Re: Charity Exhibition Game

That would be interesting growing up in St.Kitts I remember exhibition games between the Black Hawks and Falcons for charity back in the early 1970's Back in those days, the Falcons were somewhat of a farm team for the Hawks . Many of the Hawks came up from the Falcons ( Pay, Scott, Craig). The gam...

Charity Exhibition Game

I think that once the season ends the Caledonia Corvairs should challenge the Trenton Golden Hawks to an exhibition game with all proceeds going to various charities. This would gauge just how good this Corvair team is and put an end to a lot of trash talk on this board. I remember this same situati...

Re: Caledonia(1) vs Waterloo(4), Sutherland Cup Semifinals Playoff Thread, & Predictions

I think their gonna need more than just motivation. Cali is a whole different beast than Kitchener. If people they think Stratford is physical than they better keep their heads up or their gonna drop like flys.

Re: Caledonia(1) vs Waterloo(4), Sutherland Cup Semifinals Playoff Thread, & Predictions

Caledonia in 4....scoring 35-40 goals I love playing the goal guessing game... I'll say they score 25. :) The first game should be the lowest scoring as each team needs time for the feeling-out process. Once the Corvairs figure out the Siskins game plan I think the scores should elevate from there....

Big difference in the rinks. It is a noisy nut house in Stratford and a morgue in London. Have to keep your head screwed on tight in Stratford and try not to fall asleep in London.

Pointstreak

I was looking at the gamesheet of Alliston and Port Hope last night and it looked like there were only 2 shots on goal in the second perod and then an onslaught in the third. Must be a typo. Nah....not on Pointstreak.

Re: Last Team Standing

Grimsby always has a good team. They have not been able to reach the plateau of those powerhouse teams of 2003 and 2004 in recent years though. Even their victory over Alliston a few years back was more a result of solid goaltending (Brad Pope) than anything else.

Re: Caledonia(1) vs Niagara Falls(4), 2nd Round Playoff Thread

13-2 at home in an elimination game for the Canucks! So much for the rest of the teams other than Pelham being competitive against the Corvairs. Non the less I guess that they must learn how to lose gracefully. Perhaps Caledonia are the ones that should go to the OPHL instead.
