Guelph Storm 2024 - 25 Season Thread, Part I

[LDN]

This is awesome and makes so much sense! Congrats to Jett and the Storm organization. His comments about your team in the recent LFP article really sound like the type of leader you want captaining your team.

Stillman needs to go… he has taken a bunch of good young players and made them a lot worse.
systems or not it doesn’t matter if you aren’t winning:

? Did you expect our band of 16 and 17 year olds, the youngest team in the league, to beat the loaded Knights? Where were you when Wiseman was here...

Next year they’ll take a big leap I am sure. Particularly Singh, Steven’s, mclean, Beauchesne and snelgrove and Jenken would be the ones I’d be keeping an eye on.

That’s NOT even including guys like skvortsov, McFadden, McKenzie, Serlin, Paquette(late birthday OA) and some obvious ones- Ellsworth and Jovanovski the goalies.

Without a doubt you’ll be best in 2 years but next year you should be a still young team. May not compete against the top of the league but could be 0.500 or slightly above. Also factor in you’ll likely miss the playoffs and get a top 4 pick in the OHL Draft, u18 (depth), and Import draft top 12-16? You should have a very good fun to watch team when the mem cup is back in 2026-27, and if Luchanko comes back and you trade him for whatever you’ll be in an even better spot- same with Paquette for picks

You didn't even mention Katzin, 17 and highest PPG rookie in the league. Guelph will be fine, news flash, that's the case even in the likely scenario that they also lose to Oshawa this weekend!! No need for pearl clutching.

Brantford and Oshawa up next. Glad we're healthy (save for Jenkin, hope he's OK!), and have the leadership group sorted. Our top 6 F are now vets, except for Katzin, less pressure on the rookie forwards will be good for them. The D/goalies are still young and in tough each night, but they'll learn through doing. I can't wait to see our goalie tandem in 2 years.
