Little Cap Adam Varga Drafted by OHL’s Mississauga Steelheads 

The Washington Little Capitals are pleased to announce that 15U forward Adam Varga has been drafted by the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) Mississauga Steelheads in the 2017 OHL Priority Selection draft. 

The OHL is one of the three Major Junior ice hockey leagues which constitute the Canadian Hockey League (CHL), the highest level of junior hockey in Canada.  The OHL is a professional hockey league made up of 16-21 year old players, and competes with the NCAA for top talent in the U.S. and Canada. 

Varga was selected by the Steelheads in the 7th round, 121st overall. 

“We are extremely proud of Adam,” said Little Caps hockey director Dan Jablonic.  “He was not only drafted, he was drafted high. They had 15 rounds in that draft.  It shows they really want him.”  “His selection is a great testament to Adam’s skill and hard work,” Jablonic said.  “And it’s also a testament to his teammates.  Success doesn’t just happen with one player, you have to have great guys to play with.” 

Varga has that in his line mates, Mac Robertson and Reid Leibold, Jablonic says. “That line is getting a lot of attention, and rightfully so.  Those kids are working hard.”
