Re: Merlin Gone?

It is hard to believe that any team exec on the Lincolns would be so stupid to take a run at Merlin .He lives only a half block from the Arena and spends more time at the rink than any one can imagine . They talked him into coming back to rebuild the team and it looks like he was doing a good job . ...

Re: New Season

It is really good when you can fill in the empty spots with home brew kids . They be lucky if they get 2 a year from our system . Merlin spent about three years in the triple a teams in North Middelsex . And he will be bringing some kids to our team from there . The chance of winning with these firs...

Re: New Season

Merlin is opening training camp on the 23. You may call it poor management ,but when you are not putting fans in the arena .Billeting becomes an expensive problem ,if they go to high school that is another huge expense . someone has to foot the bill.The B team is a big commitement for boys driving f...

Re: St Marys Transactions

You are wrong about money .The guy behind the Lincoln franchise is a very wealthy business man .He is obviously keeping his losses. at a minimum . Have the rules providing players with money changed in this league ,maybe this should be investigated , I heard Norwich got warned a couple years ago for...

Re: St Marys Transactions

A player has a better chance playing out till the trade dead line ,and tell his team managers he would like to be traded on friendly leave .Other teams would more consider that as well,but to just walk off and with hold ones work efforts looks bad. no doubt none of them will be back on a lincolns ro...

Re: 2 Lincs Looking for a New Home?

the Lincolns could improve their image by getting rid of their ugly home sweaters,who picked those clours.
and going back to the colours they had last year.

Re: 2 Lincs Looking for a New Home?

If you look at the territories that StMarys can draw from ,then look at the minor hockey systems in those areas it is not hard to understand why they have a tough time recruiting good players.The only players they can have is left overs from Stratford or London.Our minor hockey system is not big eno...

Re: Checking from behind Game misconduct

From the few games I watched this year and other years ,most of those checking from behind penalties are simple rub outs on the boards and not really a hit at all.The junior A games I go to here in the valley ,that call is non existant.I did notice up there in the GOHA league a lot of bad feelings b...

Re: not about hockey at all

They have arrested a couple from Guelph and charged them with murder ,this is sure a let down ,makes one wonder what kind of police action would have resulted if the Stafford kid and her parrents were from the upper side of the tracks . The Amber alert should have been out with in an hour ,all highw...

Re: not about hockey at all

The mother is just too cool ,Every woman I know if their eight year old daughter was missing they would be so up set ,they would never be able to go on TV with so much cool. She seems to know the girl is not hurt but how does she know ,She keeps denying that drugs are involved but if there is ,they ...
