  The Stanley Cup playoff time is upon us. With the Philadelphia Flyers beating the New York Rangers yesterday afternoon in a shootout, all the teams for this season’s run to the cup are set.

  Of course, any Ontario Hockey League fan has one eye still focused on the OHL playoffs and the other is watching the NHL. This season, there are 93 OHL alumni competing in the Stanley Cup playoffs. All OHL teams are represented and each NHL team has at least 3 OHL grads on the roster.

  Over the next 8 posts, OHL Alumni Central will feature, series by series, the OHL grads playing for the Cup. Today, we’ll look at the overall numbers by NHL and OHL teams.

  The Buffalo Sabres and Colorado Avalanche are the NHL leaders with 9 OHL alumni on each roster. The Vancouver Canucks, aka Team Sweden, has the least with 3. Interestingly, the Ontario team, Ottawa Senators, has 8 OHL alumni which puts them second while the two non-Ontario Canadian teams, Montreal and Vancouver have the lowest number of OHLers.

  Team	OHL Alumni
  Buffalo Sabres	9
  Colorado Avalanche	9
  Ottawa Senators	8
  Nashville Predators	7
  Los Angeles Kings	7
  New Jersey Devils	6

  San Jose Sharks	5
  Chicago Blackhawks	5
  Phoenix Coyotes	5

  The number of alumni representing each OHL team brings some surprises. Take note that the totals will add up to more than 93. Players that played on more than one team over their OHL career were counted on each team they played on. With all the flash of the London Knights and Windsor Spitfires, it is the Sudbury Wolves that are the biggest producer of talent in this year’s playoffs. The team that is expected to be in the OHL finals this season, the Barrie Colts, have the least.
