The following reports cover games played through the end of day Tuesday, April 28th.
Ontario Hockey League (OHL)
Jared Woolley, Kitchener Rangers, LH Defenseman (164th overall in 2024)
2025-26 Stats: 13 goals, 28 assists, plus-35, 106 PIM in 78 games played
Woolley hasn’t found the scoresheet through three games of the OHL Western Conference Final, but Kitchener leads Windsor two games to one. As is practically tradition through this playoff run, his presence has been felt in other ways. He generated four shots in Game 1, including an overtime attempt where he found soft ice in front of the net and tried a between-the-legs shot. Then, Game 3 got physical. Woolley and Windsor’s Jack Nesbitt had been barking at each other through the penalty boxes after receiving offsetting roughing penalties, and the moment they stepped out of the box they dropped the gloves at center ice. After a few exchanged shots, Woolley pulled Nesbitt’s jersey and landed several rights before officials stepped in. Never a wise decision to take on the 6-foot-5 “Wolf”.
While it may seem concerning that the Rangers’ number-one defenseman is pointless through three games this round, that stretch hasn’t slowed the Rangers down one bit. And with a chance to take a commanding 3-1 series lead on Wednesday night, Woolley’s impact will be felt through his physicality, intensity, and compete.
This would've been insane
