Buffalo Regals

Why does the GOJHL and the OHA allow Buffalo to continue to make a farce out of the Jr.B Hockey League. For their first game of the playoffs in Caledonia last night, they showed up with 12 skaters. We complained about this in previous years when the OHA had full control of whatever happened in the G...

Looks like the Meteors got better players from the Falcons then the Canucks did.

Re: Caledonia Coaches

Calls don't go their way and the coaching staff think it is their profound duty to attack the game officials for penalizing the cheap shots the Caledonia players have become famous for.

On Ice Officials

Message to Bob Morley, Just because a person once played in the GOJHL doesn't mean he knows how to officiate a junior game. Last night in St.Catharines is a perfect example on how under qualified these people can be. At least 2 of the game officials have played in the GOJHL, neither were much of a p...

Problems in Paradise

Was at the Welland/Pelham game tonight and got into a conversation with some fathers of Pelham players. According to them, many players have asked to be traded and as we know some have already have been. Ownership and head coach were the main topics of the conversation.

Time will tell.

They would pay the Jr.B club $1500 for each of the 3 players taken. Open negotiations would take place for any further player movement from said team. There was als...

Re: GOJHL Board

You are dead right. Instead of pursuing teams to create a badly needed 4th conference, the decision to chase after the Collingwood location was a selfish decision by the GOJHL Board in hopes of establishing a ridiculous cost for a Jr.B franchise. Team owners, led by a poorly advised board had many o...

I was at all 6 games in that series and the Siskins did most certainly take their foot of the pedal. A good example was their lack of disciple in game 5. This team has mostly played a disciplined brand of hockey this year and they returned to that style in their last two games. The goaltending situa...

Well game 1 went pretty much as I expected. London got thrashed by a much faster and well balanced Waterloo squad. Hope the next three games have similar results but I doubt that they will. Waterloo has not been the most consistent team during this play off run, example up 3-0 against the Falls in t...
