North Bay Battalion 2024 - 25 Season Thread, Part I

[190 is almost 206]

He cried his way into a trade to his hometown Battalion! His Dad did the same thing when he was in the OHL with the Oshawa Generals (Got traded to Sudbury which is close enough to North Bay to stop his constant crying). Both got extremely homesick as would not stop crying until they got traded. Briir is not worth a 5th round pick!! Pretty big favor from the Battalion to the Long Family.

Wowzers. Great insight

Ya, I thought it might be a home-town favor to the kid.

Any word on Reyth Smith's injury? Could be 4 regulars out of the lineup.

How can they be facts if they are either right or wrong? You’re not making any sense Travis

Right meaning- The kid wanted to go home could because of homesickness and Brantford had no issue and did everything they could to accomidate him.

Wrong meaning- Brantford could have been pissed as they would have every right as they selected him for a reason. So much for team loyalty.

Facts- This is the situation! His Dad also literally did the same thing.

It didn’t have to be north bay, I know he was offered to 3:5 other teams as well.

 

[WorkHardEveryShift]

Clearly Travis Bickle has an axe to grind. Who else would bash a kid. Did he take your kids spot? Seems like he can play. Not many kids put up 65 pts in the GOJHL in their first year

as a matter of fact the kid would have been happy to stay in Brantford but they reassigned him to jr b so he asked to be traded. He wound ah e went anywhere.

what makes you think he would only go to north bay? If he would only go to north bay, why would North bay overpay? There’s a logic break down heee.

Guys, where’s Pazii been?

Guys, where’s Pazii been?

Read the post game reports after any Battalion game. They share this info regularly. I believe it was a hairline fracture to his collarbone in the Erie game. Same night Romani broke his

Thanks.

Notes from Wednesday afternoon’s workout:

3 Declan Gallivan was on ice in red non-contact. He participated partially and at less than full speed. His appearance in the lineup might still be several weeks away. 20 Reyth Smith was on ice in regular gear and operated at full speed. It would appear his 1G, 1A in 12GP will be back in for the next game. 9 Briir Long was on ice and doing rushes on what would appear to be a 4th line with 19 Nolan Laird and 11 Ryder Carey. 10 Dylan Richter still appears to be part of the team despite his scratch in the last game and the arrival of Long. I noticed on the league’s Stats section that 17 Tyson Rismond has the dreaded X beside his name after 1GP.

13 Iggy Pazii and 15 Tony Romo were nowhere to be seen as their 2-3 month recovery (my guess, no evidence to support this) is now almost 3 weeks under way. 34 Mike McIvor was also not visible and remains a man of mystery.

McIvor was injured when Walton crashed in to him last Friday.
Other than that it only seems like you’ve missed 2006 born Laird’s stats. 1-0-1 in 14 GP. See I can pick a guy to dump on too.

Rismond was re assigned to OJHL last week. Has previously played in Powassan. Both him and Wilson were also sent to the OJHL last season. Seems that development agreement with Powassan might have fizzled away again

Or the OJHL offers a higher level of competition than the NOJHL.

Rismond was not reassigned by the Battalion but was released. He is now a free agent and free to go play were he wants. He hasn't played in a month and was not going too. He'll jump on to another Major Jr club later this year or next. As for Powassan they have Zero affiliation with the Battalion.

JT is embarrassing.....

 

[apfsds]

Not sure what game you were watching. I thought he played good. Got an assist, set up some chances, protected our goalie, hit the cross bar. Have to remember with ROMANI and Pazil out The second line has been a revolving door. LeBlanc is a winger not a Centerman, he only wins 31% of his draws but he has to play Centre because of the lack of depth. They’ve been rotating players on LW on that line for the last 12 games which makes it hard.

I'm talking about laying on the ice faking an injury about 5 times for prolonged periods of time....only to get up and stay on the ice for another 30 seconds. Not to mention another stupid penalty.

 

[apfsds]

If you get cross checked from behind or tripped going up the ice then that’s a penalty. Some get cold and some don’t get called. That’s the game. The first penalty he was protecting our goalie Which we should do. Mcivor got hurt because of the liberties other players have with their goalies. The second shouldn’t have been one, even the commentators said it was weak.
Any person who has played this game a a high level would know that.
It’s always easy to judge watching from a TV screen when you’ve never played at that speed, pace and intensity.

As a STH, I've seen pretty much every game JT has played here. Great skater, great shot, probably a good teammate. He may be fooling you, but he isn't fooling any Ref in the league with his diving and faking injuries act. In fact, it's becoming an embarrassment to the whole organization. I hope he's smart enough to realize this and stays on his feet, out of the box and plays the game as it should be played.

 

[apfsds]

LOL , so I am right you have no idea .
If you know the game so well, pick up a phone or send an email to the organization. Tell them you know better than them and that the hits that JT is taking out there are not real hits and he’s making the organization look bad. I’m sure they’ll be very receptive of your knowledge and coaching/managing experience at this level. Who knows, you may get your wish and they trade him so you don’t have to watch him anymore.
