2017-2018 GOJHL schedule...

Post by Ron »

I see the 2017-2018 schedule is not out yet. Is the League naming a replacement team for Cambridge and is this causing a delay? I also saw that the Thorold club would no longer be called the Black Hawks..do they have a new name yet? If Buffalo is still in I really hope they can ice a competitive team.

Ron I am not sure where you are getting your information from going by thorolds website they are still the Blackhawks. As for buffalo on twitter they have signed very few junior b calibre players,it looks like mostly major midget or lower. Can't see them being competitive.

There were a couple of pieces a short while ago on CHCH saying that the team (Thorold)could no longer be known starting this season as the Black Hawks and the 'inappropriate' logo had been removed. Perhaps this did not happen.

They changed their logo to a less offensive hawk, they aren't changing their name.

The schedules are out, teams are slowly releasing them at their own times

Still find it funny how they had to change their logo. Who was it offending... Not the numerous Native kids who've played there. :wink:

Its actually been kind of embarrassing that the league schedule for 2nd straight year is not out yet. Someone from the league should at least have made a statement by now.

Apparently all the teams have the schedule and it's up to each team to market said schedule. League doesn't seem to have any real centralized anything, and just relies on the separate teams to do their thing...

Sad.

Remind me again what service is it that each player forks over $750 for?

If, as people have said, the clubs have their schedule it's a bit unusual that the master schedule has not yet been imput into the GOJHL website- perhaps it is a manpower problem. If the clubs have their schedules you would think that they would post them on their on their websites or twitter accounts.

The teams all use Pointstreak, so until it's posted there, the teams won't individually release it. They're currently just releasing who they're playing at the Showcase.

There are 2 "fees" for GOJHL players. The OHA will be collecting approximately $396 compliments of this years increase. The GOJHL players each pay an additional $750 to the league itself.

I thought the extra $750 was to pay the new commish. Who in turn was going to market the gojhl. Well worth the extra money dont you think? Lol

Exactly sure every team has a draft of the schedule but its not final until its on pointstreak, teams cannot go around posting it yet.

Ya that is the embarrassing part that it is not finalized yet and were the #10 league. Shouldn't have these issues especially back to back years.

Maybe that's the hold up with the schedule - the league can't figure out how to spell Komoka.

They spend so much time and energy complaining about being Jr A, but for the second year in a row we're a month out with no schedule and no response from the office. Come on guys, get it together.

Hockeydad..I agree with you for the most part.

This league, from an operations standpoint, is not where it should be! Credibility is not a given. It is something that needs to be earned. Ranking ahead of the OJHL as a development league tells me that this league, disregarding the semantics, is at a place where it is recognized as a credible league. Despite what the OHA Junior "A" application fiasco might suggest, this league can continue to flourish despite having a "B" label attached to it.

Rather than focusing on leveling the playing field through a letter, maybe we should start looking at what the current governance does to affect the level playing field and how can that be challenged?

The preseason schedule is up on the GOJHL website but I can't believe it's anywhere near complete.

Big game at day 1 of the Showcase pits the reigning Sutherland Cup champion Elmira Sugar Kings battle the winners of that trophy for the three previous seasons- the Caledonia Corvairs.

What's so embarrassing about a twitter account not having the schedule? The teams have it, why do you need it now? It's August.

While I agree somewhat name another league that doesnt have their schedule released well in advance of the season starting. It just looks really bad on a league that wants to be classified as JR A and is apparently the #10.

I don't see why having a schedule released is such a blemish on the league. Teams know when they play, why does it matter so much to people in this forum to know them. Sounds like people just looking for reasons to complain. We're over a month away from the showcase, and people are upset they don't know every single game for the season.
