NYK VS West Seneca
SYB vs Collingwood
NYK vs North Bay
!!!! GAMES COMING UP! JAN 19 !!!!!!
NT -2.5 TO BEAT EE O/U 7 - NT wants to redeem themselves after aa poor outing against MI, EE are on a bit of roll and want to continue it and play spoilers.
MI +1.5 TO BEAT SIR O/U 5.5- MI looks like they are getting back to SS form - SIR is just blue collar hard working team, no easy games against SIR
!!!!UP COMING GAMES ODDS JAN 20!!!!
NT -2.5 TO BEAT NYK 0/U 6.5 - Big ice at the Herb. NT flying forwards should have the advantage. NYK forwards prone to gives away and no back checking gives NT the advantage.
!!!!TOMORROWS GAME ODDS!!!!!
SYB -5 TO BEAT EE O/U 7 - SYB hot off Oakville Tournament win want to prove their the beast of the East and lay claim top dog in Scarborough. EE turnaround a little premature will not be able to compete
NYK -.5 TO BEAT SIR - NYK offence has gone missing they will struggle to win against a hardworking SIR team. However I could see an upset here. NYK win be playing 5 night in a row, just like western road trip. Last game is always a dud

Watched the NT vs NYK game and it was a even game. NYK F did a good job working the puck down low, not a lot of turnovers and a few close offsides. Not sure why all the hate. NYK D seem to panic and did not look great. Especially on the PP.
Honest assessment of the game. Forwards played fine, defence looked weak with too many turnovers. Back end looks too small on this team for next season if they want to compete in the top half of the division.

Totally agree, small, slow they move backwards instead of forward,

Here you guys go again. Don Cherry's rock them sock them hockey, big and bad. Have you seen all the good AAA teams in contact D core. Fast agile and smart, not big. A good coach will take a fast agile D core even if they are small. Hockey has changed the way its played.

Yes and no - best D core is big, fast and smart. People always seem to equate big with slow and that's just not the case. It's just an easy thing to say to try and convince yourself that small is ok. There is a balance. Small and exceptionally good skater with crazy good hockey IQ is not easy to find, so people will tend towards big, very good skater who doesn't make glaring mistakes.
ohhh NYK D dad upset again. D wins games and your core does not do that. They cough the puck up way too much and are not an offensive threat. The F score all the goals. sorry for the reality check. NYK d dad, you can now get back to trashing all other D's on teams.

Depends on your definition of tall I guess.
Agree speed and mobility are increasingly valued, but you still have to be able to take and give a hit and clear the front of the net.
Average height of an OHL defenseman is 6" - 6'1" and average height of an NHL defenseman is 6'1.5"
I would reach out to all the coaches. There is always a spot if your kid is good enough even with the top teams. Also probably a lot of movement with body contact next year.
