You never really know the accuracy of the article but I'm encouraged to hear that it was a close decision between the Knights and Boston College? Maybe it leaves the door open for him to come to the OHL next season? Historically his role this season in London would have been limited but as a 17 year old maybe the added icetime may sway his decision? I know we are biased but in my opinion there is no better place to prep for the NHL then with the Knights and with the Hunters.
I'm a bit surprised they have our Knights #2 in the country. No doubt our D is as good if not better then any team in the CHL. But in goal we have legitimate questions and up front we are good but I wouldn't say exceptional at this point? I'm thinking they are banking that Mark can and will address any issues as the season progresses? As well if you are looking to build your personal "street cred" picking London it seems is always a safe pick?
CHL Top-10 Rankings - 2023 Preseason Edition - Western Hockey League
Three WHL Clubs are included in the CHL's pre-season Top 10 rankings.chl.ca
They can still declare Moore defective and get the comp pick. That deadline is in January and they'll do their homework on whether he will come eventually by then.
I mean if you’re a football or basketball player at a big time program, yeah you can make good money, but hockey players? Doubt they make much of anything.
Not to the extent of football or basketball athletes but the best hockey players are getting endorsements .
Best in the CHL I know thatI'm a bit surprised they have our Knights #2 in the country. No doubt our D is as good if not better then any team in the CHL.

Limited to the top line lol
In London they make good money here too lol
There have been a lot of terrible pre-season rankings in the past. Doesn’t say much for the folks who rank teams.I'm a bit surprised they have our Knights #2 in the country.

Is a regular Rogers broadcast but they are having problems getting a good connection with the arena in St. Thomas so you get 10 seconds of hockey and 5 minutes of technical difficulties....LOL
This is pretty bad ....
I understand it’s free so I can’t complain, but if the free games are used in a way to obtain new customers for away games, this isn’t going to do it. I know our picture is trash for our home game broadcast, but atleast you can hear the radio commentary even if you can’t make out who is on the ice. I’d expect more from RogersTV.
That's not bad for 3 hrs of Major Junior Hockey entertainment. These on the other side comes here on a 5 hour bus ride, they need feeding & lodging and entertained. $20 ? Pay it, it's a good deal, it also includes all league officials and arena expenses
I'm a firm believer as well that if you are drafted by an NHL team from anywhere else (NCAA, USHL, Europe etc) other then the CHL you are immediately AHL eligible. A CHL drafted player either makes the NHL roster (rare as an 18 yr old) or has to be returned to his Junior Team. I get why the CHL wants there players back but it hurts them especially when recruiting outside of Canada IMHO?
It's not major JrA hockey though. It's an exxy squad with NHL camps starting. No systems, best players out......
, There is a reason. I agree totally I really do BUT my wife and went to see Denzel in Equalizer 3 the other night and after the 2 tickets, 2 drinks, and 1 popcorn 50 bucks was gone! Life is BullShite anymore ......
I hear ya.....
) 2 adults vs 1 plus w kids n future fans of the sport hopefully. But ya I get it.
The window for the comp picks is closed.
Yup ! Experience brings knowledge, but thanks for the ill-informed argument. Moving OnIt's not major JrA hockey though. It's an exxy squad with NHL camps starting. No systems, best players out......
Did Erie stay overnightas you suggest? And if they choose to, its a team building ecpense.....not one ST T n area should pay for. F$#/ it.......let them play someone closer n invite Win, Kit,Gue,OS, Nia, Barrie........whoever. Cut down on costs....but there is a reason they have the set schedule they do........
And those costs ( lodging/feeding ) are actually a team issue issue, not the fans. ( Kids eat at home or on the road and many teams don't stay overnight on a 4/5 hr trip )
The "nuetral" site games shouldn't be about reimbursing travel costs n if it is play one of 10 teams within a 2/3 hr drive. Why Erie
As someone who has handed over cash to refs for games, seen lower level teams books.........ya don't gotta sell out at $20 per head to cover it
It's become a cash grab, plain n simple.
And this is from someone who could care less personally about tic costs......I got a season I've rarely used for ďyears but also went 19 yrs with 2 missed games total ( exxy n playoffs included)
It isn't worth it and it's a cash grab for these games.
Let the kids n families enjoy seeing the unis n B list teams without paying ð triple digits to attend a meaningless game. It'll help all in the long run.
