    11 teams from OJHL, NOJHL and Germany competing at events

    August 9, 2024, Mississauga, ON – ….  The Ontario Junior Hockey League (OJHL) in conjunction with two of its member teams are hosting preseason showcase tournaments later this month to kick off the season.

    The Collingwood Blues’ third annual Cottage Cup Showcase is being played at the new Wasaga Stars Arena in Wasaga Beach, ON Aug. 27-29. The $60 million twin-pad arena and library complex opened in January.

    “The Collingwood Blues are excited to host the Cottage Cup again this year,” said Blues’ General Manager Mike Tarantino. “Having teams attend from the OJHL, the NOJHL, and Europe adds to the experience for the teams, players, and scouts. 

    Over the past few years, the event has grown as we have seen an increased number of NCAA, OHL, U SPORTS and NHL scouts in attendance.  We believe it will be a great event to kick off the 2024-2025 season.”

    The defending OJHL and Centennial Cup champion Blues will represent the OJHL in the event along with the Trenton Golden Hawks, Leamington Flyers, Toronto Jr. Canadiens and Buffalo Jr. Sabres. The touring Jungadler Mannheim U20 team from Germany is returning to the tournament. The Powassan Voodoo and Timmins Rock from the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League round out the field.

    “We’re looking forward to the Canucks Jr Classic at the end of August,” said Canucks Governor and Co-Owner Frank Pietrangelo. “This event is a great opportunity to see players in game situations and see the compete level that they bring. It’s early going, but we already have a number of NCAA D1 and D3 schools committed to coming to Niagara to scout these players. We can’t wait to get going!”

    The tournament features an all-OJHL field, including the Wellington Dukes, Aurora Tigers, Buffalo Jr. Sabres and the host Niagara Falls Canucks.
