Re: 2015-2016 Predictions
London should be strong this year, you never know how some of the teams with inexperienced head coaches will do **. St. Thomas and Strathroy are both losing 19 year olds to JrC this year. We already have our first coaching change and we aren't through main camps yet.Port hockey1 wrote:Just guessing here...

Re: 2015-2016 Predictions
I don't know what to expect from London. But they have a great track record, so I might have mixed up my 5th & 6th picks. Should be an interesting season with the changes to player drawing areas too. The teams with solid histories will draw talent.

I think the two logical guesses would be Sarnia or London. But topping Leamington will be no easy task.
Heard some London talk, they might be better than a lot of people expect.

Re: 2015-2016 Predictions
I picked London because of all the change Leamington has. They loss three of there top four scorers from last year( Scott,Quick, and Duarte)
Lost Friesen and whats the word on Henderson is he with the Knights. Scott was OHA Jr B player of the year and that's hard to replace.
And can Barrett carry more of the load or are they going to the rotating goalies thing again.
London biggest lost is Tugwell.
Any of my the top 4 teams could finish higher or lower in the standing it would not surprise me. But I think that's the top four.
Chatham could break into the top four to if they get some defense and goaltending they have lots of offence.

Re: 2015-2016 Predictions
London and Caledonia meeting at this weekend's showcase has the potential to be a great contest that could foreshadow a post-season match-up for the cup if these pre-season predictions amount to anything. For those who put any faith in statistics, and if my math is correct, Caledonia had the league's best pre-season GF average (a whopping 24 over three games) while London had the league's best GA average (a stingy 6 over six games). Should be fun to see what happens when the Corvair's powerful offence runs into London's sturdy back-end.
Re: 2015-2016 Predictions
Some of the team rosters are popping up on Pointstreak. Nice to see some this early. Leamington and Thorold were the first two I noticed.

Gotta be kidding. They have their rookie goalie back from last season, he played a lot better than Shorthouse. In fact, it was said that he's their MVP.The Thorold Blackhawks biggest hole will be replacing goalie Ian Shorthouse...
Fraser Kirk, a former great goalie with the Grimsby Peach Kings(JR.C) will backup Thorold's veteran goalie.

Thanks for the insight Port. You are obviously quite knowledgable about the Golden Horseshoe. Perhaps you would consider being a feature writer for the blog. We could certainly benefit from your insights.

Well thank you. I was just a little surprised to see that comment. I just wanted to make the goal-tending situation known.

Re: 2015-2016 Predictions
Looks like I was wrong about London. I see most of us were wrong about Sarnia so far.

And that's the beauty of making predictions and then seeing how on or off a person was in their choices.Port hockey1 wrote:Looks like I was wrong about London. I see most of us were wrong about Sarnia so far.
Me ... I don't see the other teams enough to make even a guess. I did think that Sarnia would be anywhere from 5th to 7th and considering how much hockey there is still to play, there could be a lot of movement if 1 or more teams gets on a winning streak.

Re: 2015-2016 Predictions
I don't think they're going to change much over the next month. The only question mark is 2nd place. I think it'll be a coin flip between Chatham and London.
I don't really care who we play in the first round. From a financial side, London would be better as there's no bus and no food to order, but Chatham would bring more fans. I've talked to a few fans and they think Chatham will be better to play.

What about the battle for the last playoff spot? That is a tough one to call. Most folks I talk with are pulling for the Lincolns, but that is a super tight race.
