i know they want teams from each league represented but soo thunderbirds have 15 losses. thats terrible especially considering the quality of that league.

Craigshaw, you guys have got no respect ALL year. I hope you go on to win the OPJHL Championship without ever been rated in the Top 15. Maybe after that they'll be brave enough to put you there.

Hey Craig:

Having had the experience with the Tigers last year during their march to the RBC Championship, I quite agree with you. I think that rating Committee, whoever they are!!!, want to include every league. We found out last year that the SIJHL and the NOJHL winners were amongst the weakest teams that we met the whole year, including the OPJHL. I can't see how the those leagues could have improved that much, I guess we will find out at the Dudley in Newmarket. The next weakest team that we faced was from the MJHL and I see that they are rated again in the top 15, the Selkirk Steelers. They were the weakest team at the RBC last year. Again unless the MJHL suddenly got stronger I can't see them in the top 15 either. The Pembroke Lumber Kings, the only team to beat the Tigers at the RBC, I think are pretty strong this year from what I hear from a friend of mine in Pembroke.

Anyway as we were saying on Sunday, there will be 2 teams from the OPJHL this year in the Dudley, Newmarket and ???, I'm sure the Dudley Champion will be an OPJHL team. I also think that whoever it is, be it Newmarket or ??? will have a good chance of keeping the Royal Bank Cup in Ontario.
