Chris Kemlo and PBR Ontario Staff
PBR Ontario Director of Scouting

We would like to thank all who participated in PBR Ontario's 2019 Ontario New Year Open. This was a great opportunity for 2019-2022 prospects to be identified before season, create and update their profiles, as well see where they stack up with their peers. Many players impressed during their individual workouts at the showcase and below we have the complete statistical results from the event as well as the top performers across various different categories.

In the coming weeks, we will be adding and updating profiles for each of the players in attendance, including complete analysis and video.
