One division and new OT format part of 312-game slate
SUDBURY, Ont. – The Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League (NOJHL) announced Tuesday its regular season schedule for the 2024-25 campaign.
A revised format will see each of the NOJHL’s 12-member clubs play 25 games at home and another 25 on the road.
Each team will also suit-up twice during the league’s annual Showcase event, which goes October 1-2 at Gerry McCrory Countryside Sports Complex in Sudbury.
As part of the 312-game slate, which features a more balanced schedule, sees two notable changes that will take affect for the upcoming season.
Firstly, there will be just one division of 12, with the Top 8 clubs in the final standings qualifying for the playoffs.
Secondly, the shootout has been eliminated and will see games that are tied after regulation go to a seven-minute overtime period, skating three players aside.
Should contests remain without a winner being decided after OT, the game will end in a tie and each squad will earn one point.
Teams will still receive two points for wins in regulation and OT as well as one for extra time defeats.
