OHL Alumni Central
Find Out Where Your Favourite OHL Grads Are Playing

Jul 4
The blogosphere, and the world wide web in general, is packed with great hockey sites. A great number of these sites are local and run by individuals who simply love the game. The quality and content is as good, if not better, than the mainstream press but these sites are hidden among the masses, waiting patiently to be heard (kind of like OHL Alumni Central…).
Starting now and coming every Sunday from this point forward, OHL Alumni Central will feature a list of five great hockey blogs / websites that provide a great read and a great alternative to the TSN’s and ESPN’s and NHL.com’s, etc.
SSSFS Top 5 for this week (in no particular order):
- EuroHockey.net . EuroHockey is a great site for finding out what’s going on in the European hockey scene. The site is maintained by a group of volunteers and is a shadow of what it could be as some areas have fallen by the wayside. However, to keep up on European hockey transfers (which often involve OHL grads), this is the site and because of that has been a great resource for OHL Alumni Central. Gerry Cantlon, radio man and AHL expert seems to be the top, if only, active contributor at the moment.
- Cards On Ice . This is a great blog on the world of collectible hockey cards. But wait, that’s not all. This is a good site with regular posts about hockey in general.
- Kuklas Korner . Kuklas Korner is a great collaborative effort to provide hockey fans with the latest news ‘around the clock’.
- Maple Stir-up . I’ve been a Leafs hater since the 2004-05 lock-out season because I pretty much blame the team’s ownership’s greed for the lock-out. However, it’s great to find someone who is a diehard Leaf fan who is based in reality. There will be no Kaberle for Crosby and Malkin trade suggestions on this site. MSU simply does some great work and the site is a great read even for those who can’t stand the team.
- OHL Arena & Travel Guide . Any OHL fan that hasn’t visited Kevin Jordan’s site has been seriously been missing out. Kevin puts together a great database of current and former Ontario Hockey League arenas as well as other information about the league. You can also submit your name for Kevin’s ‘I’ve Done All 20′ page if you have been to all 20 current OHL arenas.
