Junior Ontario Hockey

Reinhart is the king of pushing the net off

Kitchener usually plays at Kinsmen in round 1 and then switches to the Aud for round 2 and it seems to be where they always go down. The 2nd Round Aud curse....

Yes he is. It was Mitchell Datz. And he got hit twice in yesterday's game. First time was in the 1st and I don't think there was a call on it, but I could be wrong about that. First hit was Subban, who took a couple strides despite puck being nowhere close. They called goalie interference, but he s...

Good for Frank! I hope Niagara Falls is accepted by the OJHL. I'd love to have a reason to support that league! If they get in, a lot of players will bail on Golden Horseshoe teams for Niagara Falls, that's a given. Same with Brantford, if they get in younger players will leave Mid-West and even We...

I'm still shocked Caledonia wasn't in on this - one of the big deterrents for some Jr. B teams was obviously increased budgets, but Caledonia (once it three-peats) would be in a perfect spot to make the jump. Same with Cambridge, they've been at the forefront of every single push for the league to b...

Waterloo loses it's best defenseman, Lane, for 2 games to suspension and their best forward, Schnarr, only played 2 or 3 shifts in the third from my eyes, after limping off the ice at end of 2nd. Might be huge for this series right there.

I heard the idea was to add franchises - Woodstock in the Midwest? Maybe Ayr? - from Junior C to fill in the holes.

Bingo. ILuvHackey nailed it. I hope the league is listening to this kind of logic when the try to sort out the 20yrold rules tomorrow. Cap the number of CHL vets who can play, especially the 20yrold variety, or ban them all together. Kyle Brothers is one example of 20 year olds still developing. I ...

It was a big explosive firing from what I remember.

With the NHL talking about waiting to draft kids when they're 19, I see no reason why a lot of these 20 year olds aren't still developing. I think this league is playing too many(head) games. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Just my opinion. :) And no doubt they can build great team's with younger ...

In his defense, what they did for Sorrentino last year was huge for him.

However, any time I get a chance to talk to coaches or GMs in the Midwest they all say the same thing about Pelham and Tim: "what a joke."

It does not matter to Caledonia what rule changes they do. With one of the best ownership, GM and coaching staffs in the league. They will still have one of the better or best teams in the league next year. This effects a lot of teams not just Caledonia.They better be careful here on what they deci...

So are u suggesting that the 20 year olds now go to jr c teams. Taking another league away from me c players. Their so too many reprecastions of limiting it. These players need a place to play aswell. I get it should be a development league but by having a lot of 20 year olds in the league it makes...

couldn't their be another part to the rule something like the jr.c's overage rule. If a player who is 19 was with your team in December then they would be eligible to return for their 20 year old season. Therefore they don't count towards the 3 or 4 that you are allowed to have for the first season...

Will both team's lose the player who was assessed the major to suspension? It would be a big blow to both teams, but more so to Waterloo. Huh? Connor Cole - their captain and 85 pt guy who does all the hard work that's allowed Kawalec to be so deadly is a far bigger loss than Gary Mantz who is a ve...

Quite a few to jr a and b across a few leagues as well as a couple of verbals to OhL camps as a free agent. Needs a good year of junior before he can seriously challenge for an OHL spot. Well it is a good league. Not that far off of the OJHL. What teams in Jr. B? That will play a big role in whethe...

If any of the gutless wonders on this forum knew the real story they would know that I proposed a limit of 3 or 4 20year olds starting next year (per team) I also had a lot of other great ideas for league parity that were not listened too. I've been told this by a few people in various rinks around...

Most teams in Jr. B will only billet if the kid could play in the Top 9 Fwd or Top 4 D.

Has he gotten any Jr. B camp invites?

What Stewart had to say about OHL-experience being the big issue is the big thing I think we'll see limited, not so much how many 20 year olds or anything like that.

Waterloo in 6

If they can shut down Huber they should be able to shut down Kawalec

Stratford(2) vs Elmira(5)

Elmira in 5

Kitchener has Lane and Willms coming behind Kawalec/Cole. Listowel had Anderson/Huber. I think there is a difference personally.

Kitchener in 7
Stratford in 4

Player positions not right.

I don't think he follows the Midwest well

I'm not taking much serious from a guy who's name is "fussypucker." What are you, 15?

I have issue with any team that does this. If you feel the need to go after me for what I said, then say it in the thread rather than start a new one. It's weak. The system IS flawed. The fact that Jr. A can have more 16 year olds than B and C makes no sense to me. More young players should be playi...

An even better way would be for our Canadian universities to offer full-ride sports scholarships to our kids and keep them home but this would never happen as they could not compete with the U.S. financially. Could you imagine a 15 or 16 year old blue chip prospect receiving an offer from Alberta G...

Ever looked at the records of the top OJHL teams? If Caledonia causes a stir, what would GOJHL fans say about Trenton, Aurora, Wellington, Buffalo, etc? They've all made habits of having teams that rarely lose a regular season game... :smt002 I don't have an issue with large winning ratios -- I hav...

What did people expect when they sold off Vietri to Kitchener and Goodman/Pullicino to Waterloo?

They were sellers.

From what I understand, it is a first come first served for those who got invited - via some sort of code at registration.

As I've said before, Caledonia is winning within the rules. However, IMO, the rules should change. Look at the BCHL. Basically, it's the shining light of Canadian junior hockey that isn't major junior. The best place for prospective NCAA Canadians to play. Who would be the perennial team out there? ...

Will Rawski made 51 saves that game. He's pretty good in my opinion and when I saw the scores from the first 2 games, I know he would be able to get them a win (despite not playing Game 1) In my opinion, Rawski is why Brantford made the playoffs. Period. Every time I saw them play Loo or the Bridge...
