Re: players paying to play

The OHA already charges each player $300 to play each season. And everyone has to pay it. And I understand that there are regulations in place that the teams can't just pay it for them, the player is responsible to pay the OHA the $300.00

When they took that year off to re-group and try to get their finances in order, is that when the Arsenault group came in?

I don't know much about the situation, but from what I read, the President of the Greys organization is trying to move the team. He's not the out-right owner of the team, it's non-profit and owned by the City of Owen Sound, but he's apparently had meetings with Brent Ladds about it. From what I rea...

Speaking of rankings, why are they not doing them this year? Or at least haven't thus far. They have been found. Someone from the GHL found where they're being done. It's not through the OHA or GOJHL. I think it's somebody independently. http://myhockeyrankings.com/view_2009_rank.php?a=2&v=1825

Re: eagles keep winning

Speaking of rankings, why are they not doing them this year? Or at least haven't thus far. Every team has between 12 and 18 games played, therefore they should have enough information to compile the rankings based on the last 10 games for each team.
