Re: The OHA

'After Darren DeDobbelaer bought the Icehawks in 2017, he requested to move the team to Brantford earlier this year. According to DeDobbelaer, the OHA did not respond to his request so the team went ahead and moved.' https://www.brantfordexpositor.ca/sports/local-sports/junior-a-99ers-revert-to-milt...

scouted, more than the general public would realize!
all the more reason the league's management should support the players and put them in the best position to succeed.

Re: 2018/2019 Schedule

I think its a great way to check out/gauge the new young talent fresh on the seen that (showcase) weekend. See how they react to the Junior B environment pace, plus or minus the few OHL picks/vets that may not be sent down yet. Then they can compare to how the new young talent as developed through ...

Re: 2018/2019 Schedule

Are we not talking the same thing? On GOJHL.ca it shows the 2018 Showcase as being Sept 7-9 in St.Catherines. It’s right on the homepage, along with the Futures and Prospects game on Dec.27 in Waterloo. No schedule but the dates and location have been listed for a while. I see that now. Conversly, ...

Re: 2018/2019 Schedule

I’m pretty sure that the date and location for the Showcase were up on the GOJHL site some time ago. Scouts would have had plenty of time to include it in their plans. I’d think since it was the same time as previous seasons it was already on most scouts radar. I doubt a full season schedule not ye...

Re: 2018/2019 Schedule

It is likely too late to cancel. They will have booked for most of the weekend. The facility is likely not interested in buying back 75 hours of ice without a significant financial penalty this late. I get that, Im moreso saying its going to be a waste given that no one has any idea what the showca...

I don't see why having a schedule released is such a blemish on the league. Teams know when they play, why does it matter so much to people in this forum to know them.
