The OHL is the “Ontario Hockey League” which was founded in 1933.
It’s a junior ice hockey league which is part of the Canadian Hockey league and the age limits for the OHL are 16-21. There are quite a few sportsbooks that have issues with the ability to bet on OHL due to those age limits however there are still some online sportsbooks that will allow you to bet on the OHL.
In this article I will talk about the best places to bet on OHL Hockey and why.
The OHL follows a similar format to the NHL with a regular season broken down by 4 divisions – East, Central, West and Midwest.
16 teams – 8 from each conference – then process to the playoffs and it’s a best of 7.
Like I said a lot of sportsbooks won’t cover the OHL due to the age range permitted to play in it however there are a few sportsbooks that do allow you to bet. Let’s cover those:
Where To Bet OHL Online:
America: The only place for Americans to bet on the OHL is Bovada. They’re a great sportsbook – formerly Bodog – and are very trustworthy. They offer a $250 welcome bonus as well.
The only bad thing about them is they take a little while to get their lines up – sometimes it’s just a couple of hours or so prior to game time. They usually have a decent amount of bets including 1st period betting.
They also offer handicap betting for the OHL.
Everywhere Else including Canada: The best option for betting the OHL out of America is 888. They offer up every single OHL game and they get lines up early on which is nice. You can bet on who will win and the over/under on goals as well as a few match props such as correct score.
A special note for Canadians – open up an account at Bodog as well. The reason for this is they also cover OHL, are a sportsbook exclusive to Canada, and you can often get better odds there due to the quantity of people betting on OHL there, as opposed to 888 which is open to an almost global audience.
How to Bet OHL Online:
Bovada: Click “Hockey” on the left sidebar and then in the green bar “All Hockey” shows up. You can just click “Canada” and that will filter it to the OHL as well as the WHL.
Bodog: You can follow the exact same instructions as Bovada to find the OHL betting and where to bet OHL hockey there. The reason for that is they both use the same software.
888: Simply searching via the search bar for “OHL” will bring it up. However you can also click “Ice Hockey” on the left and that will bring up the hockey section. The OHL will be on that page and you just have to expand the bar for it.
What OHL Bets/Props are there?
The basic bets found in hockey are there – you can bet on a team to win. You can choose whether it will include overtime/shootout or not, and you can also choose to bet that you think the game will go to overtime.
You can also bet on the total goals in a game with the over/under betting – the line is usually set at least 6.5 and often higher.
You can also do live betting on specific games depending on the sportsbook.
888 also offer specific match bets such as variables on the total goals, and handicap betting. They also offer the ability to bet the correct score, and choose the over/under on total team goals as well as if both teams will score.
Common OHL Betting Questions:
What OHL Match Props are available?
While there isn’t as big a variety as NHL, there is still a decent little amount. You can bet match handicaps such as betting on the Kingston Frontenacs +2.5 goals, the over/under on the game itself, the over/under on total team goals and then also the ability to bet on both teams to score.
Can you bet OHL Player Props online?
At this time you are unable to bet OHL Player Props online at any sportsbook unfortunately.
Can you bet OHL Futures online?
In all the years you have been able to bet OHL online, I’ve not seen the ability to bet any sort of OHL futures.
Why doesn’t Sports Interaction or other sportsbooks offer OHL?
There are a lot of online sportsbooks who choose not to cover leagues such as the OHL. The reason for this is the age of the players. Many sportsbooks feel uncomfortable offering betting odds within this environment.

OHL Betting Strategy:
Honestly there’s no specific betting strategy to the OHL – if you do your research you should be able to come out ahead. The research the sportsbooks does for the OHL isn’t too big due to it not being very popular to bet on. I’d advise you stick to a couple of OHL teams and really get to know them. Watch their games, figure out who the key players are etc. Then bet big when they play each other and you know how they are.
You’ll find a lot of the odds on the OHL are lop sided but if you do your research you should be able to pick out the underdog plays fairly easily or determine where handicap bets are best to make.
