09-10 Canadian Junior Discussion (WHL, OHL, and QMJHL)

Really? All the teams? That's such a great thing. Living in the US, we're pretty detached from junior hockey, so I had never heard of it. I'm kind of surprised nobody has jumped on it.

I know for sure every WHL team does it. And they have for a large number of years.

And although not mentioned Vancouver ,Chilliwack, and Edmonton also have gargantuan toss nights. Bigger the city, bigger the toss.

I think that's just great! Are you saying, batdad, that that's already a tradition in CHL? Never heard of it! It's so great when people do such things. Pure awesome!

EDIT: Thanks for the link!

Yes..yes it is. It has become a huge tradition. People who never go to games try and get tix to Teddy Bear Toss night.

Anybody tell me why the Barrie Colts are so good? I noticed they have won their last 18 games. Pretty impressive streak. Any huge stars in their roster?

So what's the opinion on the Kassian hit?

For those who haven't seen it
Kassian hit on Kennedy

Headhunting. He deserves a suspension, but nowhere as long as Liambas

Anybody see Steve Downie in Matt Kassian? Don't like Downie. Don't like Kassian.

London Knights are my favourites to win the memorial cup. They can really creep up on you.

I don't even think they'll make the OHL finals

I think they will, just need to get by windsor. Which i guess is easier said then done.

And watch out for the Whalers. Hackett is a top goalie and could steal the series

This elbow by Patrice Cormier was disgusting. Tam (the guy he took out) was convulsing on the ice and even stopped breathing for about 30 seconds.

Cormiers getting himself a bad name... I didn't like him at the Juniors when he did the same thing to Rodin...

Franck · Post by **Franck** » Mon Jan 18, 2010 3:34 pm

Cormier should go to prison for that hit. The other guy is lucky to still be alive.

Post by **batdad** » Mon Jan 18, 2010 5:28 pm

Cormier sucks

This is really disgusting yes. I really didn't enjoy watch this on TV this morning. It's really a dirty hit and that sucks bad, the police will investigate, maybe there will be accusation. Now i'm just curious to see what the QMJHL will do. They never really give big suspension just like th NHL, it's a big joke. Cormier should be suspended for the entire season and the playoffs, just like the idiot who almost decapitated a guy in the OHL. But the QMJHL is really soft sometimes and i wouldn't be surprise to see something like 15 games.....

Post by **Danny** » Mon Jan 18, 2010 8:48 pm

That's not even a hockey play anymore, it's an assault. Pretty disgusting, repeat offender, kick him out of hockey. Funny how they always talk about how big a problem intentional headshots are but then never do anything against it. And no, a 20 game suspension is nothing in this case. That ****head needs to sit at least for one full season.

DJP19 · Post by **DJP19** » Mon Jan 18, 2010 10:40 pm

The hit in the OHL by Liambas wasn't even that bad. this was horrible. He should be suspended for the rest of the season. Maybe playoffs, but the QMJHL wont want to loose a popular player.

Post by **philou21** » Mon Jan 18, 2010 10:40 pm

For now Cormier as been suspended indefinitely........until the QMJHL make a decision, i hope it doesn't mean it's gonna take 1 week to give a verdict.

EDIT : To DJP19, Cormier is not THAT popular in the QMJHL, he is a good or maybe was a good player but he isn't a star in this league. This hit was more disgusting than the one in the OHL?? I'm sorry but the other guy in the OHL as almost died and good multiples fractures at the head. Tam is ok at the hospital, he loss a couple of theeths and got a commotion but nothing as bad as the guy in the OHL.

Post by **Danny** » Mon Jan 18, 2010 10:55 pm

He's feeling well given the circumstances. He has a traumatic brain injury, he almost died tonight. Several scans were made to make sure he didn't have anything major to his brain. Good news is that he's got no oedema (accumulation of water in his brain). The shock was so big that the diagnostic places him between a severe concussion and a brain death. He'll stay under observation at the Rouyn Noranda hospital for 48 hours

That sounds bad enough to me to compare it with the other guy...

The medias says he is alright now, i still think the other guy is more injured than him. The hit from Cormier was dirtyer, but make less sequel for sure.

Well Cormier was Captain for Team Canada, so he must be somewhat good and known. The hit in OHL was because he turned and Liambas didn't slow down. I am not saying he didn't deserve the ban from the OHL, but the hit itself wasnt so bad. It was the repercussions that caused everyone to think it was such an ugly hit.

Post by **philou21** » Mon Jan 18, 2010 11:06 pm

Been captain doesn't mean your a popular one, i'm pretty sure before he make team Canada, a fan of the OHL or the WHL have never heard of him, but after this hit, i can tell you he is no more ''popular'' or love by some fans, we all wanted a big suspensions and we all wait impatiently for a verdict. Oh and yes i agree, like i said in my other post, the hit from Cormier was dirtyer than the other, it's just the consequences who are worst.
