Who wants to take guesses on the 4 hubs? I’d think London and Soo are almost guaranteed and probably Oshawa the 4th is a question

Of the 20 potential OHL hub sites, only one arena staff has successfully hosted a tournament during the pandemic. Niagara seems a logical choice to be one of them...

Just my thoughts on the hub cities and it does not matter to me what city is a hub.
Sudbury
Oshawa
Niagara
London

Statement from Branch

First and foremost, the Ontario Hockey League is anxious to return to play and eager to get our players back on the ice to drop the puck on a 2020-21 Regular Season. As we have for many months, we continue to work hard toward ensuring a safe return to play for everyone.

We are encouraged by our ongoing discussions with Government and Public Health agencies, but have not yet arrived at an approved Return to Play framework for the coming season.

The League will share more information with our players, families, staff, billets and tremendous fans as a finalized plan for a safe return to the ice becomes available.

David Branch,
OHL Commissioner

I don’t see 3 east city’s unless you’re changing the division around and one of us and Sudbury are considered west this year

My thinking is that in Niagara hub, we would have Erie, Hamilton, Missy and Kitchener or Guelph.
Merely my thought.

I'd be surprised if it happens, but I'll throw a dart...
