Just to clarify on the Soo Eagles having their NOJHL franchise for sale now that they are moving to the NAHL:

I just spoke with a representative of the Eagles in Michigan and he tells me that while a sale of the NOJHL franchise is being contemplated and worked on, the Eagles have no say in where the franchise will end up if it is indeed sold.

As a matter of fact, Traverse City is in the market for a new junior team now that its NAHL franchise has been sold.

Congratulating Ryan Leonard and the Eliott Lake Bobcats on coming home where they belong in the NOJHL.. There can be no doubt that Young Ryan will surround his self with good hockey people such as himself with Todd Stensill and Young Chad Vresk and Master Scout Charly Murray. This is a breath of fresh air for the NOJHL and I sure this will mean a great rivalry with The good people of Blind River and the Soo.!!! This is a great day for Junior Hckey in the North.

John Trencherd had the right score but the wrong team winning and ... Gorsuch out-played Milosek not the other way around.

GO WARRIORS GO!!

FYI,

Soo Greyhounds have selected right winger RYAN MANTHA from Detroit Belle Tire AAA midgets in the fifth round of today's Ontario Hockey League Draft. Ryan is the younger brother of Michigan Warriors forward Robert Mantha and the nephew of Warriors coach Moe Mantha.
