Caledonia and St CATHARINES OFF SEASON

[Caledonia Fan]

Looks like another year of the St Catharines, Caledonia rivalry.
Caledonia pick up Guy and Christian Polillio from Brantford 99ers
But St Catharines went out and pick up Lucas Smilsky and John Dilorenzo from Orangeville.
A great move by the Falcons. There so much better with these two guys. Smilsky should be a force in the GOJHL.

Nice moves, but Dilorenzo is overrated. There's a reason why he's coming back to Jr.B. Just my opinion.

The other kid... Isn't that what everyone was angry at Caledonia for this past season??? For loading up on players that should've been playing in the OJHL?!

Funny how fast everyone wants to move forward.

Not to get into a big argument, but Caledonia had more to do with how many. If St. Catharine's goes overboard, I certainly hope that the other teams say something just like they did with Caledonia. There shouldn't be a target on one team. Everyone needs to fall in line.

I'm sure we'll see OJHL guys (whether 98, 97 or 96s) move to some GOJHL teams. 1-3 is no big issue - it's usually to do with a kid moving to go to school in a local area - London, Waterloo, Niagara area, etc.

Regarding the Polilo bros... curious if there dad is joining the Corvair organization?

St. Catharine's signs five from their prospect camp - 1 98, 3 99s and 1 00.

Agree with you 100%

Tyler Hildebrandt signs with Oakville Blades.
Another GOJHL vet signs with a OJHL team

That's going to hurt the Falcons. I don't think he was happy with the coaching staff. That, and I've been told he was unimpressed with several teammates efforts last season. Guess he decided it was best to move on...

Regarding the Polillo bros this is interesting because Hagersville Hawks are looking for a head coach. Could one of Caledonia asst. go to Hagersville to be head coach. And Polillo dad join the Caledonia organization. I don't see this happening but you never know.

X Caledonia player Nathan Gomes has left Burlington Cougars to play for the London Nationals.
Good player lots of speed and on that big ice a good pick up. Always has a smile.

He'll be a top 4 scorer for them next season at the least.

You are correct.. the issue was not with having over-agers but how many... Caledonia just took it to the extreme. If St Catharines had tried the same route under the old rules then they deserved the same scorn heaped on Caledonia but there is no way St Catharines had the resources to do that.

Caledonia has traded Jake Brown to Elmira.

He asked to be traded

Makes sense, nothing left to win... Probably moving out that way, so why not play for the local team & shoot for another ring.

Best of luck Jake!
