Veteran junior hockey media commentator Alex Bastyovanszky will host both for the OJHL

September 18, 2024, Mississauga, ON – ….  The Ontario Junior Hockey League (OJHL), has brought back its popular OJ Reels video highlights/news feature for the 2024-25 season.  The OJHL will produce 36 shows during the season.  

Additionally, the OJHL has announced it will execute on its planned strategy to expand its digital media footprint with the introduction of a new OJHL podcast show starting this season. The show will debut in early October with more details to come. 

Veteran junior hockey media commentator Alex Bastyovanszky will host and produce OJ Reels and the podcast show.

“I’m pumped to be back doing OJ Reels once again, after the tremendous reaction the shows received last year,” said Bastyovanszky. “This season we’ll continue to focus on short, targeted content featuring the best the league has to offer.”

The first two OJHL Reels episodes have been released to coincide with the opening of the OJHL regular season. OJHL Reels focuses on the league’s 24 teams, special events, league alumni news and college commitments made by our players during the season.

The OJHL’s strategic plan included creating a podcast, which the organization is ready to unveil. The show will include in-depth interviews with figures from around the league in a more relaxed setting than previously done.
