$23 adult walk up tix in Owen Sound.
Pre season was $10 adults, $5 kids

That's much more reasonable!

Doesn't help when they are charging $30 for general admission to a junior hockey game, just pathetic I could go to an NHL game in Florida for that price. The colts are one of the few teams in the league that don't have a ticket/food combo deal at games.....perhaps to why their overall attendance has been so low for the last year and a bit.

It's quite a bit cheaper if you go to the arena for tickets. $23.50 at the BMC I believe. But I fully agree. More needs to be done with deals/flex packs.

Looking like Zach Magwood is officially set to join the Milwaukee Admirals of the AHL. On his elite prospects profile it shows he is now with the team.........

INSIDER REPORT: Kyle Heitzner had on his social media last night on snapchat "my face when I found out I was staying the O, excited to be apart of the Mississauga Steelheads. As knowing Kyle from high school looks like nothing has been announced to the public but the trade has been made.

 

[JetsColts13]

Not too surprised to see Heitzner dealt. Rookies offered more with more upside. Sounds like a good kid and was well liked by his teammates. Wish him luck in missy.

Knew this deal was coming....... I stated it before people even knew lol

Wish Kyle the best of luck in Missy. Enjoyed watching him play for the Colts and not really a fan of the trade. Really liked watching Kyle play especially in last years playoffs against Kingston before he got hurt and thought he was a good character guy. While many disappeared as the series wore on against a bigger-physical Kingston team I thought Kyle was one of the bright spots until he got hurt. Look forward to seeing him play in a couple weeks at the Molson Centre.

Much agreed! He was one of the only players on the colts that wasn't afraid to drop the mits.

 

[haymaker22]

Really starting to become a fan of Piercy. Wasn't too big on him in preseason but lately I've started to really notice his ability to force guy to turn pucks over with his very active stick. I really like the way he played in the game against the Bulldogs. Any one else thoguhts?

What are the wolves expecting out of the Colts this evening?

What are the wolves expecting out of the Colts this evening?

Gonna expect a very fast pace, rough game tonight. Hoping to see a good game, and of course everyone has their eyes open for first overall pick Quinton Byfield.

What are the wolves expecting out of the Colts this evening?

A team with one of the top bluelines in the league, solid goaltending and a hard working gritty group up front with some good skill. Should be a physical and chippy game. They'll want to bounce back a little after the loss to Hamilton. Should be a full lineup with the exception of Magwood as he's still at AHL camp. Zhukov got both starts last week. Might see Edmonds tonight.

Hey folks , how poorly did the wolves play tonight? Congrats on the win.

Wolves did not look like mid-season form last night. Jake McGrath was pulled, backup goalie comes in and lets two goals on first two shots, than McGrath went back in. Awful effort from the wolves, as the colts went full firepower on them.

 

[haymaker22]

I don't know about you guys but is it just me or does Connor LePage look out of place out there? Doesn't seem to do well with the pace of the game.

It might take a little while. Skill is there. Definitely needs that adjustment period most rookies need.

Yeah Thursday night was truly awful lol. I'm positive you'll get that good game you were expecting before when we play here tomorrow. UPL is back and the whole team outplayed and got the deserved 5-2 win vs Oshawa last night.

What is in store for Sudbury this year? Rebuilding, contenders, 50-50 team???

It likely isn’t their year to go all out or anything but I think we will see a return to respectability as they build towards becoming a top team.

Still some question marks regarding our second import slot with Lipanov in Tampa’s system and Malik our second year import injured. The team should be mid pack hopefully and with a move or two maybe higher.

Best of luck! Byfield is looking like he is gonna be in a elite player in this league and is gonna be in the NHL in no time. Him and Levin looked really well together the other night. Is this gonna be Macauley Carson's breakout year?? Could get some minutes on top line with Byfield and Levin?

I have Carson getting the C.. and 40+ goals, but I’ve also been saying he’ll break out since his draft year lol. I think Macauley looks like a new player though this year, as he is noticeably faster which was his biggest downfall. The shot and grit are there for sure. Should be a good game tomorrow.

 

[haymaker22]

Does anyone know if todays game will be on TV? For Barrie viewers.

 

[JetsColts13]

Appears it's not televised. Really wish Sudbury would televise every game.

Top line continuing to stay hot is nice to see. Zuke with another one for 10 points in 3 games and a period.

 

[haymaker22]

Tough lose for the Colts tonight as the Wolves make a strong comeback to win it 3-2 in OT. Colts next game is this Thursday at the BMC against Kyle Heitzner and the Mississauga Steelheads!
