Re: St. Marys

The general assumption held by many is that if the West could land another franchise then the Lincs would move to the MidWest to balance out the conferences. Even then that would be a tough decision. St. Marys is an honoured franchise and most West followers would hate to see them leave, including m...

Well what I thought was pretty cool was that #SutherlandCup was trending on twitter. That's impressive to be in the top 10 throughout Canada. It makes you realize how important our league is.

Re: Waterloo, London Suthy Finals

Caledonia needed 7 games to win over St. Catharines too. I think that was the following year and the first 3 in a row for the Corvairs. Not sure though.

Re: Leamington Komoka series

As a hockey fan, I'd love to see the Flyers win tonight so I can see a game seven. There's nothing like a game 7! The Flyers have played quite poorly on the road this season and have had problems holding onto leads in this series. Regardless who wins tonight, the game should be a dandy!

Ryan Gagnier, who was a 20-goal scorer in the regular season, has just 1 goal in 8 playoff games. Others need to pick up the slack or they could be on th...

With about 9 seconds left the Vipers made a long stretch pass from deep in their zone (with their goaltender still in the net) up the sideboards to the Rocket blueline. They pulled the goalie then. After an attempt at a goal the puck went to the opposite side of the rink where Fancy managed to get t...

Re: Leamington to take the Division?

The Flyers have been a strong third period team all season. Need to play a full 60 come playoff time. The Rockets' injured keeper Michelizzi was dressed as back up last night but took zero shots in warmup. Rockets don't play for a week. Maybe he will be ready by next Saturday.

They are a puzzling team. In their second last trip in Strathroy just before Christmas they played great in a 4-1 win. They appeared to come in wth a plan.

For some odd reason the refs have given coaches way too much leeway. It has been getting progressively worse every year.
