Just throwing this out there- Does anyone have a Brockville Braves logo puck they want to sell? Went to a game there last winter and have been to a 5 or so other CCHL barns, but no pucks available in Brockville when I went. I'd be happy to pay via paypal and cover cost of the puck plus shipping. I think they played with blanks this season but hopefully they had logo pucks in the past.

Thanks

NHL Draft

Best of luck to Owen Grant, Brett Murray and Colton Point in this weekend's NHL draft. Hopefully I didn't miss anyone but these seem to be the names I see ranked and tweeted about last season.

Kings Signings

Plk signed some u18 from the U.S though

This Pembroke Lumber Kings news item reports 4 signings by the Kings - Jacob Smith; Caleb Ernst; Jarrod Vroman & Matt Barnaby. The EliteProspects report on M. Barnaby indicates a couple of days ago, he committed to the Quebec Remparts.

The Brockville Braves are starting a sports Co-Op program with the local high school...Looks like another pretty good revenue stream.

Rumour is they also signed james buckley from the marlies I guess that u18 program they have isn't producing quality players

A few other teams are doing the same thing. I don't know how they get away with it. I wonder how many parents are willing to pay the $3000. It also looks like a loophole to recruit players to come play in the U 18 league.

Jacob Smith played for the U18 team... so one.

But the league is still 65% imports so U18 makes little difference other than revenue.

Make a statement like that in September when the season starts NOT in June....you have no clue who any team has signed

Past history doesn't lend to patience or grace.

You're right I don't know who teams have signed, I'm hopeful you will see more local talent in the CCHL as a result of U18

It's all about the money now. And you wonder why attendance is down everywhere in the league...
