Welcome!
First off, let me welcome all fans of the Ontario Hockey League to the site. If you are reading this far, then you know what I already know: The Ontario Hockey League just might be the best brand of hockey out there today! I have been blessed in the past few years to be involved with broadcasts for the Plymouth Whalers and the Saginaw Spirit. I currently do commentary for Whalers TV, and I am looking forward to another great season in the O for 2008-2009.

There are so many questions leading into the 2008-2009 campaign, questions that will start to be answered as the season starts Wednesday Night up in Saginaw as the Knights and Spirit open up the season. The past couple of years have seen the Western Conference take control of the OHL and go on to advance to the Memorial Cup. Hopes are high around the league for many teams, but might just be at their zenith in Belleville and in Windsor. The Bulls have the outstanding Mike Murphy in net, and look to take the next step in their progression, while the Spits have a hi-octane offense led by Josh Bailey and the dynamic young phenom, Taylor Hall.

As any OHL fan can tell you, there are no guarentees in this league, and the trade deadline can always change the balance of power across the league, but If I were a betting man, I would start with Belleville in the East and Windsor in the West. So lets just sit back and enjoy what is sure to be yet another great season of hockey in the OHL and see how it plays out. I am really looking forward to sharing my thoughts with other OHL fans here, and look forward to hearing from many of you as the season progresses as we will be here all the way to the Memorial Cup!

Thanks, Sean Baligian
