Will be sent down to Junior A if he hasn't already, should be announced soon

Is Spencer Horgan getting traded?

He's now with the Cubs. Call up if needed to the wolves. Will continue to practice with the big club.

 

[agillarda]

Probably not traded just sent back down. 19 and 6 games at this level. 2 this year.

The Paper Kings (One of the wolves affiliates i think, they were a year or 2 ago) traded him to the Greater Sudbury Cubs (another affiliate) where he is playing tonight and has a goal.

The Cubs are LOADING up for a repeat of NOJHL champions.

Just an update looked into it the wolves are no longer affiliated with the paper kings although we do have a prospect there.

Great deal for the Cubs, and also for Horgan as a 19 year old to get the opportunity to play on a team like that. Don't really think this is the best thing for the league, but I understand why certain teams have to make these type of financial moves to stay afloat. NOJHL has always had some parity issues, but the Cubs are on an entirely different level to everyone else this year. Good on them though.. amazing team on paper.

They are alot of players returned from last year, they have taken the best offensive defenseman and the NOJHL scoring leader from last season and replaced Chitironi with Walker who is still putting up almost ppg numbers as a 16 year old.

I was there for the championship game was an amazing atmosphere.

Yes, they have a great team for sure. They already had the top team and bought the best player in the league, arguably the top dman (definitely the best offensively) and they also just paid another fee to bring in a very good goalie from Stoufville (OJHL). It is impressive the roster they have, I just wish there was more parity in the league to make the games better to watch. That is all I meant. Will be interesting to see if they can do some damage this year at the Centennial Cup (assuming they get there).

Very good point on the parity. Was thinking the same thing recently.

As good as they are in the nojhl , it's a different animal with they play/ played for the cup. Others teams on another level.

It was a different level when they went for the National Championship, but they now have the experience, wouldn't be surprised to see a better showing should they make it again. Moxam has them playing great he has built quite the system there.

 

[Wolfman Jack]

Molnar updates anyone???

[cobra9850]

Looked like he was favouring his shoulder on his way off the ice.There was only a 2 minute penalty without a review for a bad hit from behind.

 

[djscooter]

Molnar updates anyone???

WJ

Week-to-Week, likely a month+ though

Video for those who did not see the hit



Leaving your feet to hit from behind is fair game now I guess.

 

[WolvesFanInNorthBay]

Nice goal from Blonda there! Wolves playing excellent defensively so far this game!

 

[NorthernBridge7]

Henderson is the most improved player on the team since the start of the season for me - I enjoy watching him play.

Does the OHL still have a limit of 3 fights before suspension? I feel like Villeneuve has fought 7 times already this season.

This is Villeneuve's third fight this season. He had one October 16th vs Sault Ste Marie, last Sunday against North Bay and tonight.

He will be suspended for an automatic 2 games.

Does he get another 2 games for his 4th fight when he returns, or does it restart the count at zero?

Is this for certain suspension?

 

[WolvesFanInNorthBay]

Is this for certain suspension?

As per this article it's every fight after the threshold.

"The new rule for fighting will see the minimum threshold for suspension lowered to three fights per player per season. Players who exceed that threshold will be subject to an automatic two-game suspension for each fight over the new limit."

But I thought there was an instigating rule that plays apart. Only fight I've seen out of the norm was last week, which he made a poor choice.

I'll be curious to see if you are 100 correct.

 

[Howling In 16]

So why the game misconduct for both Allen & Villeneauve in the first?

From what I've been reading if he's being instigated upon then that doesn't count towards his total.

Edit to add: I checked the game sheets for the two other fights and Villeneuve's opponent did not receive an instigator penalty.

I don't believe he's had an instigating fight either

The penalties aren't even posted on the OHL site. Maybe I'm not seeing right
