Re: Golden Horseshoe Leaving?

The OHA is suppose to fill in the missing blanks as far as leadership goes. Are they just a logo?

Re: Golden Horseshoe Leaving?

I hate the term outlaw. These kids are not criminals. The word independent Jr A league is far more appropriate

thamesford fined

Noticed Thamesford received a $3600 fine plus Webb the longtime manager received a 20 game suspension. Teams almost need Assistant GM's to help avoid these kind of fines, suspensions. Teams do not have that kind of monies to pay these hefty fines especially at the D level.

Re: Dorchester gets home-grown franchise

It is nice to see but the calibre of play will decrease with all the teams (too many)in the area but should make for good rivalries.
