If you had to guess how long it's been since the OHL was without a 100-point scorer, how long would you guess it's been? The answer will likely surprise you, almost as much as you might be surprised that the OHL might not have a 100-point scorer this year. Farwell and Dan have a few theories, they also think the eight playoff teams in the West might already be set, and the weekly Wraparound looks at how tough it is to play in the OHL ... except for the Barrie Colts, who seem to have things mastered in Flint.

It's been a little more than two weeks since the OHL's trade deadlines and teams who jumped into the pool are already reaping rewards. It sets up an interesting and competitive final 8 weeks in both conferences. Farwell and Dan are also wondering where all those NCAA returnees ended up (we were told they were coming back, weren't we?) and at least one of the guys is wishing Hamilton well as hockey returns to the Steel City ... again. And your usual look at every OHL market and your Prospect of the Week is here, too.

The OHL is playing some inter-league games with the QMJHL and the winning teams earn points in the standings of their respective leagues. The intention is obvious, but what Farwell and Dan hope the OHL learns is that its fans are hungry to see new match-ups. Fortunately, the guys have already worked out a plan to allow the league to provide that very thing. A slight tweak to the OHL schedule and fans will have the fresh match-ups they crave. Also, with the trade deadline now in the rearview mirror, Farwell and Dan go to the Inbox to discuss the idea of trading first round picks. And, as always, your weekly Wraparound is here with a look at every market, even Niagara ... who got temporarily ignored. And, of course, that green Sudbury Wolves hat continues to make its rounds.

The most exciting time of the year in the OHL did not disappoint as there were swaps aplenty after the Christmas trade freeze lifted. Farwell and Dan have a full breakdown, and like you, they're mildly surprised at the number of teams in the mix. It will take another three months to determine which teams were the real contenders and which turned out to be pretenders, but there are at least eight highly energized fan bases right now. Plus, the weekly Wraparound gives you a glimpse at every market, and the green Sudbury Wolves hat given away at a recent game continues to make its way around the league.

The guys are back from the Christmas break just in time to start breaking down a flurry of trades, and the deals have only just begun with the deadline still 72 hours away. The question is, how many teams in the Western Conference think they can win this year? Dan and Farwell break down what we know so far, what they think might happen, and make a promise to explain everything next week. Plus, the sudden passing of former Commissioner David Branch sends shockwaves around the hockey world. And Farwell has a fancy new hat that's going to put on some miles before it arrives at its final destination.

We've arrived at the midway mark of the OHL season, and the Ottawa 67's sit atop the standing. No one, and we mean NO ONE saw that coming. Farwell and Dan look at surprises and concerns from the first half, they take a Wraparound straight from the Inbox, and they pay tribute to the "glue guys" (and gals) around this league. Plus, you won't want to miss the first appearance of Danta Claus (TM).

It's the most wonderful time of the year to be an OHL fan! Unless you're worried about seeing a player you love traded to another team. But if you're hoping your team enters the trade market and strengthens the line-up for the second half, this is the time of year for you. Farwell and Dan look at the teams setting the pace and others that are expected to join the mix. Who might go where is anybody's guess, but this is the season for putting things on your wish list. Plus, we had a little chat with the CHL following last week's episode and we'll give you an update on that. Also, if you're cheering for Team Canada at the World Juniors this Christmas, you have to like your chances, don't you?

The weekly Wraparound is here with a look at every OHL market, you'll hear our picks for Prospect of the Week, and the league's new VP of Hockey Operations joins the show for a chat. The only place you can get all of that is here, so tell a friend!

There was a clear conflict of interest on the Memorial Cup selection committee. Some argue there was even more than one conflict on the committee. And while the fans argue about sour grapes or undeserving hosts, Dan and Mike are trying to tell the real story. Guelph prepared a great bid and deserves every one of the perks that come with hosting the Memorial Cup. But we can't lose sight of the problem that's been unearthed here by some excellent reporting, and that's the problem Dan and Mike are focusing on. In the midst of it all, the Brantford Bulldogs have found a forever home and Max McCue is on the move ... again. Plus, your weekly Wraparound is paying attention to every market and a veteran referee gets a fitting send-off.

James Boyd has basically done it all. He's played in the OHL, coached, been a general manager, and now he's the league's new Vice-President of Hockey Operations. In this feature interview, we talk to Boyd about what led him to this role, what it will take for the OHL to remain competitive in the new junior hockey landscape, and what a healthy league looks like to him. As a guy who used to complain to the league office, he may already have developed a new appreciation for what it's like on the other side of those phone calls.

Sarnia's new coach gets his first win in fine fashion, while a hometown player flees the Petes to try his luck in the Soo. Meantime, Farwell and Dan are pulling no punches in building the case for a second part to the Jett Luchanko trade, but they keep hitting road blocks along the way. Learn a little more about your favourite team in the weekly Wraparound, find out why the guys have different perspectives on a recent video review fail, and a listener email prompts the question, 'why can't the Central Division seem to win an OHL championship?'
