Re: Chatham forfeits game

London lost the win because of the use of three 15 year-olds - one over the limit allowed to play in any single game.

2020/21 Season Cancelled

This morning Apr. 12, 2021 the GOJHL issued a press release stating that the 2020/21 season was cancelled due to on-going Covid issues. It sounds like they have finally realized that there was no time for any kind of season and are now focusing on the future.

Re: Cost For Teams

Re: GOJHL and their low standards

Back to the original thread of why the LaSalle-Chatham first playoff game was not entered properly and fixed as soon as some people would have liked. First, the LaSalle PS score keeper used the drop down imput box to indicate the tyoe of game and marked it as a regular season game instead of a playo...

Re: 19/20 Season Predictions

I was at the Maroons-Flyers game. Both clubs are strong. Chatham's Rychel-Robinson-Power line did all the Maroons' damage, but Chatham will have to depend more other players than just that one line. Both teams delivered some good hits - and for the Maroons the rookies did receive plenty of ice time....

Re: St. Marys

A history lesson on St. Marys franchise: In 1956/57 the Lincs along with Woodstock entered the OHA West replacing New Hamburg and Simcoe. (Between that tie and 1964/65 Stratford, Preston, Goderich, Ingersoll and Tillsonburg also played in the West.) St. Marys entered the Central B loop in 1964/65 an...

Re: Season Schedule

The GOJHL schedule is not usually done until mid-July. I would be very surprised if it has been completed. Most seasons (except last year) it is confirmed and finalized by the end of July and seldom posted until a week before Kick-off. Fans can only hope that perhaps there is a policy change and the...

Falcons new bench boss

The St. Catharines Falcons wasted little time acquiring new head coach after Chris Johnstone stepped down recently. Former Cambridge head coach Dan Fitzgerald takes over. It didn't take the club long to fill the vacancy.

Re: Off season news

The main reason Riggin was head coach was because he worked for free. Anyone seriously interested in the head coaching job will want compensation - that puts an onus on the club's GM and the Rockets' fundraising. So the question now is: experienced coach or one with little experience?

As to using a bus for travel - most Jr. B teams use the comfort of a coach bus to travel to long distance games; when teams are fairly close to each other, it only makes sense to save by having the players drive themselves or get rides to the location. As for Strathroy's radio broadcasts - a couple ...
