OHL Facing Tough Decisions With American-Based Teams

OHL Facing Tough Decisions With American-Based Teams

October 24th, 2020 The Ontario Hockey League has trouble brewing when it comes to the 2020-21 season and the American teams are making everything even more difficult. The OHL features three American teams; the Erie Otters, the Flint Firebirds, and the Saginaw Spirit. Those three teams are causing the OHL some grief. What Makes This a Big...
Needing Home Cookin': Spitfires Weekend Road Woes

Needing Home Cookin': Spitfires Weekend Road Woes

October 23rd, 2018 What started as a promising weekend for the Windsor Spitfires turned into a head-scratcher as they hit the road. After their long Eastern road trip last weekend, the Spitfires needed some positives. The results were mixed. The team played at home on Thursday night against the Barrie Colts before finishing on the road against the...
Russian Connection Working for Erie Otters

Russian Connection Working for Erie Otters

February 8th, 2018 A Russian, American, and Canadian all walk into an ice rink…and begin to speak Russian with each other. It may sound like the preface to a bad bar joke, but this is actually merely a routine scenario for Gera Poddubnyi, Ivan Lodnia and Maxim Golod of the Erie Otters. Gera Poddubnyi Gera Poddubnyi was born in the closed town of...
Post-OHL Trade Deadline: New Otters

Post-OHL Trade Deadline: New Otters

January 12th, 2018 With the OHL trade deadline officially passed, the Erie Otters (and their fans) can get settled in for a less-volatile second half of the season. The Otters have made their moves and solidified their roster with a couple of key trades -- most notably, the trade with the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds involving Taylor Raddysh and Jordan...
Troy Timpano: Testament to Hockey's Lifelong Connections

Troy Timpano: Testament to Hockey's Lifelong Connections

December 13th, 2017 Erie Otters’ goaltender Troy Timpano was acquired in a trade with the Sudbury Wolves following their disappointing 16-win 2015-16 season. Timpano was drafted by Sudbury and played three seasons with the Wolves before he would eventually end up bolstering Erie’s 2017-18 OHL Championship team in net. The overage goaltender still...
Otters' Road Woes Raise Questions

Otters' Road Woes Raise Questions

November 17th, 2017 The Erie Otters have had some near-inexplicable trouble on the road this season. They are 7-3-1-0 at home, yet have only won a single road game this year—their very first game of the season in Peterborough. Losing nine straight away games is generally attributable to more than merely the advantage of home ice. Road Struggles The last...
Erie Otters Redefining the Language Barrier

Erie Otters Redefining the Language Barrier

November 1st, 2017 The Erie Otters of the OHL have had some barriers to overcome recently, losing much of their high-scoring star power from seasons past, but the language barrier has not been one of them. This is thanks in part to Otters rookie Maxim Golod, who is excelling in his multifaceted role with the team. He has already notched nine points in 12...
Erie Otters Finding Their Stride

Erie Otters Finding Their Stride

October 17th, 2017 The Erie Otters have now played ten games in the 2017-18 season. We have a far clearer picture of how this team is shaping up, but there’s still a lot of unknowns to look forward to in the coming weeks and months. Much of the Otters’ success will have to come from the successful integration of key new pieces, coupled with the...
Erie Otters Coping with Dynamism of OHL

Erie Otters Coping with Dynamism of OHL

September 14th, 2017 The Ontario Hockey League is far from stagnant, something the reigning league champions, the Erie Otters, are acutely aware of. There are management obstacles that arise in the Canadian Hockey League that simply do not exist at the top level of professional hockey due to a myriad of factors that characterize the OHL as the premiere...
6 Erie Otters Shooting for the NHL

6 Erie Otters Shooting for the NHL

September 9th, 2017 Six Erie Otters are set to test the NHL waters this week as they prepare for rookie camps. Depending on their ability to turn the important heads at camp, perhaps some may be able to score more than just on-ice goals and reach their ultimate goal of scoring an NHL contract. More than likely, though, this will just serve as one of many...
Otters' Camp Points to 'Win-Now' Mentality

Otters' Camp Points to 'Win-Now' Mentality

September 1st, 2017 The Erie Otters are officially back on the ice -- we are through training camp with exhibition games scheduled against Peterborough, Flint and Kitchener this weekend (Sept. 1 to Sept. 3). This season will be a test of the management of the organization as well as the grit of remaining players. Fifteen players from the Otters'...
The Hockey Fans Guide to the Offseason Desert: Erie Otters Edition

The Hockey Fans Guide to the Offseason Desert: Erie Otters Edition

July 30th, 2017 Every hockey team, no matter the league, is always in some state of perpetual flux from season to season. For fans, the offseason seems like the inevitable desert that one must trudge through during the summer months until October finally rolls around and we can jubilantly rejoice in the annual season’s greeting of “Hockey is...
Best Erie Otters in Franchise History

Best Erie Otters in Franchise History

July 17th, 2017 In an Ontario Hockey League traditionally dominated by the London Knights, the Erie Otters have been graced with some very exceptional players that have allowed the club to hold their own in the League. In conjunction with the Otters season ticket holders I interviewed and my subjective opinion, here is my list of the top five players to...
Erie Otters' Kyle Pettit Ready for Next Level

Erie Otters' Kyle Pettit Ready for Next Level

July 4th, 2017 Erie Otters over-ager captain Kyle Pettit is ready to take the next step. After five seasons in the Ontario Hockey League, Pettit will move on. Where will he play when October hits isn't certain yet, but a recent invitation to an NHL development camp with the New York Rangers may provide a hint. Pettit Drafted by Canucks in...
Which NHL Team Could Land Darren Raddysh?

Which NHL Team Could Land Darren Raddysh?

June 11th, 2017 Darren Raddysh was recently named the Ontario Hockey League's Defenseman of the Year; not a bad way to end a five-year junior career. The honor capped off a season where the Erie Otters' defender and assistant captain, and his team, were a successful 50-15-2-1 in the regular season, captured the league championship and made it to the...
