I was looking online and it showed most/all the seats were taken. I wasn’t sure if people sell them if they can’t make it.
Yes STH can return game tickets up to 72 hours before game for refund. These are then resold to general public.

With one week left in regular season, if my math is correct, it is possible for four teams to finish tied with 73 points each!
Guelph has 71, beat Erie, lose to Windsor and Saginaw= 73
Kitchener has 69, beat Flint and Erie, lose to London=73
Flint has 73 , lose to Kitchener and Owen Sound= 73
Owen Sound has 69, beat Flint and one of Sarnia (play them 2 games) or Saginaw=73

Then it gets interesting- I'm sure someone knows the complete tiebreaker rules (not me)
Love the excitement of the OHL!

I believe the first tiebreaker is most wins in regulation.

Side note, does anyone know if hockey cards are sold at Spyke's? My kid got some free packs of cards and was disappointed it was all NHLers. 😆

Making the trip to Guelph. Is there anything to see or do? Restaurants?

We plan to spend the day in and around that area.

Guelph has some great green space, if you like nature walk along the river, or head out to Guelph Lake Conservation area. Downtown has a lot of good little shops, cafes and restaurants. What kind of food do you like?

Best pub IMO: The Wooly
Best Thai food: Eat Thai
Stone baked pizza: Buon Gusto
Italian: Sugo on Surrey

Goldie Mill is a nice spot if you like ruins/old buildings.

Guelph draws Sarnia... ouch.

They will need to out coach them and win with specialty teams. I hope Namestikov puts up big numbers against his former club. He finished the season with 39 goals, just one less than Pastujov. 🙃

Game day!!!! Here's hoping the Storm start the game strong and come out hungry.
Everyone needs to show up and step up if Guelph is going to pull this off.

Not a fan of our second PP unit. Our top line can hang with theirs but the lack of depth in this match-up is killing us.

Between the 3 goal deficit after 2 and the Sting coaches spirit wear... I can't.

When you've just turned 40 but switch over to 20/20 during the third.

We'll be there for all home games... put up a fight guys.

It's not over yet. Guelph could still channel the 2019 Storm. I won't be worried until we lose one in our barn. Guelph got in Sarnia's head yesterday, including Gaudreau and if that sticks and Sarnia continues to lack discipline.... watch out.

Edited to add: Also, tomorrow's a work night.... so if it doesn't go to triple overtime I'll be pleased. Lol.

They need to watch the replays of that 2019 team. Alas I don't think it's going to happen.
To be expected as their top scorer was traded to the team they're playing against. No shame.

As for tonight's game... I expect to head on over to the Sting board and see that they are calling out refs for the slanted game tonight. Little known fact that 60% of the refs mothers live in a Bluewater retirement facility so therefore officiating is biased in favor of Sarnia. :sarcasm:

Ya I’d say the home team in each game has been at the disadvantage so far in this series due to poor officiating.

The following post in no way indicates that I am counting the Storm's season done... just getting excited about next year. Here is how I think the lines will shake out:

Karabela/Poitras/Bowman
Namestnikov/Trade/Luchanko
Zhugin/McGuire/Paquette
McKnight/McKenzie/Rookie
Grundner

Buchinger/Trade
Romeo/Allen
Sandhu/Topp
Robinson

Leaver/Gillespie
