Junior Ontario Hockey

With all due respects..you need to have ball$ to make decisions like the ones you are proposing. This league has been consistent with one thing...making one dumb decision after another. You want the respect from the OJHL..that will never happen! What you need to do is stick it to the man!! I don't k...

They are competing within their own division and will play against the BCHL Divisions Champion for the BCHL Championship.

Great PR move by the BCHL to get these kids back on the ice for meaningful games!

Still curious as to the legal implications of this...they are still members in good standing. Looks like someone circumvented their own Constitution. Are there not penalties for teams who refuse to play? Should there also be rules in place that allow these teams to play? Afterall, their actions in n...

With 5 AJHL based teams leaving the AJ for the BCHL...Hockey Canada's junior A division appears to be coming apart at the seams.

There appears to be life outside of Hockey Canada. Hopefully this league's leadership will finally see this as factual!!

How much do they pay this clown?

I know some junior teams "outsource" to actual companies whose business it is to do this sort of thing! It is costly...but the professionalism is probably worth it if you are trying to build things up. Some of the feeds are pretty terrible. It is definitely not he image one would want to p...

GOJHL....

Teams should....

G - Get

O - Out

J - Jesus

H - H

L - Lord or Lready......take your pick!

No surprise there..

What is that Bob Dylan song? Oh ya...the "Times they are a changin"

This can best be described as follows.... The GOJHL is a hockey version of the Edmund Fitzgerald....and Tim Simmons is Captain Ernest McSorley. One big difference...McSorley knew what the hell he was doing. Simmons is head of a rudderless ship who would be trying to bail all that water out with a ki...

Better yet...why do "The 12" keep putting up with this shiite!! Get out on your own...and at the same time, tell the OJ and the OHA to go fack themselves!! The BCHL has proven that there is life outside of Hockey Canada! Sanctioning is no longer the weapon it used to be nor is it the weapo...

I agree 100%! They have continuously made bad choices in their leadership decisions. Like I said..get out of the GOJHL AND the OHA. There is life outside of Hockey Canada and the BCHL has proven that!! Nothing would be more glorious than standing up at the OHG AGM and saying a good 'ole F**k You to ...

Attendance was never going to be the issue especially when you consider my son's Atom AAA team averages more fans per game than all OJHL teams.....and its better hockey!! The issue is going to be the budget and financials. The travel budget is going to be lofty and the players consistently making 3 ...

I ran into one ECAC D1 HC whom I know. Attendance was terrible!

But as the old saying goes...you get what you pay for! With TS, that is EXACTLY what you paid for!

They have some players on that team....and they lost 4-5 kids to BC!

My almost 20 years of being on this forum and having to prove that I'm not just a puck bunny and I actually know what I'm talking about tells me that it's a real possibility that would come up. I mean no disrespect and please don't take this the wrong way but... There is a huuuuge difference betwee...

That appears to be the epidemic in this country at present!

Really?? You want to bring gender into this? C'mon RG..if there was a place we could stay away from the bs of inclusion blah blah blah I would hope it would be this place!! You want to run the league have at it! I would do it for ZERO if for nothing to get in there and rattle some heads,,,and I have...

You are right about the commissioner being a figurehead. Go back to Mark Tuck, the guy before him and everyone in between...this league is being held up by a BofG who have not a clue what they are doing. They have proven this time and time....and time again. They let Brantford into OJHL within their...

Tim Simmons is exactly what the board wants...did I say EXACTLY!! Someone who is unable/incapable of putting actions in play and will just tow the line. I mean for christ sakes...do these idiots even realize what is going on around them?? Brantford...Leamington and now Niagara Falls. Oh wait..OF COU...

The only thing keeping this league from moving forward is the league itself. Tim Simmons will continue to do just that!

That's like going from one set of misfits to another! LMAO

Probably has something to do with the fact that in their infinite wisdom, the GOJHL BofG's believe that their franchises are worth $400k!

It all comes back to the $400k. No Junior "C" team will come to the table if that is the asking price.

As you stated...don't even know where this league will be in 5 years!

If you had competent leadership in the GOJHL this would not have happened! But hey, this is the same group that allowed Brantford to come into their footprint and lost a potential 4th Division because of ineptness and greed!! Congrats fellas...you have earned this!!

They are an incoherent, incompetent, confused bunch! This all started going downhill with Mark Tuck. You need people in places who will make the tough choices. But then again, those fools who tow the line end up with promotions..lol! Where is Mark Tuck now? Stick a fork in it....this league is done!...

He should be removed from the game...PERIOD!

But why would anyone think the OHF/OHA/GOJHL aka the Island of Misfit Toys would get this right. This league..or the 12-15 teams or so could get out if they really wanted. But I guess they like the never ending punishment!

Please see Milwaukee Admirals

Wow...that's $400 k....if you can find someone to buy it! But hey..it is southern Ontario we are talking about here!

Not likely and if so...L'il Bettman will want his 800k per team. Though I wouldnt be surprised in Leamington got a bit of a break to try and bring others in. GOJHL doesn't need a re-tool....They need a complete overhaul! There are some things in the works...but I can't say anything right now...want ...

How do you know I am a sir?? So much for inclusivity!!!
