The 2021-2022 season has presented many challenges for all of us. Everywhere from USA/Canada border requirements, to travel issues, to supply and delivery problems. These are only a few of the Covid-world problems we dealt with. On a positive note it was great to get back to playing hockey and doing what we love. In the OHL the schedule was revised to help with travel and scheduling. It certainly revived some old rivalries.
While we all had our challenges everyone seemed to definitely wok together to make things work and complete a full season. Our season was extended until April 17th due to some cancellations and rescheduling. The OHL champion will compete at the 2022 Memorial Cup presented by Kia that takes place from Monday, June 20 through Wednesday, June 29 in Saint John, NB.
Thanks for everyone’s hard work and cooperation this season! Stay well! Good luck to all in playoffs!
