Icedogs ranked # 2 in the OHL

[ltb]

According to the Hockey News Magazine edition for Sept. 18/07, the Niagara Icedogs are ranked # 2 after the London Knights. I can't wait to see how this plays out, but I can't help but feel extremely lucky at the opportunity to watch this caliber of a team in this caliber of a league right out of the gate! ;D

1.London
2.Niagara
3.Sarnia
4.Oshawa
5.Kitchener
6.Soo
7.Brampton
8.Belleville
9.Ottawa
10.Plymouth
11.Guelph
12.Windsor
13.Barrie
14.Peterborough
15.Erie
16.Kingston
17.Saginaw
18.Mississauga
19.Owen Sound
20.Sudbury

On another note: What if the Icedogs for next year, held some exhibition games in the Falls and Welland maybe Fort Erie (they have a beautiful arena) and tried to show the people that you can still love your hometown teams, but come out and support your own regional team. After all, it is about bragging rights throughout the rest of the province.... instead of the region!!

I said that earlier as well, but I understand that this year they would want the staff at the Jack to get used to things, being the first year.

London will slip if either Kane or Gagner aren't returned to them.

My money is on Oshawa to win the league, but looking at the numbers of all the guys that are returning Niagara is right there.

I'll bet Mississauga finishes ahead of Plymouth.

This is a great Idea!

That would be neat to see the Icedogs in the Fort Erie arena for an exhibition game. As you say, its one of the best around with regulation OHL size ice, generous parking and comfortable seating. I've never seen that place near being full.
