Buffalo Regals

Post by BeenThereDoneThat »

Why does the GOJHL and the OHA allow Buffalo to continue to make a farce out of the Jr.B Hockey League.
For their first game of the playoffs in Caledonia last night, they showed up with 12 skaters. We complained
about this in previous years when the OHA had full control of whatever happened in the GOJHL, now that
the GOJHL has full control, they are proving to just as gutless as the OHA was in acting to resolve or better
put, dissolve this franchise.

No wonder only 97 people, (this number includes game officials, food servers and ticket takers) showed up
to witness such goings on.

How can these teams make a go of it financially? Either fold the teams or move them.

Do you mean based on attendance? Brampton, Brantford, Fort Erie, Buffalo and ,guess who, Caledonia, are all at the bottom of list. Obviously, attendance has little to do with survival.

Yes that's true, attendance has little to do with survival. I was going to put up a picture of the arena in Oakville from friday nights playoff game. Roughly 250 on one side and only a few strays on the other. Tier 2 has 14 teams with avg attendance below 200. there are 9 teams from Buffalo to St Catharines, 17 teams from Grimsby-Caledonia to Waterloo-Guelph
