Re: Siskins New Name & Logo

ILuvHockey...first off..volunteering needs to be accepted. Trust me, you would not want me volunteering with this league. Too much would get done! But feel free to PM me...I like to know who I am talking to regarding these matters and vice versa. I mean I have even been called JM on this board..LOL....

Re: Siskins New Name & Logo

And with one swoop of the pen.. A team with a tremendous history and traditión is snuffed out!! Great mové... NOT!!! That is the one thing that this league has, well two things actually..

Re: Ayr Centennials Purchase Kitchener Dutchmen

Sure.. Scale back.. But where is this league going to get the money from? Attendance is not an issue of owners have deep pockets and business es where the losses dont matter anyway. FYI.. Dont take your lead from the OJ.. They are, as someone here once said, a rudderless ship! But then again.. The d...

Re: Ayr Centennials Purchase Kitchener Dutchmen

Curious as to what the purchase price was...my guess nowhere near the $150k the league was dreaming of last year with the Collingwood fiasco!

Re: St.Catharines Falcons puzzling moves

Sometimes there is a lot more to trades than the on-ice competitiveness. Not saying that was the case here but there are lots of variables that go into a trade!

Re: St Marys Fans

Is this DID in fact occur with a threat to a city employee...not only should the league get involved but so should the police! What is the leagues stance on this or do they even have one?

I heard through the rinkvine the following: If a GOJHL team has a player and the OJHL wants said player, the maximum that GOJHL can "request" is $1500 for said player. Now, if an OJHL team has a player who wants/needs to go to Junior "B" for whatever reason, that OJHL team can ch...

Re: GOJHL Board

The floor has been mopped with the GOJHL the past few months! There are more important things than "protecting" the players.

Blow this thing up, and replace the decision-makers within the GOJHL as it appears they continue to make head-scratching decisions!!

Re: New OHA Board Proves to Be a Disaster

The new OHA board failed every team and players!!!! The trading deadline was changed to 7pm across Canada and the OHA board failed to be educated enough to manage the OHA. Over 62 trades are now null and void. This is the biggest disaster in the history of the OHA. This is truly what happens when s...

Re: OHA Changes

I assume Hamilton, Pelham, Fort Erie and Lockport from the GH and probably London from the west based on what has been said. So that should tell you who decided to work with the masses. The more interesting thing is going to be what potentially happens to those 5 as the year progresses.
