Round two of the Ontario Junior Hockey League (OJHL) playoffs has been announced.

It was quick first round around the league. The Menace made quick work of the Pickering Panthers, winning the series 4-1 to make up for a 2022 North/West Conference final 3-0 series sweep. The Collingwood Blues managed to sweep the Stouffville Spirit 4-0 in their first round match-up. The Blues outscored the Spirit 22-5 in those four games.
The Blues were the best team in the OJHL North/West Conference. They had a dominant 44-9-0-1 record this past season, giving them 89 points. As for the Menace, they were 31-19-2-2 with 66 points. If the Menace are to win this series, they’ll need to play hard and get a bit of puck luck.
