Junior Ontario Hockey

Yep, the winter classic that I always enjoy begins tomorrow afternoon - at least here in Ontario. I'll be glued to TSN a lot over the next few days, following the Canadians as they try to return the favour to the American team. They won it last year here on Canadian soil, would be sweet if team Cana...

Came across this story and find it rather annoying that this type if stuff goes on at such low levels of hockey

Yep, he did. Sarnia kid who played for Petrolia for the Western championship back in the early 2000s.

WTG Tom.

After a long battle with cancer, it is with sadness that I wish to announce the passing of Pat Burns - a coach who I actually enjoyed watching.
My sympathies are with his family and friends at this time.

RIP Pat.

Well the wise person I heard said this way ...

Never argue with an idiot. They bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

OK, back to your argument.

feb 27th at 730pm in ohsweken at the gaylord powless arena on 4th line tickets are 5 dollars for adult this game will sell out there will no pointstreak for this game You mean there won't be any PS run during the game, right? Cause I'm pretty sure all games have to be entered into PS for all the da...

It is great to see the performance of our Canadians! 4 medals yesterday, at least 1 tonight, we are actually tied for the lead in Gold Medals! Great to see the success of our team. Gold medal game in Women's hockey tonight, Semi's in Men's tomorrow, playoffs in Jr B on Saturday, Men's Finals on Sun...

don't forget the troubles the "Olympia" Ice machines had on the speed skating ice... Turns out Zamboni had to come in a rescue that portion. Yeah, I kind of forgot about that which is strange because on another board I frequent, the point was very clearly made that they weren't zambonis (...

Well, we may not be "Owning the Podium" but the gold medal haul is looking pretty good. What I don't understand is that the standings are now based on total medals won when it used to be based on total gold medals won and before that they used a point system where they gave points down to ...

Medal #4 was almost gold. After leading for most of the race, our snowboarder was a bit slow going over a bump and got passed near the end by an American. Considering our silver medal winner was a dark horse to win anything at all, congrats to him and the other 3 Canadian men boards. Women snowboard...

Canada finally gets gold on home soil in Moguls!!! Yipee!!! I jumped and yelled and yelled some more.
Anyone else see the gold medal run?

Discussion about those days and events in Vancouver.

During the Canada/US game, I actually had to leave the room for a while I was so underwhelmed by the play of the Canadian team. They did look better during their game against the Swiss but now with one of their top "D" out ... it's going to be difficult. The US are a good and fast team. If...

Is no one other than I watching these games? If so, that's a pity. The game between Canada and the US last evening was an interesting one to watch. The Americans pretty much dominated the game for the first 40 minutes, then on came the Canadian squad I'm accustomed to seeing play. Still not a fan of...

Yep, it's that time of the year when hockey fans get to watch some of the best junior hockey teams from a multitude of countries. I've been reading some of the comments on TSN after the game write-ups. Guess I'm "seeing" some trash talking and it's almost funny. Think the game of Canada vs...

Just wanting to wish all the poster and lurkers in our happy forum a very
Merry Christmas
and a
Happy New Year.

Here's to good health not only for ourselves, but for the players on the teams for which we root.

Also noticed that they use wins-losses-ties while our league uses wins-losses-ot losses-so losses
I can't quite figure out how they arrive at their numbers either. Would be helpful if they explained it.

A 13-year old Sarnian will be a torchbearer for the Olympic torch when it makes it's way through our province. The young man - Tyler Vynckier - will be wearing a ring attached to a chain around his neck as a reminder of who he will be running for when he gets handed the torch on Dec 23 ... his step-...

It would seem that it's not only NHL teams that are getting H1N1 shots out of turn but some Jr A teams as well. I was told there was an article in the LFP earlier this week that London Knights players got their shot and in today's Sarnia Observer, a front page headline reads Sting stung The gist of ...

lol, I guess there are cases of it! I just don't see someone specifically buying a team just to let their son play. The owners may use it to their advantage to give their son more icetime, but I don't think they purchased the team for that reason. I know of at least two Sarnia owners who purchased ...

I was just looking at the transactions on Pointstreak and noticed this Guelph 11/02/09 Clarke, Adam () relieved of duties Who was this guy and why was he 'relieved of his duties'? I've noticed "relieved of duties" shows up any time a staff/coach is no longer with the team. I'm guessing it...

The "first week" of rankings last year came out Oct 13th. Perhaps no one wanted to step up and do the stats for it again this year?

I can confirm that TMG had his name years before those fans showed up. Those particular set of fans only showed up last season and haven't been seen since (I believe I heard they are now gracing another team with their presence this season). However, MG has been a member of this forum since 2005 and...

Bottom two who had to "fight" it out tonight and perform again were Marie France Dubreil and Stephan Richer vs. Kristina Lenko and Bob Probert. Leaving by a score of 16.3 to 16.6 were .... Lenko and Probert. I would think next week the hockey players might pick up more "skating" ...

For those who want to see some hockey players on ice but not playing hockey, here's your chance to see them do something different. They are participating in a competition that raises funds for charity, pairing up with good looking women athletes in a sport that has won more medals for Canada in win...

That's just running up the score even if BR is playing well.

I read somewhere (newspaper, I think) that some people weren't too happy with them and that there was ... shall we say ... too much "native" influence" on the sweater. From a distance and looking at the photos, I don't see what the fuss is - JMO of course.

Notice how when it's an American team that wants to be bought and brought to Canada he puts the kibosch on that pretty quick, but when it's a Canadian team being bought and moved to America, he has no qualms about it. Yeah, I remember he was pretty quick at removing some Canadian teams in other yea...

nhl needs to get rid of bettman plain and simple.even tho that wont happen due to all those american owners in his back pocket, that would never let him be replaced he cant admit to failing in certain non-hockey markets,and yet this bafoon wants to expand the league to 32 teams any ideas on how to ...
