After watching both opening games live:
Stoney Creek looks to be strongest team all around. Good goaltending. Good positional play. Roll their lines well. Likely my pick.
Innisfail plays physical game. Most hitting we have seen all year in Ontario. But like previous Alberta teams they lack top-end talent. Bentley would win on heart. I can say, imo, Innisfail has the heart for sure. But I feel will fall short.
Newfoundland struggled positionally and on special teams. Had tough time setting up on PP. But same as Innisfail, those guys want to win.
Last, host Dundas. Have the best high end talent (as they always do). Issue is icing a full team with the better players coming out. MVP Goalie Mike Mole out for year as is his backup Davies. Missing Mackenzie Wood is huge. Chris Campoli, Brad Bonello, Darren Haydar, etc and the supporting cast need to play perfect games if they want to advance. Hearing Campoli may not play next 2 games. As mentioned this years MVP Wood is stuck in the States. And Haydar has only played a handful of games this year.
My pick is Stoney

Let’s remember 2 of those teams haven’t played in over a month. Regardless of what team it is, .”top end talent” doesnt guarantee anything. I think it’s obvious all teams want to win. Lastly, it’s hockey, anything can happen, you saw that last night a comeback almost come to fruition in a 6 minute span.

Yep, agree, anything can happen. Looking forward to tonight. McCoys haven't played a team that hits like Innisfail since....well...last year when they played Innisfail LOL
Ontario ACH needs to find a way to increase intensity during the season.
If all games were like last night, or even close, crowds would return in droves. Non-contact hockey just doesn't sell
Should be a good one tonight
