This weekend was all about the OHL wrapping up their regular season as they warm up for playoff time. I host a hockey sports show all about it on RogersTV, called Sportszone Live.
The Brampton Battalion and their Peel Regions rivals - the Mississauga St. Michael's Majors, had a double header this weekend going toe-to-toe. The Majors beat the Troops Friday night for the 1st time in 7 contests. But Sunday the Battalion put the Majors back to where they belong and dominated once again. The Battalion hail hockey phenoms Cody Hodgson (leading point scorer in World Juniors Nationals, bringing home the 5th Consecutive Canadian Gold Medal) Matt Duchene (won 4 international Gold Medals, a true stick-wizard and eligible for 2010 NHL Draft) and Evgeny Grachev (leading point scorer in the OHL, drafted to New York Rangers, played for Team Russia in the Nationals 2008)
After the game yesterday I was able to catch up with Grachie and Matt Duchene for a quick rundown on their career winning years, the playoffs and what it will take for them to be regular NHL'ers.
I will be posting the interview when it's avail.
