Toronto, ON – The Canadian Hockey League today announced that Chase Marchand of the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies is the Vaughn CHL Goaltender of the Week for the playoff week ending April 17 after posting a 3-0-0-0 record including two shutout victories with a goals-against-average of 0.37 and save percentage of .981.

Marchand made 53 saves in three games last week helping the first place Huskies earn a berth in the QMJHL Semi-Finals following a 4-1 series win over the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada.  He set a new QMJHL record with a shutout-streak that lasted 223 minutes and 23 seconds beginning in Game 2 of the series and into the Game 5 finale.  On Tuesday night he made 17 saves and earned second star honours in a 1-0 overtime victory in Game 3, then stopped all 20 shots he faced on Wednesday as second star of a 3-0 Game 4 triumph.  In Game on Friday, he stopped 16 of 17 shots faced in two periods of work as the Huskies prevailed by a 5-1 score.

A 20-year-old from Upper Tantlion, NS, Marchand is playing in his third career QMJHL season and first with the Huskies.  During the 2015-16 regular season he carried a record of 29-6-0-1 including two shutout victories while maintaining the league’s lowest goals-against-average with a mark of 2.42 and the second best save percentage at .911 helping the Huskies finish first overall.  Marchand has earned the weekly award twice so far these playoffs with a goals-against-average of 0.41 and save percentage of .981 while his five shutouts have tied a league record.

Also considered for the award this week was Landon Bow of the Seattle Thunderbirds who posted a 3-0-0-0 record including one shutout with a goals-against-average of 1.00 and save percentage of .948 against the Everett Silvertips, and New Jersey Devils prospect Mackenzie Blackwood of the Barrie Colts who also went 3-0-0-0 with a shutout victory posting a goals-against-average of 1.31 and a save percentage of .956 against the North Bay Battalion.

The NOJHL is a burgeoning league, which is funny considering that the Jr A league has been around since 1978, well a few years before but as a Jr A league, it was 1978 where the NOJHL story begins.

Rayside-Balfour gained the Canadians this season after the Nickel City Barons folded and were relocated around the town of Azilda, which is just outside of the city of Sudbury.

In the past, Rayside-Balfour has hosted many successful Jr A teams in the NOJHL. Most notably the Rayside-Balfour Sabrecats, who won 7 consecutive league championships and 3 Dudley Hewitt Cups from 1995-2002, the franchise also lost in 5 straight finals from 1987-1992. Impressive 15 year run making it to the finals 12 times. Not many Jr franchises can have that kind of longevity. Also, the Rayside-Balfour Sabrecats history is not associated with the Canadians franchise. The direct lineage with the Canadians goes to the Sudbury Nickel Barons, the Cups, Jr. Wolves and the Northern Wolves dating back to the year 2000.

But to the issue at hand now, the Rayside-Balfour franchise has a new owner. Adrian Gedye. I can’t recall if I have met the man face to face before, but I have conversed through various correspondence and he appears to be a good man. I haven’t had any poor interactions with him and you could expect that given the nature of his day job. A player agent/adviser with Uptown Sports. The man represents quality prospects from the age of Bantam up to the NHL. You may recognize a lot of the names on his list, heck if you check out his feed on Twitter you will find out some of the names that he represents.

 At first thought this is going to be a disaster. How can you have a player agent for a large agency own and run a team that won’t be bombarded with fringe players because they don’t know where else to play. What kind of favours will he make just to put certain players on the team? Will this team be able to sustain any type of success with a potential revolving door of one and done players.

 Or you can be completely positive about this transaction.

Again, I do not recall meeting the man face to face and I have no horse in the race as evidenced by any of the writings that are published.

But this could be one of the best things to happen to this league since current NOJHL Commissioner Robert Mazzuca decided to come back as commissioner of the league.

You have an owner who has some big pockets, resources at his disposal and a lot of ties to Northern Ontario. There is a lot of untapped hockey potential up north and given the state of the Sault Ste Marie minor hockey system as well as the Sudbury minor system there is a lot of players who may not have the chances that most Southern Ontario programs can offer. This can lead to a lot of hidden gems getting a huge chance and actually shine, not flounder. These types of transactions can really lift up a league and given the roll that the league is on, this just adds to it.

In the past 4 seasons, the league has expanded from 7 teams to 12. The commitment list to the NCAA has grown; development has improved sending more players to the OHL and overall elevating the standard of the league to a respectable choice for players of Southern and Northern Ontario and across the nation.

 If Gedye says he will infuse youthful prospects into his team, buying up/trading for extra 16 year old cards to put a maximum of 4 on the ice; use the connections to bring talent to Ontario to make an exciting and competitive team; use outside resources to help gain exposure for his team, the opposition and the league as a whole…. Then I say welcome aboard… not that I am on the official welcoming committee or anything.

Gedye made his first move as an owner bringing in a new coaching staff. Looks like those years working with Stu Hyman and the Hamilton Red Wings have already paid off. Daryl Moxam is the new head coach and Dave Clancy the new GM. Don’t know those names? That’s ok, the NOJHL does as both were recently assistants with the Laurentian University Voyageurs hockey program and prior to that, the duo helped coach the Sudbury Jr Wolves to a Dudley Hewitt Cup appearance, so there is a history of success with these men.

To recap, the new owner quote unquote ‘runs the north’ when it comes to hockey prospects, has resources for on ice and off ice transactions and improvements, declares he wants to suit up four 16 year olds this year and has but successful coaches behind the bench of a team that once had a 15 year run of success spanning over 2 decades the last time the town hosted a team… yeah I would say this can work…

 And if you are still asking yourself one vital question about this Hockey Owner and Player Agent… I asked him that question and I quote, ‘yes (still represent players) but nobody currently in the league.’

Picking nine out 12 winners correctly through two rounds isn’t too bad, but perfection wasn’t always my strong suit. Picking the correct number of games this year has been, well, near impossible, especially with some sweeps no one saw coming.

Many people are going to look at the Erie versus London Western Conference Final as the true championship series and the winner should walk through the finals and on to the Memorial Cup. But let’s not discount Barrie or Niagara in the East. Time and again it’s been shown that great goaltending can win it all and Niagara’s Alex Nedeljkovic was nothing short of spectacular versus Kingston. On the flip-side, Barrie’s quick strike offense has matched what Erie and London have done during these playoffs.

Both series look to be exciting for fans but if you can only catch one, I recommend the Erie versus London Conference Final. It’s shaping up to be a back and forth battle with momentum shifts from shift to shift. I would argue that series could end up being more entertaining than most NHL playoff matchups.

Round One Results

Western Conference

(1) Erie vs (8) Saginaw: Erie wins four games to zero (my prediction: Erie in four)

(2) Sarnia vs (7) Sault Ste Marie: Sault Ste Marie wins four games to three (my prediction: Sarnia in six)

Victor Mete	London	10	2	3	5	7	0

 

London goaltender Tyler Parsons is also draft eligible.

Key to the series: These two teams were as evenly matched during the regular season as any two teams in recent memory. London held the advantage in special teams, but in the playoffs it’s been the opposite. Two of the OHL’s best lines go head to head. Whoever wins the special teams, and which line tops the other will be the difference.

The proposed ‘Caledonia Rule’ is raring to go just as the Sutherland Cup is about to get underway.

Yes, the Sutherland Cup has begun with the 3 conference winners and the wildcard selection. It is the Jr B… equivalent to the Memorial Cup in Major Junior… well no, the Sutherland Cup is like the Dudley Hewitt Cup in the OJHL or the Bogart Cup for the CCHL… except there is no National tournament to crown the ultimate winner. They are just one of the 5 best Jr B teams in the country.

Within the Sutherland Cup, there is the Caledonia Corvairs, Stratford Cullitons, London Nationals and the Waterloo Siskins. Caledonia v Waterloo and Stratford v London before the winner of each series face off for the title.

As you can imagine the ‘Caledonia Rule’ is named after yep… the Caledonia ProFit Corvairs. And what does this rule pertain to? A cap on 20 year olds. Why is this rule named after the Back 2 Back Sutherland Cup champs? This years version of the Corvairs has Sixteen 20 year olds. Yes, 16. A big number. But a rarity. Sure this year, a few other teams are carrying double digit 20 year olds on their roster: Guelph, Leamington and St. Catharines are the other team with 10 or more.

But starting in 2016/17 the limit is 9, with OHL OA cast offs who never played in the GOJHL counting as 2 cards. Therefore you can only have 5 max. 4 former OHLers and a Jr A or Jr B OA for 5 total. You can play with the math however you would like, but is this rule a little too late?

Sure you can look at Caledonia going for a three-peat and saying something has to change. You can say that the GOJHL is very boring because of the Corvairs. I don’t know if that statement holds any weight, but I do find the GOJHL boring, but I will get into the reasons why later, and it may be a different reason than you think.

 Back to the 20 year old dilemma. Is this rule too late? Is this rule not needed?

In 2014/15, the Sutherland Champions only had 7 Overage players on their roster. The 2014 Champs…  only had eight 20 year olds on their roster.

 It appears that this is a reactionary rule just based on stopping the Corvairs from going for Four Championships… But if you look around the league… others have been using 20 years olds to stay competitive. As much as Caledonia has? No, most teams carry around 5 over age players. Enough to stay competitive and enough to help develop younger players into either quality Jr B players or more, help develop them to Jr A or Major Junior.

 From a completely outside appearance this is a great rule. The GOJHL needs an identity because it is the place where overage players go for one last year of ‘glory’ before they have to face the ‘real world’ so to speak.

Next year Buffalo returns to the league and we are back with 27 teams. 3 Conferences of 9, hopefully they come up with 4 conferences to even the odds and make the final 4 for the Sutherland Cup all the Conference Winners.

 But the GOJHL has to embrace what it is, a developmental league for the OJHL and other Jr A leagues in Ontario. Whether out east in the CCHL or up north in the NOJHL. Heck you are a developmental league for future OHLers who need that one year of Jr hockey close to home before lacing up for their draft year on one of the biggest stages in Jr hockey, the OHL.

 If you scale back 20 year olds per team, you share the wealth across the league, in theory at least. Just because Caledonia can no longer sign So many, you can now have neighbouring teams, Ancaster, Welland, Pelham, Niagara Falls, Brampton etc pick up the excess of 20 year olds and elevate their team and the league as a whole. If you are not developing younger players in your feeder system of a league, then you are doing a big disservice to those in the league. Yes, the GOJHL may be the highest level most of the players get to, but for those who need a year or two before jumping to the next, make the league as competitive as possible and develop more players and earn more scholarships.

 For a league without a face, this is a great way to make a statement. Show that moving forward, this league is focusing on developing players, not just for your league, but to move on to higher levels.

Even if most of the Franchises they should have a Jr A designation already. I am not here to debate that… yet.

The next step for the GOJHL is to get the 16 year old player limit raised. If the OJHL won’t do it, then the GOJHL should. Think about the stepping stones that it can lead to for a lot of players who were drafted to the OHL from Minor Midget and more playing in a Jr sytem compared to some great Midget programs and some… not so great programs around the province.

 The rule is a great one, maybe it is titled wrong, but if they can open up the amount of 16 year olds they are allowed to register on a team, then the GOJHL takes a step further to competing with the CCHL2 which I actually find exciting… and that I will get into later.

Toronto, ON – The Canadian Hockey League today announced that Carolina Hurricanes prospect Alex Nedeljkovic of the Niagara IceDogs is the Vaughn CHL Goaltender of the Week for the playoff week ending April 10 after posting a 3-0-0-0 record with a goals-against-average of 2.40 and save percentage of .932.
