First I want to ask the league is still playing a 50 game sched, correct ?
If so, why do some teams only have 49 games on their schedule ? ST.Mike's comes to mind. Maybe someone can double check, but I counted 49. It appears some have 50 and some 49.



Anyway ...


It there a chance of crossover playoff spots ?
Peterborough has 20 points, seventh in the East, while Mississauga has 18, sixth in the South. Could Peterborough slip into another division playoff tree should they finish ahead of the sixth place team in that division ?



Looking like the entire North Division will get in. Maybe time for restructuring the playoff format. I would like to see top four in each division.

Wex, according to the OJHL Website the playoffs are as follows:

1) 1st and 2nd teams in each division receive a bye in the 1st round.
2) 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th place in each division playoff in the 1st round against teams in their division only, 3rd plays 6th, 4th plays 5th in a 3/5 series.
3) Winners of 1st round in each division playoff against the 1st and 2nd place bye teams according to finish etc.
4) The only crossover is North division winner plays West division winner while the East division winner plays the South Division winner.
5) North/West winner plays South/East winner for the OJHL Championship.

As far as I know each team plays a 49 game schedule.

The schedule is 49 games; 24 home, 24 away, and one neutral site (showcase) game.

I thought they went to a 50 game schedule a few years ago ?
I know back when I was involved it was a 49 gamer.

Anyway, the league needs a playoff restructure. Agree / disagree ?

I agree big time structure last year was not bad best teams made the playoffs. This year everyone but three teams make playoffs

And the biggest impediment to the league's affinity with its' fans is the fact that, even the fans, are never sure of the playoff format from year to year.

But once the league gets to its' apparently mandated 24 teams, the playoff format will not need to change as frequently.

Don't hold your breath.

Stay tuned.


Wayjoy

many positional battles yet to go.



In the North all six make the playoffs.

In the West Brampton is out, which leaves the remaining six.

Same thing in the East, Peterborough has to make up 17 points in eight games. Not happening.

The only race for a playoff spot is in the South. Pickering has two games in-hand and three points to get into a playoff spot.
