Instead of piling in masses of stuff about OHL and OHA, first work out how you are going to format them!!! They look pretty enough tables in the wiki markup but surely you have looked at the rendered versions and thought - "that looks horrible". Normally I strongly dislike the use of HTML <pre> material in Wikipedia but here it is the easiest solution - just start each line of a table with one space - it is that easy!! See may edit to List of OHA Junior A standings. Excellent - I see you have got the message - well done. -- RHaworth 20:27, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Whitby Dunlops--Durham Huskies

When I was putting together pages for the senior hockey leagues, I saw you were working on the Whitby Dunlops. I see that you have some stats as well, the Durham Huskies played a lot of Ontario Senior.... a lot... any chance you might have some of their W-L-T records as well?

OHA History Book

I have picked up the following book. "100 Years of Dropping the Puck, A History of the OHA" by Ian Young. ISBN # 0-7710-9093-5 Flibirigit 22:19, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Never heard of it, but if you can find the Durham Huskies in there... that would be cool. What is in the book? DMighton 15:45, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

It's actually by Scott Young, the hockey writer (and Neil Young's father). BoojiBoy 15:33, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Does it include a list of Clarence Schmalz Cup Champions (OHA Jr. C)? Or OHA Cup Champions (Jr. D)? I'm also looking for the champions of each Jr. C league... can you help me? I'll even take a scan of the page in my e-mail is possible... DMighton 03:32, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

The book tell anecdotes, mostly from early OHA history, before 1961. Most stories are about people and the decision they made to shape history. There are no lists of champions, scorers etc. It will likely take me until the fall to put it on wikipedia. I will be too busy in the summer. Flibirigit 04:18, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I was just curious. It is very hard to get info out of the OHA. Even champion info. It seems like only one or two people know anything historical... and they have to be willing to share for it to be worth any time. Thank you for the answer. If you find anything interesting about any of the teams or leagues I've worked with... that would be amazing... as you know... I have every active OHA league listed and a few defunct and now at least stubs for every active Junior team... any help would be appreciated. DMighton 04:27, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

West Toronto Nationals

I looked it up in the Globe and Mail today and the West Toronto Nationals and the West Toronto Redmen were one and the same. The article concerning them winning the J. Ross Robertson Cup appeared in the March 23, 1936 edition of the Globe and the newspaper used "Nationals" and "Redmen" interchangeably to describe the team. (The paper also used "Westionals".) I've written a stub article. Thought you would like to know, given your appreciation for OHL history. Cheers, BoojiBoy 18:38, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Sault Thunderbirds

Jason, I couldn't help but notice what an incredible job you've done on the OHA/OHL entries especially. Great work. There is one thing that I'm going to leave for you to mull over. The 1959 - 1962 entry in the EPHL was actually called the Sault Thunderbirds and not the Greyhounds. Also there were Greyhound teams in the "NOHA Sr. A" league, pre-1959, that you might want to gather some history on to make your Greyhounds article more complete.

A Greyhounds Sr. team won the Allen Cup in 1924 and another came within a win of going to the championships in, I believe, 1955. You can email anytime at jwarner-smith@shaw.ca if there is anything you're having trouble finding. Also if I can find anything to add to your articles, I'll send it on.

Guelph CMC's

I added some history... interesting read I hope. Edit it if you want... check it out. DMighton 20:49, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Try to add some categories. Category:Sport in Guelph is the only one right now. Flibirigit 21:18, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Whitby Dunlops & EOSHL

I am looking for the 2004-05 EOSHL standings... any ideas? DMighton 01:19, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

I don't know where to find them. The Dunlops results are on their web site. Flibirigit 11:53, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

I can't find it anywhere right now... damn. DMighton 07:01, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Flyers and Intermediate Hockey

Already did this morning... this Jonjax is from my home area... he knows a lot and has done some AWESOME research. DMighton 03:07, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Stratford

Well, I grew up about an hour and a half North of Stratford, so I know a bit about their history. All junior teams seem to either be in the lineage of or at least predescessors of the current Jr. B powerhouse Cullitons.

Stratford Canadians ???

Stratford Braves 1962 - ?

Stratford Burtols ? - 1968

Stratford Warriors 1968 - 1975

Stratford Cullitons 1975 to Present

From what I understand, the Braves joined the Central Junior B Hockey League in 1962. They moved to the newly founded Western Junior B Hockey League in 1969. Then moved to the Waterloo-Wellington Junior B Hockey League in 1975, which turned into the Mid-Western Junior B Hockey League which they have been a part of ever since. I currently am not sure about Stratford hockey prior to 1962. Their website doesn't mention anything prior to 1975 as their sponsor changed that year... Culliton Plumbing or something. As far as I know... I might have to ask around. I know that the Culltions don't list the Canadians' Suth Cup as one of their accomplishments... what do you know about them? DMighton 06:42, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

From what I've seen... the Stratford Kist may also be known as the Stratford Kist Canadians... with Kist being a sponsor name. The Canadians were also an entry in the Michigan-Ontario Hockey League (I think that was the name). I think it is possible that Stratford might have been vacant of Jr. Hockey between the years of 1951 and 1962.... I have no confirmation of this though.... they may have dropped to Jr. C... I've noticed that a drop to Jr. C often makes people mistake a team for defunct like ALL the teams of the NOJHL (when they dropped to B in the 70s). DMighton 06:51, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

It appears that the Kist Canadians won the Sutherland Cup in 1942 and then were granted expansion to the OHA-A League. Probably took on a bigger sponsor, hence the new name. Oddly, Kroelers was based out of my hometown -- the company that is. I wouldn't be shocked if they spent 44-45 and 45-46 in the Big 10 by the way. DMighton 07:04, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

• Please look over Stratford Midgets and Stratford Kroehlers and let me know if you can think of a better way to link the teams. See also Talk:Stratford Kroehlers. All I know about Stratford Kist, is that Howie Morenz played for the team in 1941-42. Flibirigit 06:37, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

OHA Timeline

Hey, I would appreciate a little help and input here if you can give me a hand... I want to build this into something cool: User:DMighton/OHA_Timeline. Please help, you know my expertise, I need some of yours. DMighton 06:32, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Senior A

I haven't heard from you in a while, I was wondering what you think of these: OHA Senior A Hockey League and OHA Senior A Hockey League (1929-1979). Please add anything if you can, maybe something on the Dunlops? I have also traced back a lot of history on Major League Hockey and hope to vastly improve it soon. Any thoughts? DMighton 02:11, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm still here...sometimes in the summer. By the way I will be in Owen Sound this weekend, July 21, 22. I really don't know much about senior hockey.. just the Dunlops and the Allan Cup. Flibirigit 22:13, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Nice... I'll be heading to Owen Sound probably on Tuesday. DMighton 05:23, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Come on the weekend. We can have a beer. Flibirigit 21:33, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
