We are getting closer to OHF

GTHL - Erindale

OMHA - Oakville vs ST Thomas / Port Perry vs Stouffville - probably Oakville

Alliance - Kitchener or Stratford - probably Kitchener

NOHA - Either Valley East or Sudbury

HOST - St Thomas

Could be some interesting matchups - potentially a Valley East - Oakville Final

Did you have to say probably Oakville? Now the PP boys will be all over this.
Lol.

NOHA Playdowns: Sudbury is in the AA playdowns. Contenders in A are Temiskaming Shores, Nickel Centre & Valley East.

NOHA - How are those 3 teams????

PP boys are on the way to tonights game so we get a few hours of freedom from them !!!!!
We know Valley East is good but not sure about the others

Oakville plays better as a team
St.Thomas lucky and don't ask me how?
Erindale will not win a game
Valley east will dominate this final.

St. Thomas is the host. Thats how.

Here, I will chime in for PP, just to make everybody feel at home. Here it goes...you guys are all jealous of us, we will kill everyone after we kill Stouffville tonight. The only reason we ever lose a game is if we have one or two of or star players missing. WE have at least 5 star players that should be playing AAA. No A or AA team in Ontario can play with us. We would actually compete for the AAA championship if the OMHA would lete us.

There, now on with the thread!

lol not bad man, that's pretty close!!

very good pp impersonator - very good

You nailed the PP parents, you must be one of them. LOL

I predict the two best A teams in Ontario
Valley East - Oakville Final
Valley East will win 4-3

why is everyone so jealous of Port Perry???? You people sound like school yard 9 year olds!! Your kids are more mature than you!

They will really be jealous of PP after they win the OHFs.No one on this list can beat this team.

Really valley east would crush PP. But that will never happen Oakville will sweep PP.

No one can beat PP? Didn't Stouffville twice?

People,who really cares its "A" hockey ....glorified HL.

Would that make the Braves HL? lol

As a matter of fact ....yes it would.

lol

Can the Braves now qualify for the "A" OHF seeing there doing nothing right now. Just wondering?

No. Erindale beat them earlier in the year. They blew their chance.

True

Erindale - Good team but NO MATCH for these other teams

You will see that the GTHL has no competitive A teams

And no competive AA teams either.

Are you talking about the Braves again?

Who are the Braves?

They play out of Atlanta

Great team. Tomahawk chop.

Valley east already crushed Oakville at SS so why does anybody think they won't do it again?

Has PP played Valley East this year?

Yes. Lost 1 - 0 at BCC. Rumour has it they were missing their best player.

noha playdowns this weekend

if you want to follow along

This is a bit of a joke. Erindale has to play 3 weak teams in a 1 game round robin and they get in. The OMHA teams have to got through many eliminations to get in. Why is that? THere are at least 5 teams in the OMHA that would destroy Erindale so why don't they make it tougher for the GTHL and MHL team to qualify so we can have all strong teams in the OHF finals.

How do you plan on them doing that. GTHL A is very weak. Way too many teams of which most belong in HL. MHL is a much stronger loop overall so there is no easy solution. The MHL and GTHL teams also do not have the luxury of bringing kids back down from higher teams to take a run at the provincials. But MHL teams seem to always win one or two every year.

10:43 that is true they were missing their top player. PP have 2or3 really strong forwards that are very close in ability. Two very very strong defenceman

Your missing some info.....teams in the GTHL and MHL have to finish 1st in their division to be able to qualify for the playdowns.It is not like other areas where every team regardless of where they finish in their leagues are eligible.

That is true but the top teams in the G have trouble with the top 4 in the MHL at the younger ages. The G is horribly watered down. Even the bottom teams in the MHL have no trouble with mid pack and lower G teams.

The winner of the GTHL playdowns should have to go into the OMHA pool when there are 4 teams left and let those 5 teams play a round robin and the winner goes to the finals.

Look at how many times over the last 10 years any GTHL playdown winner has won the OHF finals. Hardly ever. So don't waste our time have them go to the Finals.

Don't go if it's a waste of your time...no one is forcing you.It is a priviledge to go...not a right.ER has earned the priviledge to go just like every other team that will be there.

Why? Because they are unable to stack their teams ala the PP's of this world. No kid is coming back from AAA to play A.

11:31.....Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

well said

11:34! why wouldn't a kid want to come back from AAA to play A?! AAA is not all that it's cracked up to be! 10 year olds don't care where they play! they just want to have fun and play with their buddies! It's the parents that care! the pathetic AAA parents just want to tell their friends that little Micheal plays AAA.....once again it's nerdy parents trying to live the dream

Wow a genius in our midst.

fukin right i'm a fukin genius on this lowlife network. nobody can out wit me

lol

Hey : 11:31 PM

Do you actually know the current OHF Atom A champion team? Come on give it a guess? It is a WEAK team as you keep calling them from the MHL, Port Credit. Yes a team from MHL WON last year. How could that be?

They only won because of the reffing.

Port Credit Atom A last season was not a weak team. 10 times stronger than this years Atom A MHL representative. Just wait and see.

Go look at all the age groups for the last 10 years and see how many GHTL/MHL A teams have done well at the OHF Finals. It is a very small list.

MHL & GTHL are watered down.

Its really "A-" hockey (lets not call it HL, give 'em that at least).

GTHL A is really watered down. MHL A is not bad. Look how well LP is doing in the Clancy and they are be far the worst team in the MHL A.

I'd rather not actually look, so I'll take your word for it

He is right.

11:25 your post is a joke. MHL and GTHL teams have to finish first than do a little round robin. BIG DEAL.

For all the other centres the teams have to win at least 3 play off series to qualify. Therefore they win their local Championship.

Winning the Season has nothing to do with winning in the playoffs.
At least the GTHL/MHL could do their round robin the first week of April and at least take the playoff champions from each league. They could than have the round robin with the top 2 teams playing a final game.

the Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaababy is back.

Must be from CO or Tillsonburg.

Valley East wins the NOHA crown. Good luck to all participants. See you in St Thomas.

So it is now,
GTHL - Erindale
OMHA - Oakville or Port Perry - probably Oakville
Alliance - Kitchener or Stratford - probably Kitchener
NOHA - Valley East or Sudbury
HOST - St Thomas

Is that correct?

Can they not let both PP and Oakville in this year as they are definitely in the top 5 in the Province. Just tell the weakest team to save their money and stay home.

10:16 No, Valley East will represent the NOHA.

10:19....you are right....tell one of the teams that worked hard all year and strived to get to the OHFs that they can't go because both PP and OAK should be able to go.That makes a lot of sense.

I suppose that if it was your sons team that was told to stay home you would be o.k with that?

"You will see that the GTHL has no competitive A teams"

The answer to that statement is that ONLY the GTHL and MHL have actual A level teams, all other centres like Port Perry, Oakville and Valley East, call themselves A teams but are in actuality AA or AAA teams in the rating system used by the GTHL/MHL. If it makes you feel better beating them fine, but don't say your teams are A level teams.

The guys from the small centres are all sand baggers. Better win at at the lower level and say you are a winner than compete where your child should be...C U in St Thomas...

PP is certainly guilty of that but Oakville does have AAA and AA teams as well. Oak is just a good team.

Is there any question about Valley East?

Shouldn't they beat Sudbury easily?

They've been saying they are better than Oakville all over N54, so how is it that Sudbury is even being considered?

What happened to Tillsonburg?

Sudbury is a AA team. Valley East has already qualified for the OHF's in Atom A by winning the NOHA A title over the weekend.

What is wrong with having 2 AA teams in Oak? If they have the caliber and #, no need to play against weaker teams...

What is wrong with having 2 AA teams in Oak? If they have the caliber and #, no need to play against weaker teams...

Oakville will not let them have two AA teams.

Looks like everyone except the Oakville/Port Perry match up done.

I have never seen Oakville but have seen St Thomas and Port Perry. Both are good teams. Valley East has played in the most competitive loop this season so they should be the odds on favourite for OHF.
Erindale - can't see them beating any teams

Oakville played in AA tournaments all year. The only A tourney they played was the silver stick. They lost that one in the final to Valley East. Oakville would love to have 2 AA teams but, they wont let them. They actually won one of the AA tourneys. Oaville, PP and Valley East should all be AA. Valley East could maybe even be AAA

Oakville will crush PP.

you betcha!

As this poster put it...re: Oakville / PP

Well...it's finally here; the match up everyone has been talking about and waiting for. I sure hope you N54 chatter boxes haven't hyped this for more than what it is! Time will tell!!!

PP will crush Oakville!!

Oakville will crush PP.

With our 5 or 6 AAA players there is no way Oakville will win. They may squeak out one win but that will be it.
Say goodbye to the season Oakville

Yeah our kids in PP are great!!

Their just better people than what Oakville can have!!
