robin Lehner
HM: Ray Emery :(

Coach: Sheldon Keefe

GM: Kyle Dubas

*Played more games in SSM than other OHL Franchises but was loaned. If he doesn’t qualify then O’Rourke/Sproul jumps in.

If I forgot someone and another Soo fan would like to amend, feel free!

Edit: I sinned and left out Colin Miller, he’s been added.

Wow harder than it looks if you want guys that still can play. Here goes for Ottawa
Jamie McGinn-Logan Couture-T. Toffoli
S.Prince-S. Monaghan-T. Konecny
T.Felhaber-M.Rossi-J.Quinn
M.Hoelscher-S-Chemlevsky-K.Clark

C.Ceci-J.Middleton
K.Bahl-N.Hoefenmayer
N.Okhotiuk-Campbell

P.Mrazek
C.Andree

Decent forwards although very young reflective of our last two years. Decent #1 goalie. However that defense would be shredded, heck I had to take a 40 y.o. retired guy. If Potvin, Wilson weren't so old different story.

Saginaw’s team:

(Very international flavor to it. Basically a glorified AHL team minus a few big names. Also for the most part, they're either just at the start of their pro careers or on their way out. Highlights the 7 or 8 years where we were just complete meh.)

Cole Perfetti-Vincent Trocheck-Brandon Saad
Ivan Telegin-Mitchell Stephens-Jan Mursak
Michael Birner-Tom Pyatt-Marek Kvapil
Tomas Zaborsky-Eric Locke-Jordan Szwarz

TJ Brodie-Filip Hronek
Keaton Middleton-Patrick McNeill
Bode Wilde-Ville Niemillinan (spelling)

Noted and changed. Thanks

Thank you everyone for participating. Really cool to see these rosters.

Yup, Sandin matches all requirements. It doesn't matter how the player was acquired as long as he played more games for your OHL franchise than any other. Cheers

This is a unique and fun twist on the typical “all-star” teams

My team for Erie:

Debrincat - McDavid - Connor Brown
Burakovsky - O’Reilly - McKegg
T. Raddysh - Strome - Ivan Lodnia
Marchment - Geoff Platt - Peluso

Dermott - Cernak
Pelech - D. Raddysh
Campoli - Drysdale

Janus

**Edit: I was made aware that Mason Marchment only played 1 year in Erie but that was more than anywhere else in his OHL career. He now is on the 4th line over Luke Gazdic

Here is an attempt for Battalion (Brampton and North Bay combined, but heavily weighted to NB). If any Troops’ fans want to make amendments, please have at it.
Notes: 1) I wanted to include Cody Hodgson, but see he hasn’t competed in about 5 seasons, presume he couldn’t rehab in the 2 week camp; 2) Don’t know if Ryan O. can still competitively lace ‘em up, but figured why not? Might as well have the only alumnus / playing coach in the tournament.

Matt Duchene – Mike Amadio – Justin Brazeau
Barclay Goodrow – Nick Paul – Sam Carrick
Ryan Oulahen – Matthew Struthers – Brandon Coe
Brad Chenier – Luke Moncada – Mathew Santos

Cam Dineen – Brent Burns
Miles Liberati – Kyle Wood
Ken Peroff – Dylan Blujus

Jake Smith – Matej Machovsky

(Playing) Coach – Ryan Oulahen
Gen. Mgr. – SrJrFan

Gotta find room for Wolski on this. Outside of that love the lineup, lots of memories from games vs the Wolves.

As far as the Wolves go

Nick Foligno - Quinton Byfield - Dominik Kubalik
Dominik Kahun - Eric O'Dell - Josh Leivo
Marcus Foligno - Michael Sgarbossa - Dimitry Sokolov
Nick Baptiste- Derek MacKenzie - Matt Schmalz


Ben Chiarot - Kyle Capobianco
Marc Staal - Adam McQuaid
Alexei Semenov - Frank Corrado

Mike Smith
Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen

I'm positive I missed some big names that are still active, but this is what I came up with.

Fronts:
Lawson Crouse - Sam Bennett - Chris Stewart

Juho Lammikko - Cory Emmerton - Linus Nyman
Henri Ikonen - Ethan Werek - Spencer Watson/Martin Chromiak

Erik Gudbranson - Roland McKeown
Jarkko Parikka - Eemili Rasanen
Chad Duchesne - Mike Moffat

Danny Taylor
Jeremy Helvig

Better than I initially thought it'd be, lots of Finnish influence, pretty weak on the back-end. I wanted to throw Wright in there but I think he's a little young.

If anyone else has any suggestions I'm all ears.

Much different than the ALL TIME team!

Ottawa 67’s:

Barron-Monahan-Toffoli
McGinn-Couture-Konecny
Felhaber-Rossi-Quinn
Clark-Chmelevski-Graovac

Ceci-B. Campbell
M Cajkovsky-Hoefenmayer
Middleton-Bahl

Mrazek
Andree

Similar to Sirius’ but some differences!

Graovac over Hoelscher? Interesting! Did think about Barron and in retrospect probably should have put him over Clark ( was never a huge fan) but I'd keep Prince. The other forward I considered was Tyanulin. Forgot about big Mike on D but still think Okhotiuk is better.

Big Mike is putting up serious numbers for Dynamo!

The reality is this exercise really proves how GAWD AWFUL this franchise has been in the last two decades. Six proven NHLERS?

Couture
Monahan
Toffoli
Konecny
Ceci
Mrazek

Pretty sad really. Eight of the players on that lineup played for Ottawa within the last two years.

The defence is so bad we both have Brian Campbell in there and he’s been retired for a few years!

Can't really think of anyone you're missing (Akim Aliu??) but I don't think Chiarot would be eligible - he played more games for Guelph before being traded to the Wolves.

Dang, you're right there on Chiarot, not sure who you'd swap in. Akim Aliu wouild definitely be on my personal team, but felt like he did not quite make the cut on this one.

Dan Paille-Peter Holland-Ryan Callahan

Tyler Bertuzzi-Jason Dickinso-Dustin Brown

Brock McGinn-Robbi Fabri-Nate Schnaar
*Gogolev this time next year

Doughty-merkley
Girardi-Samorukov
Chariot-Matt Finn or Fedor Tyutin

Craig Anderson
Garret Sparks

Coach - Burnett
Accociate- Hartsburgh
GM - E.J. McGuire (rip)
