I can't get the link to open... But having that many signed already is odd.

I found it on GOJHL Rumours2 twitter. It seems to be a good source for up to date information

Not really - you'd be surprised at how many guys are signed by teams like Kitchener, Waterloo, etc. They get most of their guys on cards the day they come out and just don't announce them all.

What surprised me about Brampton is that 15 of them have no junior experience and were playing Midget last year, with something like 10 of those 15 being from the Brampton 45's Midget team. That's a recipe for a bad year.

I know some of the top teams sign guys early, but an entire roster... :shock:

Yep, that many rookies is indeed a good indication that it will be a long season for them.

A friend of mine is involved with a Midwest team and he's told me they only have 4-5 spots up for grabs come main camp.

But yeah, hopefully Brampton has an ace up their sleeve. Bringing up the midget coach and then allowing him to sign half of his old team is quite risky.

i am not sure what that ace would be. i think i have this right. going by there roster they only lost 2 overagers. they lost 1 to ojhl (toronto jr. canadiens)they dumped all there 20 year olds. including there top 2 scores. long season no doubt about it.
