Till January I believe. But I think they'll want to cut that down as soon as possible.

Wish they would just make the obvious move and get rid of Hawerchuck :///

Tyler Tucker has been returned to the Colts from the St.Louis Blues

 

[JetsColts13]

Been looking at camp rosters. Believe Willms, Zhukov and Chiodo have returned as well. Just waiting on Keane, Pekar and hopefully Magwood.

Hopefully they are just brining them to main camp for the experience and than sending them back after.......

Just got word that Kai Edmonds has been traded to his hometown team the Ottawa 67's for a 7th round pick in 2020.

he is playing tonight?

Yes I guess it was just someone playing around with me

Colts looked brutal last night against a Niagara team that had all their rookies playing....... They were beat to every puck battle and thats why they lost 3-1. Refs were brutal as well so that didn't help at all. Brown with the only goal for the colts as he continues to have an impressive pre-season already with 2 goals and 4 points in 4 games. Next game Saturday against the Petes, hoping Pekar and Magwood are back by than, along with Keane!

 

[JetsColts13]

Colts pulled it together last night. Looked much more Cohesive. Willms has really impressed me. Suzuki really good as well. Thought Zhukov played well and made some big saves. Nice to get a big win before the home opener!

 

[haymaker22]

Colts looked okay last night against a very young Peterborough team. Standout players to me were Hill, Wilms, Peca, Zhukov, Tucker, and once again Brown. Seems to me that Dale is going to have to keep juggling around the lines to see what works. Looked at times last night that the chemistry wasn't there for all 4 forward lines.

 

[haymaker22]

Anyone have any news on Magwood, Keane, and Pekar???

 

[haymaker22]

Joey Keane is still at camp with the New York Rangers, Zach Magwood is on a tryout basis with Milwaukee in the AHL, and Matej Pekar has been returned to the colts and will play in their home opener. Looking like at this point Magwood may be a long shot at returning to the team this season.... and if my estimates are right Keane will be sent back in coming days or weeks.

 

[haymaker22]

Joey Keane has been sent back to the colts this morning from the New York Rangers. He should be in the lineup tonight against Owen Sound.

Is Magwood injured or still at a pro camp? Just asking cause I see #16 in the lineup tonight and #18 not. As a Battalion fan I hope #16 stays for obvious reasons.

Magwood still at pro camp.

Awful attendance for the home opener tonight. I've never seen it that low. Pretty sad.

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.

 

[haymaker22]

Colts used to get on average 3 thousand or more per game 2 years ago.... ticket prices go up and attendance goes down. Awful job by the coordinators of the team of marketing and advertising ticket sales.

North Bay = the same. No “specials” and attendance has dropped every year, this is year 6 in the Bay. Lowest in the league last season.

Attendance for the first 5 opening nights: 4236, 4086, 3764, 3080, 2843. Rather than an exact number, my prediction is a range 2250 - 2500, hopefully this is way below the actual.

I think it was $18 for the exxy game we took in

yup its just pathetic, for a pre season game. In my opinion that should be the price for a regular season game.

 

[Millpond]

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