Have any of the Durham teams signed anyone or do the fans have to play the waite and see game? Nothing on the web-sites regarding signings or announcements. Is this normal or are these teams still working through their rosters? Bowmanville always seems to put a competitve team together and Ajax should have a decent team with many returning forwards but waht about Pickering and Whitby? Does anyone have any inside scoop on these teams. I would hope that both teams have made some significant changes to make sure they are not the cellar dwellers again!!

Pickering has added goalie Zach Zanussi from Dixie, from the Pickering website

Nice pickup by Pickering should bring them up in the standings this season!

Has Bowmanville picked up any new players.

Not sure about "new" players, but it would appear that they are going to fill the majority of their roster with local kids. The big question is in nets.

Is Cooper not back with Bowmanville?

cooper will depend what the oshawa generals do. if he doesn't fit in their plans they may work out a trade for him.
