@BlakeCallagha14 Agreed. But I can’t see HC changing that any time soon. Having a son who just finished U16AAA season it’s very difficult to navigate what’s the best fit for him next season. Could go in many directions

@chrisgray1973 U 18 is week because Hockey Canada allows every junior team to have two 16 year old cards. 12 CCHL 10 EOJHL. 44 U16 kids can play junior next year. U16 only has about 85 players take the top half away does not leave much for U18.

Should HEO lobby Hockey Canada to allow an increase of 16 year-olds to play in the CCHL? To do this the EOJHL would have get zero 16 year-old cards. We cannot destroy U18.

@BringBackLee If only I could get one tonight. They said it would be a 15 min wait!

This is the elite food option at the CTC in the 100 level. One of the few repeat ones I'll go for. Birria grilled cheese.

@SensMoggerr The Sens have the worst intermissions in the league. Jr teams that do chuck a puck are more interesting

Ottawa Senators second intermission show tomorrow

@ryanpmcarthur There’s not a single player on TB who will be drafted. Meanwhile VK and 3-1 Marlies don’t advance.

It’s hard to argue having the Thunder Bay Kings at the OHL Cup. Due to blowouts against them, three teams from their division made the quarterfinals. In three other divisions only one team advanced, and the fifth division had two teams move on. Need to have balanced competition.

@IceDogsReport @KGN_Insider I suppose but he just looked good to me not dominant like I would expect from an ES

@chrisgray1973 @KGN_Insider He’s been elite in that level for a year. Why hold him back when he’d be drafted top 5 this year if he was the same age

Oshawa wins the rights to select exceptional status d man Kade O’Rourke with the #1 pick. Erie wins the rights to select Tanner Adams #2 who would’ve went #1 if for no exceptional status guy

@ParryHockey @ryanpmcarthur So far they have lost 13-1 and 10-1. I think it would have been more competitive for them if they joined that NOHA team

@ryanpmcarthur @chrisgray1973 Because Northwestern Ontario is part of Ontario and those boys deserve representation to showcase themselves. Plain and simple.

There are seven spots TBD for the OHL Cup. I’d assume the two automatic berths will be UCC and The Hill (but maybe could be Woodbridge, Missy Sens, or Don Mills). Thunder Bay will probably get the HNO spot as per usual unless they change something. Wild card has four entries.

@thatgirlkristyn @Sens86Mama Guys who make like $8M a year need to charge for autographs? 🙄

@Sens86Mama I would pay my life savings

Whats the price to punch Matthew Tkachuk in the face Asking for a friend

@BlakeCallagha14 You watching the Titans/Cyclones wild card game on Monday?

Two players I coached at Algonquin College are now head scouts in the OHL. Another from my time at Carleton CIS is a development guy in the OHL The best thing about that is they still talk to me. I love this game . I get to see them all at OHL Cup next week. Life is good.

@ryanpmcarthur Yes I think that would be a much more competitive team. I think they do have one like that coming already?

@chrisgray1973 They should make an HNO selection team. Include the kids from Thunder Bay, Fort Frances, Kenora, Dryden, and everywhere in between. Maybe there’s some hidden gems from the northwest.

@ryanpmcarthur @TCass44 I can argue them out. 2 underagers they don’t need to look at for the 2026 draft. More kids probably getting drafted off OVT this year v Cyclones

@TCass44 I’ve got the Upper Canada Cyclones as a wild card. Hard to argue them out of the equation. I’d say they should be a lock.

The 8 wild card spots (for 4 entries) for the OHL Cup will be interesting. If The Hill/UCC (prep) don’t get auto berths, they would be included below. My picks for the entries: Missy Sens, Don Mills, Woodbridge, Cyclones, Barrie, Ajax, and Biosteel. COW or OVT for the final spot.

@ryanpmcarthur So my predictions Committe Selection - UCC & Hill/Sens Wildcards 1 Don Mills 2 Ajax 3 Barrie 4 Hill/Sens 5 BioSteel 6 HEO 7 USA 8 USA/HEO

@thatgirlkristyn @SensBuzz I didn’t renew either

@SensBuzz thank god I’m saving 6K next year

Ottawa drops to 14-11-5 on Home Ice Have won 1 of their last 9 vs Atlantic Division teams Brady Tkachuk had 1 hit in a game vs Montreal

@thatgirlkristyn And I’m sure he paid for a ticket lol

I hate the mayor of ottawa and it enrages me to see him at sens games

@thatgirlkristyn I’m starting to wonder if they have quit on Green

I am officially worried about the ottawa senators

@TimmysSens Needs to go to Belleville and play a lot

I see way too many excuses for Merilainen He has been god awful this year

@BlakeCallagha14 Start the regular season in mid October. No need to start in mid September. Regular season go until at least first week of March

what would you do to fix this

@BlakeCallagha14 If you don’t make the playoffs some teams are done mid February

The end of HEO AAA regular season is less than a month away. We only have two playoff rounds so our players will be finished hockey early March. Does this bother anyone else. Early end to winter hockey is why spring hockey started. time to rethink our seasons.
