  • Ohio State vs Western Ontario 9/28

    This is obviously an exhibition game. I will fess up and tell you the main reason I started this thread for an exhibition game was to invite those of you who will be attending the football game vs Cincinnati to our tailgate. I will copy and paste the information here (originally posted by OSUmab over in the Men's Division I forum). The football game vs Cincinnati does not start until 6:00 pm. If you are going to the game or are going to be in the area, stop by The Scarlet Liners tailgate to say hello and enjoy some food! If you are going to come by, please go into the event (linked below) so we will know how much food to bring!

    The Scarlet Liners will be hosting a tailgate party the UC Game. Please join us we look the food, drinks, and fun as we spread word of The Scarlet Liners and OSU Men's & Women's Hockey to the football world!

    Follow this link!

    FYI, (if it's the school I think it is) it's called UWO, University of Western Ontario, or just Western....and you guys should handle them very easily. They're not a very good hockey team.

      Probably better than Toronto Aeros though ... and they'll be coming off a win against Penn State 2 days earlier.

        They played a preseason exhibition against BC last year. Not a great game, BC scored in the first 17 seconds and again on the empty net and should have made it safe a lot earlier. Very physical game.

            Western has traditionally been one of the weaker teams in the CIS, although somewhat improved recently. OSU should win easily.

            Most of the better PWHL teams (e.g. Mississauga, Aeros, Whitby, Durham, Stoney Creek) will typically beat CIS teams like Western since most of the top PWHL players from these teams end up being recruited to D1 teams rather than staying back home and playing CIS university hockey.

            Western's roster this year is being bolstered by 3 players returned from D1 ranks, which should help their competitiveness some. Kendra Broad (3 yrs at Lindenwood) is now attending Western grad school and has 2 years of eligibility remaining, as CIS provides 5 years of athletic eligibility. Katie Hubert (2 yrs at RIT) and Emma Pearson (1 yr at Brown) opted to return to Canada early. Pearson had to redshirt at Western last season under the old transfer rule. Hubert benefitted from the 2014 rule change--undergrads transferring to CIS no longer have to sit a year before being eligible to play.

              OSU is way more talented and should win because they will remember the loss last year to Aeros. I doubt they let that happen again.

                  Seymore, that is correct, it's UWO. UWO is located in London, if I am not mistaken.

                    Definitely in London. Would support the view that Western should really struggle to stay with OSU.

                      Actually, I believe they made a formal name change a couple of years ago from University of Western Ontario, to simply Western University. (Although the website acronym was not changed from uwo.ca)

                        Having seen all of the teams in question play, Western will compete with Penn State and will struggle against OSU. My predictions are Western 4-3 OT winners against Penn State and 6-1 losers against OSU.
                        ...and whadaya know, it's another freshman...

                          Interesting....could be true, but I've never heard this and I used to live in London and area for decades and have friends with kids going to UWO. If it has changed its name....I don't like it.

                              I see the name western university I'm looking in BColumbia or the prairies for a location. I always wondered if some people in Ontario believe they are Canada and the rest is the hinterlands. I agree yuk and huh!
