WWF on Ice

After seeing last night game between St Catherines and the Bees, I'm thinking the league should market itself as WWF on Ice to potentially attract more more fans given that the quality of hockey is definitely not their strength. With all of the clutching and grabbing going on, I was expecting Vince ...

Re: Anybody out there????

Great to see Fort Erie giving Hamilton a run for their money! Caledonia did a good job of getting under the skin of the Falcons which led to them taking bad penalties. There was a lot of bad reffing in there too, especially when things got out of control last Saturday night. Bully is making a fool ...

Anybody out there????

Wow the playoffs are in full swing and no comments ??? How about Fort Erie giving Hamilton a run for their money. Not really a surprise as they have a pretty good team this year. I think that the winner of this series will win it all. What about St Catharines / Caledonia .. talk about a reversal of ...

Re: Vacation Time Again

I'm shocked Bully doesn't get kicked out of more games. In the past though his teams were so dominant, he didn't care as much by the time the third period rolled around. His team mustn't be getting the same amount of cig money anymore.

Did anyone see the final St Kitts goal .. wow

Re: Tuck steps down

Re: KABOOOOOOM!!!!

I was aware of the 150k fee for the GO but I have heard the fee for Tier 2 was much much higher. If so why would they balk at the lower fee. It would seem strange that the owners of Tier 2 would offer something lower to new franchisees as it would de-value the worth of their franchise?

Welland did not go with the Inc so nobody will be paying the unnecessary 750 a player fee.
