Strathroy Rockets

Post by Unhappy fan »

Question for Rocketgirl. Nasty rumour this am that the Rockets have cleaned house i.e. all coaching staff let go. Any truth to this or just trash talk?

I guess it's entirely possible, but I wouldn't think so.

My supposed informant said it was a done deal, much to my surprise. Especially given their awards banquet barely over, and the May try out camp a few weeks away. As you previously stated “silly season has begun.”

I've heard they've reached out to a few coaching prospects but they're not the only team in the market for a new coach

Not sure why anyone would assume the Rockets would be in the market for a change since they are now headed in the right direction. As the article above correctly notes, best season since 2014-15. That didn't happen by accident. Might be that the alliance coach did little more than review the final standings and assume the teams in the lower half needed his help.

If he recalls a meeting it was likely interrupted by his alarm clock going off to tell him it was time to go to work.

Are you sure he said Strathroy? Or maybe he's part of the group of people spreading this lie. Or maybe you are.

All teams in the Horseshoe ( excluding Buffalo ) including Welland charge players. The charge per player ranges from a low of $1500 to as much as $3500.

I'm fairly certain, outside of the OHA and GOJHL fees, Strathroy does not charge the players to play.

Welland does not charge players anything. Only the OHA fee.

Are you saying buffalo does not charge players to pay (I have heard they charge the most) also I am sure the falcons only charge league fees. Not sure about the rest of the horseshoe teams, but I doubt the corvairs charge there players to play.

The Caledonia Bushleaguers don't charge their players to play......they PAY their players to play.

Caledonia is gonna buy their way to losing to The London Nationals in the Suthy this year. No way you beat us with the lack of discipline on your bench, leading the league in PIMS and you lost your coaching staff for 2-3 games to suspension. Meanwhile we have the best PP in the league, sure you're bought team looks great against the scrubs in your division just wait until you run into the big boys.

If London makes it that far. Getting a little ahead of yourself.

And London's built on Caledonia's cuts. Pretty cocky. lol
