His billet has said he’s one of the best kids they’ve billeted. Messier will play board games, watch TV, and do puzzles with his billets. Many of the kids this particular billet has had would come home and go straight to their rooms.
Even if Erie wins the lottery, they have to be concerned on who will report. Despite poor seasons in the past, this was actually the worst season yet. They had higher expectations but yet they fired their 2nd coach in just 1 calendar year, they hired an outdated, defensive first coach, and they currently have their worst winning percentage since 2012-2013. Things actually got worse this year if that was even possible. It’s clear from the outside that they have no idea what they are doing anymore. I just don’t understand how DB is still here. His hire of SB speaks volumes to how out of touch he is too. It’s a dumpster fire now. SB is not and never will be the answerYeah, the Butler thing seriously concerns me. He was a winning coach in the OHL for many years but I'm skeptical that he's the answer in 2023. I'll give him a chance, just hope they didn't sign a long contract. Hopefully somebody on the thread goes to the town hall thing & can report on it.

The Butler hiring strikes me as an interim placeholder-stop the bleeding- while they try to find another Knoblauch. Stan can get the kids heads on straight and prepped for another young coach next season. Just my take on it...
Hope you are right. In theory it makes sense but again, just looking at the moves this team has made in recent years - they don’t really strike me as a franchise that gets it or is investing the proper resources. But given SB age, it’s not like you can expect him to be the answer for 5-10 years so there has to be some of that in there, hiring him for short term stability. Regardless, I think it was a lazy hire.
And we play Hamilton at home this Tuesday. Why couldn’t Tuesday’s game be in Hamilton and next Sunday’s game be in Erie?
Been saying this for years. Erie always has the road/home/road or home/road/home 3 in 3 or 3 in 4 sequences. Never has made sense and even when they were winning 50 games a year, they lost games simply from exhaustion/travel. It’s a joke.
William Moore with the Toronto Marlboros. He’s an ‘07 but played with Spence and Misa on the ‘06 Mississauga Senators the past few years before this one. He’s very good. Reportedly applied for exceptional status for this year but only Misa got it.In other news, are there are any sure fire studs in the upcoming OHL draft? Erie in lottery pick territory again
I figured these jerseys wouldn’t go as high as other specialty jerseys. I wonder why Jim Waters picked those two jerseys(nothing wrong with that).
It's considered a staged fight which carries an automatic game misc.
I ordered a Cancer Awareness jersey from the store because I knew that auction would be way more than I could afford. I’m still waiting for it to come back from customization.
Teams can carry four overage, 20 year old, players on their roster to begin the regular season, with a limit of three able to dress in a game lineup. So, it’s based on birth year. Johnston is an OA next year along with Saganiuk, Bressette, Gilmartin, Kulakov and all 2003s across the league.
There has always been both a minor and major penalty depending on the severity of the interference. Majors were rarely called before the crackdown on headshots and blindside hits.
Yes. Jan.1 is the cutoff. Players having their 20th birthday before that date are eligible.
