Bandits

Well... a 16:0 loss on Saturday for the Bandits (at home) against Stratford.

I understand that the owner's attention is on his shiny new OHL toy, but meanwhile his GOJHL team is 1-6-1-0 and his official OHL affiliate in the OJHL is 0-6-0-2. Just looks weird, I guess.

Re: London Bounty

I have my popcorn ready to endure this latest junior hockey circus act. Good times. As if the game of hockey isn't in a tough enough spot as it is. Yikes!

From the GOJHL Transaction page, they've acquired 4 and traded away 2 since January 8th.

Re: New Head Coach in London

Just looking for a bit of background here. Why did CM leave Komoka in the first place to go to London? I must've missed that detail. Now this? That's rough.

London is now being run for all the wrong reasons. Yikes.

Honestly, I am not sure you really want anyone affiliated with the league at present. It might be better to have a fresh approach with someone who thinks differently and can manage the different personalities. Relationship building and effective collaboration skills will be key.

Re: Tuck steps down

Toss your name in. Why not? Life’s short. Be bold. I don't want the job. I've heard what league meetings are like, I don't want to deal with that, nor am I the right person. Fair enough, I guess. Are there any candidates from around the league (or beyond) that would be a good fit for the role?

16s vs 99s

I don't know if the GOJHL is going through a similar process, but... I caught wind that PJHL has put out a vote out to its membership (due today at noon) to see if the league will allow 1999-born players to play during the 2021-22 season and disallow 16-year-olds to play during the 2021-22 season.

Wouldn't mind if people would keep things to themselves before blasting out a social media post like that. It raises a lot of questions without many concrete answers. Don't think it's appropriate.

Don't know about shuttering the franchise, but with 3 games remaining in their schedule and essentially no roster, the Yeck might only have 8 teams next season. Not 100% sure though.

Took a look at the PJHL standings today and noticed a few teams who would maybe want to press a restart button on their season. Any insights on: 1. Little Britain: 0-30-1 2. Campbellford: 0-30-0 3. Orillia: 3-31-0 4. Goderich & Hanover: 6-23-3 & 6-24-3 5. Wallaceburg: 3-28-0 6. Lucan: 3-25-2...

Again? As in they have quit before? Hope that’s not the case. The team is 5-12-3-1 and could still turn it around, maybe?

The grass isn’t always greener I guess. Hope it turns around.

A prediction (for fun):

A 3-2-0 record would good. The two losses would be against London.
