FOHL Insider #1

December's Players of the Month brought to you by SkipTheDishes, official partner of the FOHL Player of the Month - Tye Felhaber (Ottawa 67's) On a team chock full of All-Stars, Felhaber has settled in nicely during his overager season. He's still searching for an NHL team to take a chance on him with a professional contract, and the 67 points in 40 games that the forward has produced certainly should be catching scouts eyes. He's also an incredible +53 on the campaign, basically whenever he steps on the ice he's scoring and the other team isn't. Goalie of the Month - Kyle Keyser (Oshawa Generals) His second time earning goaltender of the month honors, Keyser has the distinction of being the only goaltender to be named to this list and also be relegated to back up duties. He had been leading the league in goaltender statistics, but the Generals went out and upgraded with UPL from the North Bay Battalion. In his final season in the FOHL, time will ...

Along the shore the cloud waves break, The twin suns sink behind the lake, The shadows lengthen In Carcosa. There lies a theory that the universe in which we inhabit is merely one of an infinite number of realities. A coalescence of space, time, matter, information and energy all mixed into one endless possibility. If the physical laws of universe remain constant, then we could experience existence through different plains of time without knowing when we exit or enter a new part of the multiverse. How does quantum theory apply to the FOHL, you might be asking? Two words. The Hamilton Bulldogs. Okay three words. On Friday, they finalized a blockbuster deal to acquire power forward Quinton Byfield. He's a strong candidate to be the 1st or 2nd overall pick in the NHL draft a season and a half from now. It's Hamilton's second true blockbuster trade, and where we might have experienced a rip in the space time continuum. If there was a Family Feud style consensus who th...

With weeks left until Christmas morning where families will be unwrapping presents under the tree, OHL scouts are mere months away from the OHL draft where they will be unboxing their newest stars under the bright lights of the draft floor. There's been something of a debate who should go #1 overall, and as of December, that debate has all but been settled. The OHL is expected to grant Shane Wright exceptional status to play as a 15 year old, and that makes him a clear cut favorite right now. There's been arguments in other players' favors, but right now, if I'm drafting first overall, I know who I'm taking. The dust has settled a little bit and we're halfway through the regular season, so what was once just a shot in the dark for rankings and mock drafting is becoming more of a science. Without further interruption, let's get right to it. 20th. Ethan Del Mastro (D) The Generals have gone all in this season, and the honey pot will be ...

The Oxford dictionary doesn't have an entry for bad idea, but separately defines bad as "unpleasant, full of problems", and idea as a "plan, or a thought". The Oxford dictionary doesn't have an entry for the Sudbury Wolves, but they'll soon become synonymous with an unpleasant plan full of problems. There have been some spectacularly bad ideas in history by people smarter than Wolves GM Don Di Clemente. America's favorite asshole inventor, Thomas Edison burned off his fingerprints trying to prove the existence of, and subsequently capture ghosts when apparently a simple phone call to a rag-tag team of busters would have sufficed. Serbian genius Nikola Tesla spent decades trying to invent an earthquake machine, because if there's one thing the world doesn't have enough of, it's earthquakes. And noted high-brow beverage maker Mountain Dew took the biggest tumble when they had the good sense to let the internet-that collective of ha...
