Branch has been commissioner of the OHL since its inception in 1980.
“As a league, we are in great communities,” David Branch said in an interview with Global News.
“We have loyal fan bases that are very hockey-orientated. They understand the game, they have a passion for the game.” Branch announced in August that the 2023-24 OHL season will be his last as league commissioner, a position he has held since 1979.“I’m looking forward to … this year and then working with the league and assisting with the new commissioner any way I can.”, which oversees all three major junior leagues in Canada, until 2019.There has been no announcement on who will succeed Branch as OHL commissioner. The league hasn’t announced the process in the search for his replacement.
Over the last 45 years, Branch has made decisions that some would say were difficult, especially when they were about the fate of a player, coach or team. Fans and media would often clash with Branch over those decisions but he says he respected their opinions.
