Let’s hope the new position does not involve horses.

Hornick charged with trafficking

Jersey retirement? Return to play??

Jersey retirement? Return to play??

Look at the names on the jersey's of the players standing in the photo.

It’s gonna be an alumni “Wall of Fame” announcement...

pretty sure he was relegated to the director of u18 scouting after the lucas rowe draft. simpson has run the draft the last 2/3 years.

Scouting is certainly trending toward the Ottawa area.

Pretty sure he took a job with The Orr Group or Wasserman....not sure what they call the agency now.

The question is did he go there on his own or was he pushed out??

Wasserman, I believe. And, that's a very good question!

 

[Saggy]

He had been there quite a while so maybe it was just a change of scenery for him.....who know.

Just a fun scenario London fans....what would you give up for Nick Robertson IF OHL plays and will raise a cup this season? Has had opportunites for leafs to call him up and hasnt I believe he'll be back to Petes if a season happens

At this point I wouldn't bother making any trades unless it were going to benefit the team at least next season if not longer. I'd sooner sell off all 19 and 20 year olds

Im with Otto the real question is what will the Memorial Cup host team pay for Connor McMichael?

Back from Sweden, London Knights player says it's 'unfair' OHL still idle | Sudbury Star

He is right. The Government of Ontario is super slow on everything covid and the kids that have made commitments to the OHL are paying for it with their careers effected now. This will be a black eye for the OHL recruitment wise for a very long time.

Well it's been a full year since we set foot in Bud Gardens and no return in sight.. ( unless any of you took them up on the zamboni driving lessons )
Hopefully live hockey will be back in some capacity in September.

Great news I wonder if the OHL as a Developmental league will allow a guy like McMichael to remain on his AHL team? After all they are a developmental league with the players best interests in mind right?

I don't see it as a choice. It's in the NHL CBA that he has to be returned.

lol I think we've seen whose best interests are in mind this past year.

So where do people take their jersey's to get customized? I used to go to logo's who did a great job but I don't think they are still around.

Source Teamworks on Wharncliffe....best around in my opinion
