Barrie Colts 2022-23 Off-Season Thread

Do or Die tonight, Good luck Colts!

Done !

Do or die tonight....back to back games hopefully .

 

[WorkHardEveryShift]

Colts and much of the OHL honestly don't draw regular season numbers usually till later in the playoffs. Less groups, no school night games. This is honestly the highest I've seen it outside of 2010 playoffs. Saying that, there isn't much left for tonight. Should be close to a 4000+ crowd.

It was 3200 again. 1000 empty seats. OK the Leafs were playing. But this could have been the last time you see the Colts this year

And they want to expand the arena? Why bother

Hell of a series folks. Barrie is huge pain to play against. Troops were in tough

Really? Over a clean hit. This is hockey after all. Keep your head up they teach that from day one. Unfortunate result. Vierling is a great player but to call that a bad hit would be atrociously wrong.

Gavin White? There aren't many less physical dmen in the league. Great skater, but I have never seen him throw a big hit.

Karma can hunt? Yikes! I will be looking over my shoulders from this day forward! Just joshing Devin.

 

[ktownfan]

Good effort by Barrie, 2 stupid penalties in the third , one by Frasca, and the other by Beaudoin turned the tide immediately
But thast can be the difference in a game

the shoulder clipped vierling's chin sending him into concussion protocol - know this from insides with the team.

that's contact to the head that went undetected from the lack of camera angles & close up views.

if veilring is in the series then you lose - simple is that.

I don't know the Petes team that way, for some reason getting him mixed up with other bulldog D from last year maybe kamerrer ik they had some solid ones

You could suggest that there is a grey area and it could have been called blindsiding; but head shot, no.

Answering the bell on a clean his is exactly what everyone’s been complaining about in hockey the last couple of years. Nonsense

so that's Stewart and now Patterson.

could have both been top 10-15 picks in 06' draft (especially Patterson).

add that to Beaudoin, and complimentary 2nd round picks in Lowe and ellinas looking like BAR is choosing to focus on their 06' group for next run.

wish now Akey was a year younger, will be graduated by the time these players are prime, but still be there when they should still be really good.

Maybe they sell Akey?

u want him?

All ohl teams do

Forlin and Newton are likely ohl players too. Forlin was ranked 14-35 for the 2022 draft everywhere.

[OHLColtsPuck]

I think the Colts have proven that they won't be an all in or tanking team. They want to be competitive every season and will balance that with being selective at the trade deadlines.

There is a lot of work to be done to sort out what to do with all of the03s. Hopefully they can find a home for everyone.

 

[DraftEligibleOHL]

NB announced their home opener will be against the Colts on Sept 29th. Hoping for full schedule(s) soon!

Barrie home opener is on Thursday Sept 28th vs NB

Looks like you guys are getting our #1 pick Sale. What kind of team will he have around him next year?

 

[Devin]

Looks like you guys are getting our #1 pick Sale. What kind of team will he have around him next year?

Would have probably been in OHL finals if he came last year. Colts are a younger team this year.

Lets put it this way - if he's around for 2 years then his 2nd year being here colts will be dangerous. which, based on the people in the org I've talked to sale should be here 2 years.

although me personally id be a little doubtful seeing mesar only here for 1 year.

 

[OHLColtsPuck]

We won't know officially if Sale is coming down until after NHL camps are done. Seattle could still assign him to the A if they feel he's ready. That's why he didn't come over last season. The NHL/CHL player transfer agreement needs to be more flexible in that matter.

 

[OHLColtsPuck]

Some Congratulations are in order.

Congratulations to Cole Beaudoin on making the Ivan Hlinka team Canada roster!

Congratulations To Beau Akey on getting drafed to Edmonton!

Congratulations to Evan Vierling on his AHL contract in Wilkes-Barre!

The OHL consists of 20 member teams, including 17 in the province of Ontario as well as three in the United States, with two in the state of Michigan and one in the state of Pennsylvania.

Great news for the Colts. I suspect Sale will be here after Seattle's main camp. Pieces starting to fall into place.

Curious who other Colts fans think will be there OA's if all eligible OA's return ??
