I reckon in general an OHL team would be favored to win, and probably would, but a D1 college team would be skilled enough that they could pull out a win if they played better that game.
Depends on which teams play + if fighting is allowed or not as it’s frowned upon in D1
(I am aware of this as I am on excellent terms with a former coach at Western Michigan)
The OHL teams would win some games against D1 teams from time to time. Generally, I would pick the D1 team to win even if. The majority of the players on the D1 team are older and more mature both physically and emotionally than the OHL players. Most players in the NCAA have spent some time in Juniors and are typically 19-20 when they start with the NCAA team. That is the age of the older players on the OHL team.
Another business to consider. The NCAA D-1 teams have beaten the Canadian college teams sweet regularly over the past few years. The Canadian colleges allow players who have gone through the OHL to play at those schools. Granted, those players are the ones who did not land professional contracts but it is still an indicator.
NCAA D1 teams win against CHL teams nearly 90% of the time.
CHL teams have players ranging in age from 16 to 20, with the digit of 20 yr ancient set at 3, so basically most of the players are 17, 18, and 19 (the average age of a CHL player is 18yrs 7mos for this season)
NCAA D-1 teams are players who are generally older (19 through 22) and and more experienced, having played in the USHL, Prep School, or Tier Two Junior A in Canada. The average age of an NCAA D-1 player for this year is 20yrs 10mos.
In the 60s and 70s (and 1980), the Memorial Cup champion would play against NCAA D-1 teams on a regular basis and lose.
This also applies to Canadian University Hockey as well. The University of Calgary Dinos have a 30 year winning streak against WHL teams. The University of Guelph hasn’t lost to the Storm since the early 90s and they play 1 game annually. The difference between the NCAA anmd CIS/CIAU is that the CIAU has a higher average age (just over 22yrs of age), allows former CHL players (NCAA does not allow players who have played a CHL game to participate), and former NHL players. In the late 80s/early 90s…Wilfrid Laurier University had former Boston Bruins goaltender Mike Moffatt as their starter…a few years after his last NHL game.

Probably OHL but it really depends on the team
well it depends what team and the certain players but most likely an OHL team
