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-sha...

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 and wasn’t...

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 cu...

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 S...

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 oth...

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 Cloth...

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. https:/...

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 Pat Powers, Jeff Bradley, Adam McKee, Colin Martin, David Matsos, Denn...

Well, back in the summer, St. Thomas announced their coaches for this season and Mike was listed as an assistant coach. A few weeks later, London announced him as head coach, and I went back because I thought he was with St. Thomas, and they had updated their post to remove him from the announcemen...

RocketGirl wrote: ↑Tue Dec 19, 2023 8:00 am That sucks for Mike since he just got named to the St Andrews team and the Prospects team.

He shoulda stayed with St Thomas.

I didn't know Mike McIlveen was with St Thomas.

The owners kid isn't on the team so that wasn't the problem...what could it be now?

I see there is more outside the conference games being played this week, not a bad idea...it would be a better idea if the games were more competitive, the Nationals play the 1-27 Caledon team.

Leamington is 3rd in the division playing at a .660 clip, I guess the top GOJHL teams could compete in the OJHL...I'm sure they realize that too.

As far as I can see Tim Simmons main duty is to hand out Clothiers player of the month gift certificates...he's still interim commissioner, are they trying to find a permanent solution or is he really the best they can find? https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=670467455220802&set=a.572732594994...

Big test for Strathroy tomorrow in London, I hope the Rockets have a good game, the league could use a competitive London-Strathroy rivalry.

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...

The first rankings they released was the top 5 teams in the league. Last week's rankings was top 5 powerplays. For whatever reason, they are only being released on social media and not on the actual website. https://www.facebook.com/GOJHLHockey That explains it, I don’t have Facebook…head scratcher...
