Usually they will post the home opener schedule on a Wednesday and the regular season the next Thursday. I could be wrong, but that’s how I remember it.Anyone know when the OHL schedule release is? Hoping it could be this week or next
Kingston one has been up already for about a week maybe 2 but not released to public yet- just finalizing stuff. I assume whenever the ohl figures out stuff like concert dates they’ll post itAnyone know when the OHL schedule release is? Hoping it could be this week or next
Why do we seem to be the only team who has yet to sign anyone? Understandably they wouldn’t sign EVERYONE who went to camp. I expected at least Challenger to sign post rookie camp at minimum.
I could see them bringing up one of D’Allesio or Ambrosio spending the season here over Holomego. Ambrosio had a grit to him that we could use. Both prospects looked promising. I’m not sold on Sauder being a lock either. I could see them trading him for picks. He’s consistent and has the experience and size. I wouldn’t be heartbroken if he’s gone.Terrance - Spence - Edwards?
Fimis - Molnar - Import?
Messier - Roysten - Alfano?
Challenger? - Hammond?
Sova/Henry
Schaefer/Sauder
Daviault/Holomego
Knight
Burns/Gibbons
Import/Trade?
Just throwing out our guys here in no real particular order, but we will need to fill a 4th line with new players and/or trades. We have hopefully 1 impact import player whom will likely be a forward or goalie which is why I put them at either forward or goalie but feel as though a trade for a goalie is the cheapest, most effective route and trying to pull another higher end forward.
Otters announced the signing of 1st round pick Tyson Challenger.
Old news… he signed like 3 weeks ago but I’m sure announcing it was to cover for the lack of a Thanksgiving game drama.Otters announced the signing of 1st round pick Tyson Challenger.
Tyson, Tyler whatever. LolTyler...I've caught myself saying Tyson a lot lol
Wait is there drama over that not being a game? Or are you yourself being dramatic by wording it that way… Hope it’s the latterOld news… he signed like 3 weeks ago but I’m sure announcing it was to cover for the lack of a Thanksgiving game drama.
A lot of people who went to rookie camp asked the front office when we would see some prospects signed. Chad said they would sign closer to training camp in August. It’s my guess that because the change in schedule didn’t go over well with a lot of fans, they randomly announced Challenger’s signing. We all saw he signed a few weeks ago based on social media that he had Otters issued gear.Wait is there drama over that not being a game?

Flint plays that night every year and it’s often a sellout or close to it.A lot of people who went to rookie camp asked the front office when we would see some prospects signed.

As for the lack of Thanksgiving game, I wasn’t a fan of the change. I prefer to go to the game on the holiday. We don’t travel downtown because it’s chaotic the day before Thanksgiving. It is what it is, we will adjust accordingly.
Challenger having Erie gear prior to signing is not at all unusual, especially with 1st round picks who will almost always inevitably sign hence why they picked him where they did. It also doesn’t seem ideal to sign a kid and then not give him the proper 2024 social media treatment by posting it soon after, but rather waiting weeks to announce. If I was the 16 year old, I would be a bit hurt or annoyed by thatA lot of people who went to rookie camp asked the front office when we would see some prospects signed.

unless they told the kid the reason and he was cool with it. I can’t imagine they didn’t tell him they were not gonna announce it for weeks. why wouldn’t they?Challenger having Erie gear prior to signing is not at all unusual, especially with 1st round picks who will almost always inevitably sign hence why they picked him where they did.

While I understand some fans being frustrated or disappointed with the Thanksgiving game change, I’m not one of them. That’s a busy day for most people and I’ve had years where I don’t go simply because by the time 5-6pm rolls around, I’m no longer in the mood and it’s been a long day. I didn’t really think much of the change until you posted about it and linked it to Challenger because imo it’s a minor change and one they could just be experimenting with and return to day of game next year depending on ticket sales and crowd response
Is changing a Thanksgiving day game to the night before enough of a reason though? It’s not that serious of a thing…unless they told the kid the reason and he was cool with it. I can’t imagine they didn’t tell him they were not gonna announce it for weeks. why wouldn’t they?
I have no idea or care why, I k ow kids sign all the time and are asked to wait to announce itIs changing a Thanksgiving day game to the night before enough of a reason though? It’s not that serious of a thing…
Ok well we were talking about the context, the timing, and how one poster related it to the schedule release. So asking a kid to wait multiple weeks for that specific reason (regarding no thanksgiving game) sounds extremely odd and if true, then gulp. Yikes. The organization is in much rougher shape than I thoughtI have no idea or care why, I k ow kids sign all the time and are asked to wait to announce it
