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

Caledonia plays a bang and crash style of hockey. They are going to take more penalties because of thieir style. Saying the Falls had 11 power plays and the Corvairs only had 4 does not indicate a bias by the game officials. I attended last night's game and truthfully I didn't even notice who was re...

Re: Limit 20 years old

Isn't it strange that this type of conversation never happens in the OJHL. Ever wonder why they don't, as a rule, load up with 20 year old, ex OHL players. The reason of course is that they truly are a developing league. Saying you are and actually doing it is two completely different things. :smt083

Re: #2 St.Catharines vs #7 Welland playoff thread.

Like I said on previous posts, head games are also part of hockey and it sounds like Evans got into Martin's head and played him like a one string violin. :smt035 Don't blame this one on Ozzie. Evans plays at a much higher skill level then Martin and obviously at a much higher brain level too. :smt056

Re: Welland problems

The reason for the drop off in Welland is all on the shoulders of the organizations top management. The owner is so cheap that it takes four cans of WD 40 to get the squeaks out when he walks. Their coach has turned into a screaming manic that has turned good players off when it comes to playing in ...

Caledonia Fan, kind of sounds like we are on the same page. I don't mind a good scrap in a game as long as things are kept under control and the teams involved respect the game. Caledonia is not the only team that looses control every now and then, there are others that do the same but not as often....

Re: Long suspension for Fort Erie player

The length of the suspensions to both the Fort Erie and St.Catharines players is ridiculous. Yes they deserved some kind of discipline but come on a quarter of the season for their offences is way overboard. In my mind, 4-6 games would have been appropriate. Are the Ontario Liberals now running the ...

Re: Can anyone stop Caledonia in a best of seven series?

OHAHockeyFan. You nailed it. If Caledonia had to operate in the same manner as the other teams do, I don't think their below average attendance (9th worst in the league-230 avg.) would allow them to spend the amount they do to get the players they get. Caledonia is very fortunate to have the financi...

Not often do I agree with what PH states but I do agree with his comments about both Niagara Falls and St.Catharines. The Canucks are doing exactly what their coach said they would do, they just keep getting better. I think the bigger problem in St.Catharines is that the Girhiny influence (Frank and...
