On Wednesday, TSN's Rick Westhead is set to release a new report, which alleges that the OHL Commissioner, David Branch, has confirmed the league hired an investigator to examine allegations that some hockey parents paid to secure their sons' selection in the 2022 OHL draft. The report suggests that three coaches from the Greater Toronto Hockey League (GTHL) have provided evidence, including text messages, that indicate parents paid more than $30,000 for their sons' selection.

However, Branch has not yet answered questions regarding the identity of the investigator, the scope of the OHL's investigation, the duration, or how much the investigator was paid.
David Branch statement:
"Last year we conducted an independent third-party investigation into the allegations that you mention and could find no evidence of any team tampering with the draft nor teams acting in a manner prejudicial to the welfare of the League... I would ask that . the people you have spoken to, please provide it to the League and we will review it and determine if further investigation is required"
