Former OJHLers Ian DeLong (pictured - photo courtesy of Curry College Athletics) and Jordan Reed were both named members of the ECAC-Northeast All-Conference Teams for the performances throughout the 2012-13 season.

F - Ian DeLong (Curry College Colonels) - 1st Team All-Conference
The native of Klutztown, Pennsylvania played three seasons in the OJHL, beginning as an 18-year old rookie with the Oswego Admirals in 2006-07.  After finishing third on the club with 17 goals and fourth in overall scoring with 36 points, he would move on to join the Port Hope Predators after the Admirals suspended operations that summer.  DeLong would notch six points in 11 games before a trade saw him moved to the Seguin Bruins and despite having his season limited due to injuries, he would still post respectable numbers with 7 goals and 18 points in just 23 games played.

His final season of junior saw him once again split the season between Seguin and Port Hope, this time the Bruins leading scorer with 64 points was traded the other direction at the deadline to help the Predators playoff push.  DeLong would finish tied for 11th in OPJHL goal scoring with 40 goals and second on Port Hope in scoring with 76 points, before facing a first round playoff sweep at the hands of Lindsay.  He would spend two seasons at SUNY-Plattsburgh before joining the Colonels last season.

F - Jordan Reed (Curry College Colonels) - 2nd Team All-Conference
The native of Ajax, Ontario would join the OJHL with his hometown Attack, playing one game in 2006-07 and four games, as well as the club's playoff run, in 2007-08, before becoming a full-time member of the team in 2008-09.  The rookie would post 30 points in 44 games played to finish sixth on Ajax in scoring as an 18-year old.  The following year would see Reed take his place among the elite players in the newly formed CCHL, finishing tied for third in overall scoring with 91 points to earn the East Division Most Improved Player Award, as well as being named to the CCHL All-Star Team that played in the Battle of Ontario versus the CJHL.  With his services in demand, Reed's final season of Junior hockey saw him play for three different clubs.  After starting the season with Georgetown Raiders, where he notched 15 points in 15 games played, Reed was moved to Aurora where the playmaker went on a tear, recording 34 points in 25 games played, including 26 assists.  Finally, he was moved to the Tigers North Division rival, Huntsville Otters, for the club's run as the host of the 2011 Dudley-Hewitt Cup, where he would finish the season as the team's second leading scorer with 57 points.
