Where is the list of attendees?

The schedule I posted was not public knowledge. I worked on the rosters, to no avail, yet.

I think we will see the roster tomorrow

I’d imagine the late release is due to the Hounds trying to snag a few extra free agents to fill voids.

 

[HockeyPops]

Do they start today or tomorrow? I saw the OHL release info on 18 of the 20 teams training camps - Greyhounds were one of the two teams without any info...

I posted the schedule above but I left some information out as it had some information I didn’t want to post. They start on the 28th. Everything in one that except scrimmages. The 29th is the scrimmages. 30th is red and white.

Anybody know anything about Allard? I'd imagine the return would be a few picks. Similar to what we gave up last year for Beck. Doesn't help our FWD depth deficit but at least we can gain some capital. I'm all in on keeping both Fantino and Dezeote with our lack of forwards for sure.

We’re going to find out soon here..

I would imagine Soo doesn’t want to make the move now ( if true ) because we can get more at deadline. Not sure many teams have room for him now? I think not reporting to camp and waiting for a trade only hurts Allard.

and Carlisle. That’s the 3 overagers.

Have you heard why Allard wants out?

 

[DWI Dale]

i'd imagine he wants to chase a cup but that's just speculation!

 

[Kingpin794]

Have you heard why Allard wants out?

Whether he wants out or not, he was likely being dealt this season to rebuild. Just dealing a little sooner than maybe planned.

 

[HockeyPops]

TBH, I was having trouble piecing together a roster with Martin, Brown, and Allard all playing Center. Maybe he was asked to take on a different role that he doesn't want?

Would be better for Martin getting those 1st line minutes now, same with brown on line 2. Allard won’t be in the soo after Christmas.

Doesn’t make sense for him to stay. They may as well trade him to a contending team in his last year in the O’ and start the youth movement.

Gibson maybe stays until after Christmas because I’m sure someone would offer a first round player for him and then you start the rebuild around your younger guys. Just all depends on the direction the soo wants to go.

Would make sense building around the 07 class

no Telegaar?

 

[JoeSchmo]

no Telegaar?

No. Now they’ll probably keep Charlie lol

I see Owen listed but similar to what Colby Barlow is doing I don’t think he’ll be here

 

[DiggityDawg]

no Telegaar?

Heard Telegaar going BCHL. Thought was rumour, maybe not.

Big D Harris P. Not there either. That’s good for some lol

camputaro as well.

I feel the trend now with potential draft picks to say they’re going NCAA, so that a team will move fast and sign them. This will eventually come back and bite them. There’s no guarantee with an NCAA commitment either verbal or in writing by the school or player. There’s lots of factors involved with a big one being grades. A lot of decommits on teams part is grades. A certain level of GPA has to be maintained to play.

I’ve also heard Cali is above average in the IQ department. Someone called him a genius of a kid once.


I see no positive future in the Soo right now, even if we sell. 1 player in the first 5 rounds of the draft reporting is insane…. How do we move Charlie now?

I see no Pangretitsch either. Big rugged d-man.

Athletics alone will not get you into Harvard. The kid is obviously exceptionally talented on and off the ice.

Rooting for local athlete James Elliott to have a good camp. He's a longshot with his size but was part of that exceptional u15AAA team with chitaroni, blonda, and rossetto that was so exciting to watch.

Holy moly man! You've become even more scorched Earth than me!

I get it though, it would be nice to see some concrete steps taken to right the ship. Soo fans deserve better.
