A name that will seem dated within the decade. Brought to you by the clowns who thought USports was a good idea?

Maybe I'll call them The Bald. Their logo can be a nerd with a bad hairline.

 

[AUS Fan]

Hey, don't be dissing nerds with bad hairlines.....

 

[Lakeheadfan95]

Its a horrible name

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

Atrocious.

I saw it mentioned on Twitter a couple times…their mascot is going to be a falcon…so why not just call them the Falcons??

 

[Lakeheadfan95]

I could get with the toronto metro falcons anything better than an exclamation mark

 

[northvanman]

Shame about their choice in the new nickname. I think the TMU logo is actually kind of nice

Problem is that it will look very old very fast. Maybe they can call their teams TMU B OLD!

 

[northvanman]

Maybe so, but teams update their logos all the time - other than the Habs, I can't think of an NHL team that hasn't done some fine-tuning or complete re-working of their logo in the last 30 years - maybe the Jets and the Wild (speaking of team nicknames) - and I'm not looking to debate this (because I probably missed a team), just making the point that lots of updating happens to keep logos current. Also, I'm not sure this is the logo going on their uniforms (earlier press release said the teams will continue to wear Rams gear this year until new uniforms are available). Plus, the Rams had one of least creative sports team logos of any university in the country, so the bar is set really low for whatever they come up with.

Lakehead beats manitoba 6-2 great start for a team that has apparently gotten way faster than years past

Not sure if this was covered on another thread, but the OUA has made a significant change to their playoff structure.

This season, only 6 teams per division will make the playoffs. Seeds 1-2 will get a first round bye, while the first round will consist of 3-6 and 4-5 matchups.

Just like the AUS and CW!

Good move by the OUA. Rewards first two place teams and makes the regular season more meaningful

Wow…that’s impressive.

Seems a lot of the NCAA/U Sports games were close this year.

A breakdown of the OUA East this season. Breaking down each OUA East Men’s Hockey team

Says one Western Mustang player was allegedly involved back in 2018

I read that today. Also read of a case in Kelowna back in April involving 4 players. Didn't figure out how it ended. Obviously not everything is Hockey Canada fault.

It's more of a hockey problem as a whole. Hockey Canada is more at fault for using kids hockey registrations to pay off settlements instead of attacking the issue.

I don't think it's the job of HC to fix societal ills. The 2018 "incident" occurred at a HC sponsored event. Countless other "incidents" have happened outside of HC. I don't want this thread to become like a FB thread, but the problem is Much Deeper than just HC and/or hockey. I'll leave it there.....

Early observations for Lakehead they play extremely fast have cut down on the penalties and finally seemed to have found a good goalie in Cicigoi powerplay definitely needs some work but this might be the best Lakehead team in years
