Re: Lambton Shore Predators to Komoka?
What does OHL affiliation have to do with the Predators moving to Komoka? But since that's what you guys are talking about, riddle me this.... Is it a benefit or a hindrance to have an affiliation agreement with an OHL club? Well gosh darnet, its amazing what one can find out by doing a little rese...

Re: Lambton Shore Predators to Komoka?
Senior AA final between Clinton Radars and Petrolia Squires this past year were drawing 1700 - 2200 fans per game, :wink: not many Jr. B teams draw that and the year Komoka was in the final they drew less than 100.

Re: Lambton Shore Predators to Komoka?
Blah blah blah. your connections are a stretch at best. Under your theory the Lambton shore predators should have gotten all the Knights because they were coached by Brian Dobbin who was from Petrolia and was friends and team mates of the Hunters growing up. Brian Dobbin's sister Barb Clarke is Rand...

Of the three Lincolns players you mention that have London Knight connections only one would be considered a "top prospect" Bill Moskal drafted in the second round of the 2016 priority draft and surely the Knights would have approached likely several teams asking them if they had an intere...

Re: Lambton Shore Predators to Komoka?
If this is true than it is a huge mistake in my opinion. The Komoka Classic's won the Senior AA championship 4 years ago playing out of the Komoka arena on Saturday night's and they only drew approximately 40-50 fans per game, in games that featured many ex Jr. B. and Jr.A and NCAA and pro players o...

Fans at the Chatham/Strathroy game at the WMMC Saturday night were treated to a lacrosse-style goal by Maroon Bryce Yetman. It was amazing to see. I've seen them on TV/video before but never live. He scooped the puck up at the side on the goal and deposited it in the top corner OVER the crossbar. A...

Re: What Should the GOJHL Do?
A good read. Personally I think the league ( and I know they have tried ) should drop the " B " moniker, yes it is only a letter but all through life people are told A's are better than B's which are better than C's, etc, etc, it starts in school and is even on your damn drivers licence, a...

Re: Owners need to come up with a plan
As I have said many many times before the problem is teams in the GOJHL have no leverage when a player no longer wants to play for them. Lets talk St Marys, Lambton Shores and Strathroy in the west. These three teams start off at a disadvantage because they are all small centers compared to the othe...

Re: "Weir-y" of Change
The only way I see this type of format flying is if the GOJHL moved to a primarily weekend league. Listowel and Stratford aren't likely going to be big fans of the 4+ hr bus rides to LaSalle and Leamington for mid week games. A recruiting advantage the Midwest has now for student athletes is that mo...

Re: Strathroy Troubles
It was my thought (when I heard that Brendan Riggin was named head coach) that the Riggin family (uncle Pat, father Larry) had invested money in the team. The manager may have his hands tied in trying to replace him.

Re: Possible changes to import rules, possible new team
It will be interesting to see how many players jump ship to the GMHL jr "A" league that is putting expansion teams in London, Komoka, and Kingsville for the 2015 - 16 season. Those teams will be based in the GOJHL western conference zone

Coach Piroski on ctv news after game one basically said London was lucky to win the game and he " guaranteed " a different outcome for game two, not sure he meant his team would be shutout but he was right, it was a different outcome.
