i looked at last nights rosters for hamilton and wellington and found some interesting comparisons.
88's W-7, H-5
89's W-7, H-7
90's W-3, H-3
91's W-2, H-2
92'S W-0, H-2
The biggest difference I found was Wellington has 14 players that played in Wellington last season and Hamilton has 6 that played there last year.

The entire Management team in Hamilton has not only got quality players but players that will gel and work together for a common goal. They have done a great job in explaining to top players that the ice is going to be divided up for the betterment of the team in addition to McGrail and their New Keeper they have Steckley coming in the near future. Looking forward to seeing Crawford McGrail and Steckley, Pageau,Ruberto and Diamond, than McQuade,Vella, Revell, Hyman, Schwartz

Merry Christmas Hamilton Fans

If it was for the betterment of the team or the Hamilton Fans, I would rather see Dadic, Watson or Vlad over those .......................... Oh, never mind, I temporarily forgot what the purpose of owning a team was.

Hey your entitled to your opinion.

strong rumour has Adam Beveliqua also going to Hamilton along with Branco from Milton. If this is the case everyone watch this team fly

The Guelph Storm traded little-used forward Kyle Steckley to the Niagara IceDogs yesterday for a conditional 15th-round draft pick.

The six foot, 210 pound winger was originally chosen by the Storm in the third round of the 2006 draft. He went pointless in 16 games for the Storm since then, playing just two games this year.

"We're happy he's able to play somewhere," Storm coach/acting general manager Jason Brooks said.

"Initially we kept him this year because of injuries and we weren't sure how J.P. Labardo and Cody McNaughton were going to adjust. Then we acquired Baldwin and the numbers just ate him up a little bit."

Brooks also pointed to a shoulder injury suffered in the pre-season as setting Steckley back

I've always liked Branco from back in his Derby's days. Getting him would be BIG.

Kyle Steckley is a 1990 born forward that spent the last 2 years with Fort Erie of the Jr. B league.

He was a 3rd round pick of the Guelph storm that played a handful of games each year prior to be dealt to Niagara this year.

If he gets the ice he should be able to use his size effectively in this league & rack up a fair number of points.
