Re: When will they pull the plug on this season?
What other league's are operating? Every junior league in the States. (USHL, NAHL, USPHL, etc.) The CCHL is playing games right now up in Ottawa area. Out West the AJHL is starting back up, as is out east in the Maritimes with the MJAHL. Many OJHL and GOJHL have been dealing players to these variou...

Re: When will they pull the plug on this season?
Why would they?
As soon as they do -- the players become free agents and can go where seasons are still going without teams being compensated for the move. Also would mean teams couldn't continue to practice as insurance wouldn't cover team skates that are going on (even if no games).

This league just makes decisions piggybacking on the OJHL. Envious much? Said it b...

Re: Cost For Teams
All Midwest teams bus their teams to away games. I've seen Waterloo/Kitchener take buses literally 15 min down the road to each other's rinks.

Re: Somethings Cooking
Its time to stick a fork in this league. They have rolled over and have played dead ever since they signed the agreement with the OJHL. The OJ continues to drive the GO into dismay. Its time for the 9 or 10 good teams (good owners ) to pull up stakes and find another league to play in, (OJHL, CCHL)...

A plan to be classified as Jr A? Sure.
Otherwise, GOJ is at the mercy of other leagues being able to take their players pretty damn easy.

All reports seem to suggest the league is trying to contract teams, not add.
Unless a team goes up for sale, I don't see it.

Re: GOJHL and their low standards
Here's the facts! It's costly to run a junior hockey team. MOST GOJ teams try to keep costs low for players and rely more on sponsors, gates, etc. to run their programs at break even. Money is not made in this world. Because of this, teams rely on a lot of volunteers for things like scorekeeping, ga...

Re: Attendance
And how many show up to the 99er’s game. I can tell ya. Not a whole lot. Maybe 100-150. That’s pathetic as well. What's more pathetic is that there is 8 teams in the OJHL doing worse in attendance. It's interesting to note that the Bombers average more in attendance than the Brampton Admirals who p...

Burlington. Or maybe a merger with the Jr C team in Woodstock (similar to how the old Brantford Jr B team merged with Caledonia when they were still Jr C).

Not sure I'd say upset. Waterloo handled Listy pretty good all year. I thought Waterloo or Elmira were the best team in the league this year though the points at the end of the year didn't reflect it.

Brantford's JR A game tonight postponed because the OHA won't send them referees.
Are people seeing it now? The OHA is a mess and creating the problem.
