Sapurji: A Legein Hall Meeting...

Former Niagara IceDogs forward Stefan Legein is expecting to meet with Columbus Blue Jackets management on January 5th, according to the Columbus Dispatch.
Sapurji: OHL Notes and Stuff...

It's that time of the year again, when trade rumours are swirling around, much like post-Christmas garbage in the downtown core. I'm sure I'll have more news as the deadline approaches (I'll be less cryptic too!).
Sapurji: Prettiest goal of '08?

I had hoped that some kind soul would have put the goal Majors captain Jesse Messier scored against Kitchener yesterday on YouTube, but no one has.
Happy Holidays...

Just wanted to wish Loosepucks readers -- all 5 of you -- a very safe and happy holiday! Only one more day before the World Junior Championship begins!
Sapurji: Kaspars' X-Mas Surprise...

The Mississauga St. Michael's Majors have announced the return of Latvian sniper Kaspars Daugavins to the team.
Sapurji: Panik on the streets of Windsor?

My apologies to The Smiths, but it was either that or some lame Panik at the Disco! reference. I'm a little panicked myself right now -- surrounded by boxes and assemblers as my library is finally going up today. So scared.

Sapurji: "Not good news" for Cuma

It's not looking good for Ottawa 67's defenceman Tyler Cuma who suffered a knee injury during tonight's Team Canada intrasquad game.
Sapurji: Thieves Pooch IceDogs' Beer

You know times are getting really tough when people start stealing kegs of beer from OHL franchises.
Sapurji: From Billet to Bigs...

Last week I had the chance to interview Saginaw Spirit goalie Edward Pasquale for the OHL notebook.
Sapurji: Tavares all the time

I've been blog-negligent lately, since I've been left to tackle a home design project by myself because the Mets fan is currently sitting by a pool in sunny FLA. I'm not bitter, only because I haven't started painting yet. Ok. I am very, very bitter.
Sapurji: Attack-Whalers set makeup date

The OHL announced today announced that the Plymouth Whalers and Owen Sound Attack have set a date to play their postponed game from last month.
