The OHL: Bigger budgets, better arenas, be ready. Or another market will be.
from The OHL Podcast · host Mike Farwell
If you like the small-town feel of junior hockey and the "charm" of some of those older, character-filled arenas, it's time to brace for a new reality. The OHL is asking current markets to step up, or other markets will be happy to take on a franchise. Also this week, the GOJHL becomes the OHL's first official development league and the ongoing recruitment war between the CHL and the NCAA gets a little petty. Plus, as the OHL regular season looms, the guys have a preview of the Western Conference, complete with predictions. You'll laugh! You'll cry! You'll be chirping these guys until Christmas...
