Junior Ontario Hockey

What is a 'club team"? Who are they in the GOJHL?

I think that the final 4 seconds of that game are to be played the next time Hamilton is in Fort Erie again, which is this Saturday.

So, has the GOJHL Inc. basically kicked the 10 other teams out of the GOJHL? I don't understand how that is possible.

Do I have this right?
GOJHL is a Junior B league under the OHA.
GOJHL Inc. is a group of owners of teams within the GOJHL that charges players to play on their teams.

Does GOJHL Inc. have any authority to make any decisions (rules, policy, etc.) about the GOJHL? What exactly is their purpose?

Anyone here from St. Catharines, Niagara, Welland or Thorold care to comment??

St,Catharines, Welland and Port Colborne are all IN Niagara. Do you mean Niagara Falls?

I can't fathom how a team that openly declares itself NOT part of a league still plays in that league. How is that possible?

I don't think any team has improved as much as Buffalo. They haven't won yet, but their goals against is down from 11 last year to 6 this year. They haven't had double digits scored against them so far as opposed to the frequent teens and 20's of last year. And several games have been surprisingly c...

Niagara deserved it

still think Niagara will win it

Niagara is the Region (with 6 teams). Niagara Falls is the city. Not interchangeable.

"....smaller market teams will cease to exist...." I've always been curious as to what constitutes a "small market". Would a town of, say, 10,000 people where 150 show up to watch a game (with that attendance being one of the lowest in the league) be considered such? I would think so, but that would...

"...Cotton from N.F..."
perhaps you are referring to Harrison Cottam?

Although Buffalo is an extreme anomaly, each GOJHL division has its week sisters, just like any league in any sport. It's part of the game.

Fort Erie goalie scores empty net goal

He was just the last FE player to touch the puck before a NF player tried a pass out from behind the FE net and it went all the way down the ice into the empty net. He played a fantastic game also, to go with the goal.

The Canucks seem to be able to compete with the top teams, it's the others they have trouble with. In their last 10 games, they've lost to Ancaster (twice), Welland, Fort Erie and Thorold, as well as Caledonia and St. Kitts. In that stretch, they've only beat St.Catharines and Buffalo. Granted, 5 of...

there are 6 teams in Niagara however only 1 of them play in our league

Niagara Falls, St.Catharines, Welland, Fort Erie, Thorold, Pelham. Looks like 6 to me, and I'm pretty sure they all play in the GOJHL.

....league needs to learn that it's St. Marys

And that it's Niagara Falls, not Niagara. There are 6 teams in Niagara.

Junior B calibre officials refereeing a Junior B game. Who woulda thought.

If this happens, wouldn't it mean that a Junior B franchise would become available in these 2 cities, IF someone wanted it? I realise that it's extremely unlikely due to ice times, advertising, etc., etc., but just wondering.

Based on the play of the Canucks in Fridays 7-0 loss to Thorold, it will be a quick 4 straight for Fort Erie.

The St. Catharines Falcons on Oct 16, 2015 also beat Caledonia with a 3 - 1 score at home in Regulation time

That was in St.Catharines, not Caledonia.

it's all posturing for whats coming down the road

Which is?????????

If the OHA would even consider eliminating a team that can't beat anybody (which they certainly won't), then they must also look hard at the team that nobody else can beat, n'est pa?

Just saw Caledonia for the first time this year at the game in the Falls last night. I was expecting to see a slick machine and, to a certain extent, that is what they are. But the lingering impression that I had all game is that this is a bully team. As hurricane73 said, they play an extremely aggr...

Dec. 8, 2015 St.Catharines 3 - Niagara Falls 2
The last game that the Falcons won (0-4-0-3)
The last game that the Canucks lost (7-0-0-0)

No fat for the Falcons. Just not good enough to beat the Canucks.

You are looking at the wrong website. That's for minor hockey. This is for a professional league that is hoping to start play in 2016. http://www.naphl.org/home.html

Ta

Ya, that's what I found too. No teams that I can see.

Perhaps you could supply the link?

What teams are there? I can't find any evidence that this league even operates.

There are 6 teams in Niagara. He signed with Niagara Falls.

Bad for who?
There's only one spectator arena in Niagara Falls and it already houses 2 junior teams (which, of course, take priority), plus all the minor and rental teams. If there's not enough ice time available, end of story.

The City of Niagara Falls has prevented a Greater Metro Junior A Hockey League team from playing in the city by denying them ice time at the Gale Centre.
