Re: Buffalo has FOLDED
About time. Maybe they'll be back next season, perhaps they will even dress 10 skaters & two goalies.
See ya!

Re: Buffalo has FOLDED
Player stats against Buffalo this season should be removed, ASAP.

Re: Buffalo has FOLDED
The sad part about all of this, nobody in the OHA office will be disciplined for the way the whole Buffalo situation was handled. They should have never been let back in. They have made a joke out of the GOJHL and the Niagara Region. I agree that all points against Buffalo (wins and player's points) should taken off the records. The best part of all this, it's nice to see Pelham in last place again!!

Re: Buffalo has FOLDED
That is bad news I wish they would have been better when they returned.
Re: Buffalo has FOLDED
Same I was hoping they would find a way to finish out the season and then get more player commitment next year and come back better but that is out the question now.three dog night wrote:That is bad news I wish they would have been better when they returned.
Re: Buffalo has FOLDED
Please move the team to a Canadian city. Can't be an easy go of icing a team that has to play by different rules to put together a team. It's like inserting a GMHL team into the GO and expecting good results right away... wait... that's probably exactly what it was like.

Re: Buffalo has FOLDED
Look its over and done with. Thank God somebody in Buffalo had the intelligence to realize its time to end this charade. This was something that nobody at the OHA had the brains or courage to do smt101. To the young men who played on the Buffalo team, this is no knock on you. You showed up game after game knowing what the results were going to be . The OHA is totally responsible for putting you in this no win situation.
To the OHA Office. Please tell us more about your Club 90 Objectives and your SOP.

Re: Buffalo has FOLDED
Oha have stern punishment suspensions, fines etc for teams that go off track.c. Oha should take full blame for this and return monies to the league for there loss of income with this mismanagement.
Re: Buffalo has FOLDED
Apparently they haven't officially folded yet

Re: Buffalo has FOLDED
From the article. It's a song, get over it! Oops, did it hit a nerve... This team has made a joke out of the league. American Idiot was putting things mildly.“We were competing very well. All of a sudden, a song came on, it was American Idiot, and our coach raised his hands to the referee like what the hell is that. It was totally embarrassing. After the game, I had parents tell me this was BS. They don’t want us in this league and come time to put players on the ice for Sunday, I couldn’t get anybody.”
Couldn't get any players to come out because they're sick of being embarrassed by Buffalo ownership!
And;
Duh... Time for Buffalo to pack their bags and get out of this league!!! How do you think our teams feel when they are forced to play a house league team!!!Canucks coach/owner Frank Pietrangelo defended the choice of the song.
“It’s a Green Day top 10 song,” Pietrangelo said. “We play it at every single game. Our DJ, who is a high school student, plays whatever will get the fans going. There was no ill will or bad sportsmanship intended.
“We have American players on our hockey team. My three children were all born in the United States, so for that to be used for an excuse as to why he can’t field a hockey team on a nightly basis is ridiculous.”

Re: Buffalo has FOLDED
I'm really not surprised by this. How many times this summer were they out, then back in, then out again?

Re: Buffalo has FOLDED
Heard from a friend Buffalo game back on
Re: Buffalo has FOLDED
I just received confirmation that the game is back on for tonight. The Regals have also signed two players with real Junior Hockey experience (NOJHL & NAHL) and are hoping to ink a 3rd this afternoon with GOJHL experience. I know things have been a joke so far this season, but they are trying to climb themselves out of a hole and hopefully this is the first step. The league did them no favors by holding things up until 3 weeks before the season, and this is what you get. I hope for the sake of everyone involved they can at least make things respectable even if they do not win a game.

Re: Buffalo has FOLDED
Are you kidding me. They've been a train wreck from day one. I know your intentions are good but I say, let them fold and try again when they move from the Buffalo area( Port Colborn) and get committed and legitimate Jr. B players.
Get rid of them now and " Lets Make The Horseshoe Great Again"

Not going to happen in Port Colborne. They already have the Whalers which are a NY team based in PortBeenThereDoneThat wrote:Are you kidding me. They've been a train wreck from day one.

7-0 loss and gave up 62 shots tonight against Ancaster. I guess their missed game in Welland on Sunday night didn't change things. GET THEM OFF THE ICE!!

Re: Buffalo has FOLDED
7-0 is actually a decent score for them. Same as Pelham in previous years. The real test will be an away game. They need to show up with more than 11 skaters. If they can show up with 15-16 it will show atleast a bit of improvement. If they can keep scores to single digits they will still be better then Pelham in previous years

Pelham in their worst year lost by an average of 7.6 to 2.1 so no, it won't be close to better than Pelham. Even in their worst year.
It's a joke, and will only continue to get worse.

Re: Buffalo has FOLDED
Both organizations have Been disasters. Pelham is starting to get a couple Better players. Pelham is atleast getting better with time. That is something that Buffalo is gonna need. 3 weeks isn't enough to build a team. Next year will be the true test. If they can atleast be competitive with the lower teams in the division then people should give them credit. This year is a write off. They did sign a couple new jr a players I think so they are showing that they are trying to get a bit better.

Re: Buffalo has FOLDED
As long as they fill a lineup there's no problems. But filling a lineup for 2-3 games, then having 11 skaters isn't ok. We will have to wait and see if they can keep filling a lineup, if not, get rid of them!

Re: Buffalo has FOLDED
Yea hopefully they can fill a line up. Problem is that you can't just kick them out because they payed the league fee. Not that easy but if they can't fill a line up consistently then they should voluntarily withdraw for the year

This article sums everything up. It's all about the money. The GOJHL will continue to be a joke because of decisions made by the OHA. With the Tier Two Jr. A issue and now this, I would think it's time for them to pull away from the OHA and Hockey Canada. Except for insurance, what do they provide you?? There's other options for insurance out there (which actually provides better coverage with a cheaper price tag!). The ball is in the GOJHL court now. Let's see if they have enough balls to make the move.

Re: Buffalo has FOLDED
Pull away from Hockey Canada? That would be the death knell of the GOJHL's reputation. Becoming an outlaw league does not benefit the GOJHL or its fans. It just reinforces the myth that the GOJHL is a joke.Canuckalhead wrote:https://thejuniorhockeynews.com/the-dea ... k-to-life/

As for the OHA, I believe Hockey Canada or the OHF needs to break up the OHA's jurisdiction. Their jurisdiction is hue (From Kingston to Windsor), and it does not really benefit anyone west of the GTA, hence no Tier 2. Northern and Eastern Ontario has their own jurisdiction, why not Southern Ontario?
