Re: Affiliation

No affiliation with mooretown at least not anymore. If Cunningham wanted to go to the Flags it would have taken a lot longer than 3 days. He would have missed weeks of games. Hopefully some changes happen in Sarnia in the off season. This used to be a great program. Sarnia hasn't been "a great...

Re: Komoka

Hmmmm. Just so that I am clear..... and I will not go back over his past accomplishments with the other junior teams that he has coached prior to coming to Komoka. Last year Horvat took a team { Komoka } that had 12 wins the year before he started and finished 7th and were swept in the playoffs and ...

Re: Komoka

Ron Horvat is highly respected and capable coach in Jr. B hockey and is far from the problem in Komoka. The problem is and always has been Roop Chanderdat. Move the team from Petrolia to Forest people said and the team will be better, will be able to attract better players and draw more fans. Move t...

I am pretty sure that all OHA teams must have their final roster set by Jan 10.
I find it rediculous that a Jr. C team can have 4, 22 year old players on a roster

Re: Waterloo, London Suthy Finals

I did not get to the game yesterday but took a look at the gamesheet. I see that Waterloo was given a powerplay in the last minute which they used to tie the game and send it to overtime. London had taken the lead a short time earlier on a powerplay goal of their own and the Sisken goal would appea...

There's 15 teams, so it's 8 in the West and 7 in the East. I'm not sure moving St Marys makes a difference. LaSalle wouldn't need to go there anymore, but St Catharines would, and it's almost the same. It would make a huge difference to St. Marys,,,, drive 2-3 times to St.Catherines (approx 187 km ...

Then it would only make sense to move St Marys to the East and save on travel for them and teams having to go there from the Windsor - Chatham area.

If they could land 3 or 4 decent players in the next couple weeks they will be fine and challenge for the junior B- title versus St.Marys and Strathroy. The twins q...

And in about 2 years time, the first team decides they want that player back because he's older now, and they prefer older players, and he's been developed.

Totally different than a player like Brandon Glover. Last year Glover was deemed expendable or not good enough to play for the Nationals. After 9 games with the Nats in the 15 - 16 season he had 1g 1a 2pts in 9 games. Now I am speculating but I would guess he was likely told that he was going to be ...

Yes the selling of players is a problem but in most cases its the players that initiate it.
