As the 20-game regular season in the Eastern Ontario Super Hockey League (EOSHL) nears an end, the North Dundas Senior Rockets have positioned themselves as the top team in the league. The Rockets have had a stellar year remaining unbeaten in 16 straight and possibly going undefeated, which has never happened for a team in the league’s 5 year history. “It hasn’t been a cakewalk” stated Rockets head coach Rob Sadler. “We narrowly won in overtime against a much improved Glengarry Pipers team and there have been a few one goal wins this year… the league as a whole is getting better and better”.
The EOSHL playoffs will start on Feb 15th and will have a different format this year. Playoffs will consist of 4 rounds with the first consisting of the best of 3 games and the remaining series the best of 5 games. A superb regular season record is vitally important to the Rockets as home ice advantage is preferred. The question is, “North Dundas, are you going to the game?”
