Junior Ontario Hockey

RG, for those of us who might have missed the radio interview, can you give us a summary?

How does the Golden Horseshoe think they can leave the GOJHL and still compete for the Sutherland Cup? At one point it was the Ontario Junior B championship trophy, but now it's the championship trophy of the GOJHL. "You can't have your cake and eat it too". From the article it seems they ...

Looks like this one is going to die. No one can offer any feedback on the scouts at the showcase?

Seems to me London has to first resolve their ownership issues before they will make any significant changes.

Those are the scouts I saw, I also hope to hear that there were a lot more attending.

It would be nice to see a list of the scouts that signed in but I doubt that will be made public (although I think it should be!).

Does anyone know if there is a public list of the scouts that attended the Showcase over the weekend?

I saw:

NCAA - D1 Canisius, St. Lawrence, Robert Morris
D3 SUNY Morrisville

OJHL - Patriots, Cobourg, Hamilton


Anyone else care to share who they noticed, NCAA or other?

OJHL Transactions page show that he was assigned to Chatham by the Patriots. This usually means they paid the $1,500 to get him so I'm guessing it's a done deal.

Looks like Chatham got their guy. According to Rocket Girl on Twitter Bo Bessette has signed with the team.

Watched him play a few times in the OJHL last season. He's good but I wouldn't be planning the victory parade just yet...

Some OHL camps are starting next week and teams will wait to see who is coming back before any final roster decisions. Being new to the league, I'm surprised by the strong OHL influence and the little emphasis on the NCAA. Seems there are quite a few kids who have lost NCAA eligibility by playing a ...

The best source of information seems to be Twitter, with several reports of signings and a couple of trades.

Training camps have started. Team rosters are starting to come into focus. Let's hear what's happening out there and get some early predictions going!

Thought you might like to know, on the OJHL forum they are saying that the OHF has rejected the GOJHL Jr A classification appeal and the subject is now dead. The GOJHL was denied by the OHA. The OHF then upheld the OHA's decision without even hearing the GOJHL's appeal. The only option left is to ap...
