Re: Chatham

There has already been 8-0, 9-0, 9-1, 9-2. Points against Buffalo are not earned unless you call fishing in a barrel is fishing.

Re: Chatham

It's because the Coaches and General Managers can change the score sheet after the game is done but before it becomes official.

It's also not fair that the winner is always from the Golden Horseshoe conference and they can run up the points when they play Buffalo.

Re: Strathroy Rockets

I was at the game vs Chatham on Saturday. As a fan I hated every second that I had to be there. The seating is terrible with only 2 rows on either side. The sound system is worse than a bus terminal. I'm sure there is mold through-out and lets face it, the city is unlikely to put any money in the ar...

Re: Strathroy Rockets

A tough road ahead for the Rockets for sure.

Can anyone shed some light to why they still play in the old barn when they have a beautiful arena in town. Attendance is a key source of revenue for a community owned team and the old barn seems to be only able to handle 250 or so.

Huge gain for Dresden and a huge loss for Chatham. Chatham has been missing consistent goaltending in the early part of the season and has been less than effective scoring goals.

Their previous coach had to go. The team was full of star players and on paper they were the best team in the west. Against the weaker teams they could just roll their lines and everyone was happy. Against a team like London, they needed to do what every team does and that's match lines and play the...

Re: Chatham vs London

Looks like Chatham had more power plays than London. And how can a ref get a spearing penalty wrong? More so, why would a player get involved in something like that with no time on the clock, in a huge game like that. Sorry Brad, I'm not buying it. No discipline, or a coach that can't control his p...

Re: Chatham vs London

I agree with all of the comments about game 2. The reffing was very one sided and they knew it, but by the time they started to call it straight it was to late. The big players for Chatham need to step up in game 3. Where was Beenackers, Yetman, Sarfati, D`Agostino and Thompson? These guys need to s...

Re: Maroons officially add Brendan D'Agostino

I prefer the Vipers approach (good ownership, good off-season scouting, good coaching and create a positive team environment). The Maroon approach is lazy ownership, no off-season scouting, poor coaching, spend a lot of money on players and no money on what the players need and create a terrible tea...

It's a simple fix, as I have said on here before. Make one division of all the top teams, the deep pocket teams. It would probably be the best division of Jr. Hockey in Ontario, and have interest of the scouts for both OHL and NCAA. The other two divisions in the GOJHL can be development of feeder ...

Re: Maroons FIRE Verbeek

Has anyone heard what's happening with the coaching situation in Chatham? I can only assume they are taking their time in finding the right fit because of the Christmas break, but that ends next week and would only make sense that the new coach would want a few practice's before their next game.

Re: Chatham

I fully agree that the defense needs help and I would think they are looking to improve it. To me they Maroons have the best 4 line squad up front in the conference plus the best 1-2 combination in net. They will certainly be a tough team team to deal with when they get 2 more defense.

Re: Chatham

The Chatham Maroons acquired defenceman Cole Dezainde from the Strathroy Rockets and sent forward Brendan Ritchie to the Blenheim Blades / Dresden Kings.

I expect more defenceman to be picked up for Chatham. The defence is the weakest part of the roster at this time.

Re: Chatham

Lots of trouble in Chatham. Most if not all of the players are sick and tired of Verbeek already. He continues to yell and scream at the players to the point of almost abuse. The ownership got what they wanted, a chip off the old block (ie incompetence) Just like they are. The players all want out.
