Wow, no replies...

I'm assuming the players are overmatched and I see they have a couple veteran coaches...is the ownership to blame?

Got a simple question.

Why is Sarnia so bad this year? What hapenned?

Maybe today they'll come out with a Western Conference playoff schedule...I don't know what the big deal is that they have to wait until the East is done, it doesn't change the West match ups...the teams know the schedule why not release it?

Strathroy staying is good news for sure, I didn't hear the rumours that they could be leaving.

I'm curious at where they would have moved too?

I just checked out the GOJHL website and I don't see any schedule for playoff games. Am I missing it or they still haven't come out with it yet?

No one that is reading it here knows…it seems like an immature thing to do.

I don’t think you’re cryptic post was very fair to the London Nationals…you should state what your problem is or don’t say anything

I thought people would be all over this celebrating the fact that Duarte is now gone. Shouldn't be a surprise he bought the team so his kid could play and now his kid doesn't play so what does he want the team for? Paul Duarte leaving is a good thing.

I like how competitive the two-conference system is working out, 4/5 contenders on each side…it’s nice to see different teams instead of the same matchups 6 times a year…I see Tim Simmons is still doing his cheesy gift certificate presentation, I guess he is just trying to keep himself relevant..

Sad news...

Did they play? I can't find anything about it, no score, nothing...

I see the London Nationals and St Thomas Stars are playing at Budweiser Gardens tonight.

It's a good idea but it's too bad no one know's about it...no promotion, no marketing, nothing nowhere at all.

You stated that the League continues to make announcements in the re-shaping of the GOJHL. Two minor announcements have been made, Craig replaces Tim as commish (good choice) and the conferences are reduced too 2 from 3. Where are the announcements you say the league continues to make in the re ...

Seems like a good hire, someone with a strong hockey background.

Tim Simmons actually did something good…it looks like the better teams of the mid-west are joining the west making that a tough conference.

Still no round robin schedule out yet? Should have already been out.

The Lincolns did it, Western Conference champions. It's something they were building for since last year...good staff good players.

That must have been some game…Strathroy was leading 4-0 and than 5-2, St Mary’s scores 6 goals in the 3rd period to win 8-5.

I wonder what the letter said?

This is what I've put together, but not sure I'm sold on the top 4 slots yet.

1. St. Marys
2. London
3. Strathroy
4. LaSalle
5. Chatham
6. St. Thomas
7. Komoka
8. Sarnia




I didn't do too bad in my predictions. Both 1 & 2 and 7 & 8 are flipped.


I’m impressed you got Strathroy right ...

There are going to be some bad teams and undeserving ones that make the playoffs.

Those five teams are going to finish the season playing an exhibition schedule in the BC league.

They might want to re-think there everybody makes the playoffs format...6 teams have a winning percentage under .400.

I'm not sure about worse but Komoka is very disappointing.

When they moved from Forest I thought they'd be improving...closer to London which would make them more competitive for recruiting area players and university/college players, nice new clean building to play in, former NHL player as their ...

Collins Clothiers sponsors the monthly awards, so what else do you expect them to give? For many years, Strathroy's Player of the Month award was sponsored by Poag's Jewellers and they received a very fancy watch. I'm sure they didn't need it, and could have used a gift card for London Source for ...

They say at this time of year it’s the season of reflection and when they do their reflection some don’t like what they see…not just the Chatham Maroons but there has been a movement in recent years to interject themselves into someone’s lives when they seem out of sorts…good for the Maroons and ...

There are worse gifts to give… every single player in this league wears suits to games. Seems like a gift card that can be put to use by any of them.


How about a sporting goods store...a restaurant...a shoe store...I could probably come up with about 10-15-20 places they'd shop before Collins ...

I think Tim Simmons is the only commissioner who hands out player of the month awards in any league…I’m sure the players are thrilled to get a gift certificate for a tuxedo shop, like what are they suppose to do with that, maybe wait outside the place and sell it to someone who might use it.

Would be a fun exercise to see how many coaches that have been through there since bounty boy took over. Has to be a good dozen. the ambulance chaser is suspended but you know he’s still pulling on tony the hair dressers strings
