“You never know what can happen.”

For 17-year-old goalie Sophie Jovanovic, those words have taken on new meaning after the Toronto student became just the second female player ever selected in an Ontario Hockey League draft.

While the OHL is not restricted to male players, it has been overwhelmingly male throughout its history, making Jovanovic just the second female player ever selected in its draft.

The Brantford Bulldogs selected Jovanovic 40th overall in the Under-18 draft this week, a milestone that gives the Toronto teen an opportunity to attend the team’s training camp and compete for a place in one of Canada’s highest levels of junior hockey.
