We have reached the midway point of both the OMJHL regular season schedule and this pool. I just want to take this time to once again thank everybody for their involvement in the pool this year and wish all teams the best of luck in the seasons second half (and Deer and Billy... feel free to drop a couple of your better producing players... if anything, to encourage more parity amoungst the lower echelon teams in your division )
I'm also writing this message to give all of you the opportunity to speak up. Is there anything about the pool as it stands this year that you may like to see changed in furture years? For example, two aspects that I'm looking at changing next season are giving no additional points to goalies for OT and SO losses and instead giving three points for a shutout. Another aspect I may tinker with is the number of roster moves allowed - I may bump that up from five next season. Of course, if there is too much negative feedback on these changes, I'll leave things as they are.
I should also point out that if the Acadie.net pool ever comes back after this season, I will be discontinuing this pool. I don't think I even have to explain why... there are a number of reasons.
I've also kicked around the idea of extending this pool into the playoffs. I'm not quite sure how that would work... I'm guessing it would involve another draft... or perhaps giving each team a set protected list of X number of players, then a supplemental draft after that. At any rate, let me know if there is any interest out there and I'd be more than happy to continue this pool into the post season.
Anyway, that's about all I have to say for now. Happy holidays to everyone and I'll be back with updates in the new year.
