Re: Trouble in Komoka

Not sure who the "twins" are but why leave a problem to manifest! Why wait for the trade deadline? If it is personal, then move them if they do not contribute to the team. Again, why wait for the deadline?

Re: replay

Video replay wouldn't be impossible. I am not sure if they would overturn a game result the day after even if they were able to review and see it was kicked in. All they really have to do is institute a minimum level of video coverage that is acceptable. The quality I've seen out of some teams (SD,...

Re: Cambridge

If Buffalo wanted to fold, there wouldn't be anything the OHA could do about it as they are sanctioned through USA Hockey. The most the OHA could, and probably would do, would be to thwart any future attempts by the Regals to get back in.

Now it is up to the coaching staff to get the boys motivated and put this drubbing behind them. Whether or not it is 10, 14 or 20-0, it is one game out of 50 or so.

I would, unfortunately have to say that it is a no-go.

I would take the year off, if gr...
