hahahahahahah another one leaves,soon it will be all tier 2 players playing colege……..oh wait it is

its lame hockey have you seen a game yet.college hockey is youth hockey at 20 to 24 years of age

Canada must be hurting for players being they are going after so many USA boys….we must not be too bad at hockey if they are always crossing the border!!! It is funny how Canada has such pride in there sport and it is hockey or nothing up there. They trash USA hockey but then again they are always going after our boys! lol Who’s laughing now! Nothing like going for that 1% group trying to play in the NHL, whatever and good luck!

ironflexgym you have no idea what ur talking about. most of the top players play in the chl. he is going there to develop and get noticed.

O is the quickest way to the show bud. figure it out

The boys born in Michigan ive noticed seem to want to play real hockey, in your face hockey like the OHL its something ive been told by almost every Michigan born player ive talked to if the ohl calls on them they all seem to want to play that style, if their college money is covered.

We have built the strongest league with the exception of the NHL in the world,so hurting i would say NOT……………. EY

Pretty sad that a few OHL fans feel they have to trash talk NCAA hockey as much as possible. I mean, if your league is that much better, why do you have to assert yourselves so much? It’s not like this blog exists to bash the major junior leagues, but instead has occasionally presented rational arguments about both routes, backed up by logic and facts. Nevertheless, the minute there is a defection to report you guys are on here crowing about it – very mature.

I agree… I think it’s sad and pathetic that these OHL fans come on here every time someone leaves for major junior and bash NCAA hockey. Both the OHL and the NCAA are great options for hockey players looking to go to the NHL. Some players will benefit more from the NCAA, others from the OHL or the other major junior leagues. And maybe some aren’t looking for the fastest route to the NHL, they are looking to get there at any means and if that takes some time then so be it. And you people like “ohcanada” coming on here just to bash NCAA hockey is a douche move. Seriously, it’s time to grow up and accept that there are good players in many different leagues that have the tools to make it to the big show and how fast they get there should make no difference.

Lets be honest, its a two way street. The blogger here takes shots at the OHL and the “its the best route to the NHL” theory all the time. OHL fans take shots at him, its how this site works. To ignore both sides of it is somewhat ignorant.

This blog hammers the OHL on a consistant bassis,so dont go there guys

It is a two way street, he hammers the CHL, CHL fans come back to hammer him, its how this blog has worked for a while. As I said previously, to act like either side of the argument is somewhat ignorant.

to act like either side of the argument does not exist* sorry
