Wildcard Team

Looks like Zant won't have much to say now.

Wrong once again, Mikey. I'll always be around posting when I feel like it. Unlike you, I'm a true hockey fan who actually attends the games, not a goofball who comes up with any reason under the sun for not going to games and jumps on the bandwagon of any team that is winning. I'll be going to watch games in Caledonia and Elmira. As for you, well you can stay home and follow it on your computer then post your stupid ramblings on here after the games.

Quick little recap I came up with this morning about the Sutherland Cup seeding and Wild Card determination.

Very well written.

Bitter that your bushleaguers were defeated by the best, for the second straight year?

I've been clear with my favorites. Welland in the Shoe, Chatham in the West. I recently have become a Caledonia fan, after Welland.(that was for the record, twist it into whatever you want)

I have no other teams. I've clearly said I follow Elmira...Look the word up in a dictionary. I'm a real hockey fan, I follow many teams at many levels. I didn't blame the other team when Chatham was caught cheating either...Your team was beat fair and square by a better team, twice. Deal with it.

There's a golf store on Niagara St. in Welland if you need some new gear.

so with this new format the OHA has, this series basically means nothing between the Flyers and Vipers now, might be better off to lose this series since the winner gets Caledonia, is this what the OHA wanted with this stupid format ? it sucks for both the Flyers and Vipers, could be playing until May and not even have a banner to show for it.

Hey, they are still playing for the Bill Weir Cup and the Western conference championship banner....nothing wrong with that. My Auntie Em lives in Kansas...., I mean Leamington so since I have relatives that live there I'm hoping the Flyers end up as champs. As for playing Caledonia, the Bushleaguers are good but way over-rated and can definitely be beaten. If the Flyers can manage to avoid a situation where a bunch of their best players are out with injuries then they have as good a chance as anybody to beat the "so-called best team in Ontario" who are definitely the "luckiest" team in Ontario.Go Flyers Go!!!!

[flyers2011]

oh yeah for sure still playing for the League Banner, I mean the loser could possibly make it to the Sutherland cup finals and lose. That's a long time to be playing an having nothing to show for it. That's all I meant.

Question about the wild card, does the wild card team automatically get the 4th seed ? cause if lasalle won the west, the flyers would still have a better playoff record then lasalle. Just curious how that works.

I still think it's better than the round-robin.

Yes, the wildcard team automatically gets the fourth seed and can't play the winner from the same division in the semi-finals. By the way, If Lasalle won the West they would be 12-5 and they would have a better playoff record than Leamington at 11-6.

Not a big fan of the wildcard system although it seems necessary to balance the divisions. I wish that the old Central Ontario Junior B league would return to create four leagues. It does not look good if the wildcard team ends up winning the whole thing especially if they defeat the team that initially knocked them from contention which would have been the case last season had the Falcons managed to beat Caledonia in the final.

Bushleaguers were beaten by Caledonia...Forget?

BTW: This is just hilarious. You call Caledonia bushleaguers for reporting the Falcons, you then say:

Go Flyers Go!!!!

You do realize, the Flyers reported Chatham for the exact same thing Caledonia reported St.Catharines for, twice...Last season, and again this season.

So aren't they bushleaguers?

Talk about not having all your faculties...

BTW: For the final time, bushleague is cheating, such as trying to play too many imports...Caledonia follows the rules.

But I'm sure Leamington reporting Chatham was different...You know, since it didn't cost your Falcons anything. Talk about delusional.

It happens in the CHL...

Ramble on Mikey......ramble on.

Is there going to be fourth divison set up I heard Colingwood wants a team that would get rid of this wild card situation.

The GOJHL is NOT looking to expand at this time, as per the article from the Stratford Beacon Herald on March 20.

http://www.stratfordbeaconherald.com/20 ... big-change

No expansion plan

The GOJHL is not looking to expand anytime soon, Lott reiterated this week.

In spite of that, a Collingwood group is going to great lengths to get a new franchise in the GOJHL for the fall of 2016.

In a letter to the city’s parks and rec department, Derek Morrison and Wade Kosowan said they’ll pay $50,000 in trust to the town for ice time, agree to pay off debt from a previous ‘outlaw league’ team, the Collingwood Ice, and offer the town and minor hockey group with revenue sharing proposals.

Morrison, a police officer who lives in the Toronto area, would be the team’s head coach and general manager. His son, Ethan, was a defenceman in Brampton and Listowel this year.

The Collingwood Blues lost 4-3 to the St. Marys Lincolns in the 1976 Sutherland Cup final. The franchise operated as a Junior A club in the late 80s through 2011.
