Junior Ontario Hockey

If leamington gets Warren and Chatham gets Patterson I think that puts the Flyers and maroons above the rest at this point. I think Leamington is already there. They have four solid lines and aren't easy to score more than a couple of goals on. I honestly think Leamington will finish first. Without...

Sounds like this kid isn't happy anywhere. He's looking to be on his third team now. Teams will be cautious with him.

Classy. They don't want to be there, do what classy organizations do, trade or release them.

Chatham has a new goalie lined up. The timeline of when they can aquire him is the question. I hope sooner than the latter just for the pure fact of what it will stir up. :D According to my sources, the rumour around Chatham is that the Maroons have signed Jake Patterson, formerly of the London Kni...

A fair question, but why still be competing for the same championship? Just wondering why we'd be playing for the suthie but excluded from the All-Star festivities.

In years past the Shoe has played the West in the All-Star game, back before we became one league.

I see that the All-Star game and Prospects game are the Mid-West vs. the West. I was tipped to this because I saw someone from Caledonia complaining on Twitter about how their kids are working just as hard as ours and it's not fair that they're not part of these games. Well, you want to separate fr...

Everyone wants out of the Falls. A new owner bought the team and all but one veteran left in the off-season. Something fishy there.

After starting the season 13-0 Sarnia lost their first game of the season to Strathroy by a score of 3-2. That game started a cycle of losing. Since winning their first 13 games they're only 3-5. To make matters worse, those 3 wins are against the bottom three teams in the West.(St.Marys, Lambton Sh...

It would be a sad day if St.Marys left. A lot of history with that team.

I'm done with you Jack A$$,, it's been fun but not worth my time to banter with a child.

I guess your memory is fading.

The red hot Strathroy Rockets trailing 3-2 heading into the third period came back with two unanswered goals, including the winner in the last minute of play. With the win the Rockets improve to 8-2 over their last 10 games. Including wins over Leamington & Sarnia. Look out, the Rockets look leg...

By the way, plenty of teams have went from worst to first...Chatham being a fine example. Kids wanting out happens everywhere. Even on winning teams, so...

This needs to stop !. Every year St Marys gets a gun put to their head by 2nd or 3rd year players that want to go play for a winner, every year one or two players want to go home to London. St Marys is very good about offering players in their final year an opportunity to go play for a contender if...

That's been London's MO for how many years now? How many times do they trade away a 16 or 17 year old to St. Marys, St. Thomas, Strathroy, Lambton Shores, and then when that kid gets to be 19 or 20, they all of a sudden ask for a trade back to London. It's like London doesn't want them when they're...

I can see them ending up in London. Does Chatham have any import cards left?

If the West was the best, shouldn't they have won the Sutherland Cup?

I was going to make that comment, that sometimes the refs call the penalties worse than they really are. Safety is obviously the No. 1 concern of, not just the OHA, but everybody, but, in my opinion, sometimes the calls are a little overkill. Now, I wasn't at the game in LaSalle on Wed., but accord...

I've noticed attempt to injure match penalties have been handed out like candy canes lately.

What the h*ll is wrong with some of these kids!!!!

Looks like the Flyers might lose a top forward. Henderson was called up to London and picked up a goal & assist in their 7-2 win over Sudbury today.

I don't know if they plan on sending him back down or not.

I've decided to start posting the standings for each month. It gives everyone a good idea of who's playing their best hockey ext.

1.Leamington: 9-2-0...18 pts 2.Chatham: 8-3-0...16 pts 3.Sarnia: 7-3-0...14 pts 4.London: 6-3-1...13 pts 5.Strathroy: 6-5-0...12 pts 6.LaSalle: 4-6-0...8 pts 7.Lambton Shores: 2-6-2...6 pts 8.St.Thomas: 2-8-1...5 pts 9.St.Marys: 1-10-0...2 pts

http://localsportsreport.com/gojhl/2014/10/31/you-make-the-call-11-check-from-behind-major/ Here's one to check out from the Strathroy at LaSalle match in LaSalle on Wednesday. I saw a hit from behind, but that should've been a 2:00 call based on our currant rules. Still glad to see a 5 called when...

I think it's time to update the call given for checking from behind from a 2:00 penalty to an automatic 5:00 major & a game misconduct. These kids have been taught not to hit the numbers since peewee. It shows a total lack of respect, and it can be deadly. So far there have been 106 games played...

I hate the term outlaw. These kids are not criminals. The word independent Jr A league is far more appropriate Every time I use the word independent people say you mean outlaw. It's almost like people that disagree with going independent thinks using the term "outlaw" makes their argument...

flyers2011 wrote:looks like the flyers made a statement tonight, convincing win in Sarnia, also 3rd straight loss for Sarnia.

Looks like they've started a new streak.

More drama, going outlaw would be the best move as far as I'm concerned.

Nice burn.

Chatham fired 65 shots on goal, wow. Hopefully that's a sign of Chatham breaking out. 5 point night for Verboom. A natural hat-trick for Feasey.

What a game!
