Lay the rumours to rest! Another OHL trade deadline has passed and a few names rumoured to be on the block did not get moved. Dan and Mike survey the league's new landscape and realize someone -- and probably a couple of someones -- are going to be disappointed in the Eastern Conference. Also, with the Brantford Bulldogs being sold, a lot of fans are wondering if the city is about to lose its team. The guys have the answer.

It's been clear for a while that the world has caught up to Canada in the game of hockey, but that still doesn't explain back-to-back big disappointments for Canada at the World Juniors. Dan and Mike analyze the failure and what can be done to correct it. Plus, the OHL trade deadline is just days away. Who's buying and who's selling? And it's the debate that just won't go away.

The OHL's trade deadline is rapidly approaching and some teams have already jumped into the pool head first. With the help of veteran broadcasters Manny Paiva and Mike Poirier, we take a look at which teams are likely to be the most active as the jockeying for position in the second half is officially underway. This week's Wraparound offers a Christmas gift to every team, including one for the London Knights that (almost) everyone is sure to hate. There's also a little hiccup in the OHL's aggressive

We all know coaches are hired to be fired, but what about first place coaches? Yup, them too. Along with assistants while the head coach remains. The guys are a little perplexed, but they've got opinions and they're not afraid to share them. Also, half of Team Canada's final cuts are OHL'ers, Dan and Mike wonder if the league could get younger, and don't miss this week's Wraparound with a look at every OHL team. Finally, Farwell recalls an unforgettable first encounter with the late Jim Waters (and

It's not quite Christmas, but a couple of teams have caught our attention because they're not where we thought they would be. Also, in case you'd forgotten that the OHL was big business, just consider the lengths the league will go to in order to make sure a game gets played. Dan and Mike are talking about the Top Prospects Game and who's missing from Canada's World Junior roster, plus don't forget The Wraparound, which looks at every team in the league. And in a script straight out of Hollywood,

2024/12/03

We're not saying it was the best time for the CHL to have the performance it had at the CHL-USA Prospects Challenge but, well, the timing probably couldn't have been better. It was a dominant Canadian triumph over two games, emboldening the league's reputation as the Number One development league in the world. And at the same time the OHL would probably like to extend its premier brand into more US markets. Funny, that. Dan and Mike talk about the most likely places for the OHL to expand, the

We knew that the OHL would eventually expand, and sooner rather than later. But as soon as next season? That's soon, and maybe even impossible. Farwell and Dan talk about the most likely sites for expansion, how soon it could happen, and why the league is getting so aggressive. Then, with all the player movement between leagues of late, the guys remind us to remember the trickle down effect. We've also got a generational team steamrolling its way through the West, a league that has swung the

The OHL has reached new ground in its attempts to clean up hockey culture and make sure hockey is everyone, but Dan and Mike don't agree whether or not this latest step is a step too far. Meantime, the suddenly struggling Niagara Ice Dogs indicate they'll not only right the ship this year, but they plan to be competitive for years to come. We also dive into the mailbag to read your emails and answer your questions, we talk about the 12th NHL draft pick to join the London Knights roster, we deliver

The long overdue NCAA ruling that allows players to maintain academic eligibility even if they play a single game in the CHL will change the hockey landscape in North America? In how many ways? So many already, and some we probably haven't even figured out yet. Farwell and Dan do a deep dive into the impacts of the rule change with a look at who benefits and who might get hurt.

It appears as though the Sudbury Wolves and Quentin Musty have mended fences, which also now means two NHL first-rounders could be on their way to new OHL teams. Farwell and Dan also look inside some ugly numbers for the Guelph Storm and gaze into a crystal ball that seems increasingly cloudy for the USHL.

If the reports are true (and there's no reason to doubt them), a couple of USHL teams were in pretty serious talks to defect for the Ontario Hockey League. Farwell and Dan have similar ideas as to why the conversations were even entertained, and then they have a debate of their own about Zayne Parekh finishing a hit in the Soo. Plus, a couple of OAs find new homes, what happens when you exceed the fighting threshold as a team, and they guys see if their prospects match the list put out last week by

There are bad starts, and then there's whatever is happening to the Peterborough Petes this season, which is the worst start the team has ever had in its near 70-year history. Dan and Mike discuss the impacts of the moves the Petes made last year and what it will take to turn things around. Plus, another historic sexual assault allegation against a group of OHL players, a new NHL collective bargaining agreement that could see players admitted to the AHL at 19, the overage dilemmas that still exist,

After three straight years of finishing dead last, the Niagara Ice Dogs have come to life. Is it a cautionary tale? Yes, but the St. Catharines canines have us believing and we'll tell you why we like them ... and why we're still worried. Still in the East, Barrie wants to make sure you know they're still in the mix as they deal for a 100+ point man from North Bay. That creates an overage crunch for the Colts, though, so a difficult decision will have to be made, just like it's been made in other

The first week of the regular season is in the books and Farwell is already trying to walk back his preseason predictions. Which leads the guys into a conversation about how meaningful the OHL's early season games are anyway. Plus, the league seems to have pulled back the covers on sharing important information with fans.

If you listened to last week's Eastern Conference preview, well, this episode is nothing like that. It is the Western Conference preview episode, but Dan and Mike are on different planets. In the East, the guys agreed on the Top 4 teams, just in slightly different order. They had the same teams finishing 3 through 6 in the East. But in the West? Dan sees three tiers while Mike sees two, and they've got a couple of predictions that are miles apart. It's all fun for now, right? Let the games begin

The similarities between the predictions are kind of eerie, to be honest, and that can't bode well for the guys.Along with the East preview, the OHL served up enough news worth talking about as two more teams jumped into the "compensatory pick" pool and we might be seeing the beginning of CHL-NCAA movement, despite no formal

2024/09/06

For the first time in its history, the Ontario Hockey League begins a season without David Branch in the Commissioner's seat. Instead, former Golf Canada executive Bryan Crawford takes over the league's top job. It's a hard act to follow, not just because Branch was the OHL's commissioner for 45 years, but because Crawford comes into the league after an incredible end to 2023-24 that saw two OHL teams in the Memorial Cup final, with the Saginaw Spirit winning the championship in the game's final 22
