Re: GOJHL Issues

I think it would be interesting to see if that did happen! Hockey Canada are not lawmakers despite what some of them have stated in the past. A good lawyer would tear that "suspension" to pieces. And quite frankly, HC doesn't need anymore bad PR! But, hoping that things resolve themselves ...

Re: GOJHL Issues

If the kids are good enough..the OHL will come knocking. HC will have no bearing on that. Sure the hockey purists would like to believe that HC would be able to influence the ownership of OHL teams but I beg to differ. Besides, there have been countless times where HC has taken NCAA players for it's...

Re: GOJHL Issues

For years, the talk about the GMHL was it was a pay to play league and wouldn't survive without sanctioning. It has grown..now the talent is not nearly the same but they have found their niche!! Again, I will ask...what does the OHA, OHF or HC provide to this league? Is there a National Championship...

Re: Guelph relocation to Cambridge

Simple and in a nutshell...because the league has allowed them to do it! The question I have had for the last 18 months is quite frankly..what does the OHA do for the league? Other than sanctioning which is no big deal as there is no Natl Championship and creating division amongst the teams ie the l...

Guelph relocation to Cambridge

Guelph has relocated to the city of Cambridge! There will be junior hockey again in Cambridge!!

Great move by Guelph as they get into a location with a rabid fanbase and they take the onus off the OHA to get a team in Cambridge...something that might never have happened if it was left to the OHA!

To set the record straight the Pelham Panthers have not been apart of the GOJHL Inc since July of 2017. If you left the GOJHL last summer, then why did your team participate in GOJHL events, like the Showcase, Prospects Games and play-offs? https://media1.tenor.com/images/ae912561d8d8b00525024cebb2...

TT, Leagues do govern themselves according to their OWN Constitutions, Rules and Regs, and By-laws. The fact that the OHA has refused to recognize this doesn't mean that this is not the case. In fact, within the writings of the letter you posted it says and I quote "they have made it clear that...

Mr. Toffolo, Whether the GOJHL has or does not have a war chest is irrelevant. If you don't think this happens at other levels, maybe you should contact Alliance or the OMHA who have stockpiled MILLIONS to protect against legal issues arising from past, and sadly future, sexual assaults that have ha...
