He held Kingston's franchise record for goals as a rookie for 40 years (until some kid named Shane Wright came along). He still holds the record for most goals and points in a single season. He's also one of only a handful o…
The guys didn't plan it this way but there's a lot of love for the East this week, while a little concern has been noted in the West. OK, there's a little concern in the East too, but such is life in the OHL as the calendar …
He was a rookie with the Oshawa Generals Memorial Cup team in 1990 so he didn't see any ice during the playoffs but Mark Deazeley would go on later to score one of the biggest goals in Toledo hockey history and not only win …
The league loves it. Governors love it. Almost all fans love it. But is the parity we're seeing in the OHL this season something to celebrate? Dan and Mike debate what may be an unprecedented level of parity in the league. P…
The knock was always that he was too small. But from junior to the pros, Don Edwards didn't listen. He just stopped pucks. From the Kitchener Rangers in the OHL to a Vezina Trophy with the NHL's Buffalo Sabres, Edwards would…
Just your average week in junior hockey as the Memorial Cup hosts begin to assert themselves (and make some slick additions to boot), the defending OHL champs are turning heads almost one-third of the way into the season, an…
When you think of the Peterborough Petes, you might think of those 10 OHL titles and that single, lonely Memorial Cup. But you also have to think of the rich history of the team as the oldest, continuously operating team in …
Oh, those Niagara Ice Dogs. From trades that raise eyebrows to a fourth coach in little more than a year under new ownership. But wait. Maybe there's a less nefarious reason behind the trades. Mike and Dan work from a few fa…

The NHL's reversal of an ill-conceived ban on Pride Tape has shown that hockey's 2SLGBTQ+ community -- and its allies -- is more prominent than the league realized. If this is the way we have to drag hockey into the present …
It's finally going to be Sudbury's year! I mean, it has to be, doesn't it? Plus, the most surprising team so far this season (it's probably the team you think it is), why a team's schedule is under-appreciated, the rule the …

The regular season hasn't even started but one of the best in the junior hockey business is already out with a preliminary list of the top NHL draft eligible players we'll be watching this season. Mike and Dan discuss bob Mc…
