Re: Buffalo has FOLDED

I just received confirmation that the game is back on for tonight. The Regals have also signed two players with real Junior Hockey experience (NOJHL & NAHL) and are hoping to ink a 3rd this afternoon with GOJHL experience. I know things have been a joke so far this season, but they are trying to...

Re: Buffalo and Imports

So I have been out of town but I made a few calls and here is what I found out. You are correct with the governing body issue, the Regals have two that they need to satisfy. USA hockey only allows 3 Canadian players on their protected roster. So any more than the 3 players can not be protected from ...

Re: Golden Horseshoe lacks offence

I would also like to say that I know for a fact that the uncertainty of the approval played a pivotal role in the results of the team. My son is a Junior aged player and was asked to sign with the Regals along with 5 other players that I coached at 18UAAA two seasons ago. All of them were 96 or 97 b...

Re: Golden Horseshoe lacks offence

I was at the rink last night in Buffalo for my sons practice and talked to the several people well aware of the Regals Jr team situation, I can assure you that they are willing to take players from anywhere that would help the team improve. I think they currently have 4 Canadians on the roster, and ...

Re: Golden Horseshoe lacks offence

You are absolutely right in your assessment of the Regals, things are going to be bad this year. The problem is the league helped put them in this situation with not approving them until 3 weeks before the 1st game. How could anyone possibly put a quality team together from scratch in that short of ...

Re: What a Joke!

Would make sense, I would think that if they had late approval from the league it may have made it difficult to solicit players prior to league approval. May have asked players late and couldn't get commitments for entire weekend. With what they had for the 1st two games and the # of players availab...

Re: What a Joke!

I was there Friday night they looked fine definitely had more than 12 skaters and lost to Ft Erie 4-2 with an empty netter. I heard similar results against Thorold close game think it was a 1 or 2 goal deficit. Not sure what happened against Pelham wasn't at the games, seems odd when they were fine ...

Re: Buffalo Regals

Just saw this on the leagues web site, as a buffalonian I'm interested to see if they can pull this off. The Buffalo Regals are excited to be returning to the GOJHL for the 2016-17 hockey season after a two year hiatus from the league. The Buffalo Regals Junior Hockey team is committed to providing ...
