The Eastern Commerce family would like to thank all the teams who participated and made this one of the most competitive Holiday Classics ever. A special thanks to our host schools, Jarvis and Downsview,to our sponsors and to everyone who came out to watch.

I know that Sacred Heart is the one from Ottawa. Is Edward Mont-Petit the CGEP in Montreal?

If I were Eastern team members I would be pissed. Why are they using Pangos and Wiggins to promote their tournament??

When did Eastern start stooping to these levels? Are they trying to sell tickets or something??

this tournament will be hott!

Here are my predictions:
Pickering, Mother Teresa, Loyola, J.Clarke, Denison, Vaughan, Eastern, Henry Carr All win there first round games. This would make the second round matchups for the championship side:

Denison vs J Clarke = J Clarke win
Pickering vs Carr = Carr win
Eastern vs Loyola = Eastern win
MT vs Vaughan = MT win (Yeah I'm calling an MT win)

Semis would be:

J Clarke vs Eastern = J Clarke win
MT vs Carr = MT win

And then in finals I have J Clarke over MT.
That would be my take on things I already know some of you guys will disagree, what are your thoughts?

I don't see anything wrong with the promotion for this tournament. You promote big name players and both Wiggins and Pangos are well deserving of the honour. Instead of promoting all of the key teams (and there are many) you promote individual players. Pangos will be going to Gonzaga and Wiggins will be going pretty much anywhere he wants when his time is due. No disrespect to Eastern Commerce but they don't have the big name attractions of previous years. They are a very well rounded team and could very well win this tournament.
Predictions:
J Clarke over Denison
Pickering over Carr
Eastern over Loyola
Vaughn over D'Youville

Eastern over J Clarke
D'Youville over Pickering

Eastern over Pickering

Best tournament of the year.

I think that what this tournament is going to establish is who are the contenders, and who are the pretenders. I really think MT will prove itself, while Carr and Pope will show that they are pretenders. I would have liked to see Anderson in this tournament.

I guess Mother Teresa was a Pretender.Your pick for the winner just went down the drain.

What school is scared heart and how didi they beat carr ?

Sacred Heart is one of the better teams out of Ottawa. They can shoot the ball very well and play a very disciplined and systematic offense as they look for a good shot. They also defend tough (thus the 39 pts they held Carr to). I am a little surprised at the score, but not overly surprised that they are showing well in this tournament.

Gunta I had J Clarke winning in the finals over MT. Now MT can't be in the finals but I still have J Clarke winning. The Sacred Heart team looks like they will be doing some damage this year. Coachc you say they are from ottawa, what region would they represent at OFSAA and how well did they do last year?

OHH i see but honestly i dont think carr is up to par this year . Only 39 points

NEVAQUITNEVALOSE wrote:Coachc you say they are from ottawa, what region would they represent at OFSAA and how well did they do last year?

They would represent NCSSAA at the AAAA level if they advanced to OFSAA.

This group of players from Sacred Heart has either won or lost in the final in Ottawa for their two junior seasons. They also were considered one of the top teams last year in Ottawa but lost in the semis to St. Matts. Their coach seemed to use last year more as a building year for this year as he took his guys to many strong tournaments last year where their record was not great but the learning experience was invaluable. He is doing the same this year as they just played some games in Syracuse New York, are at the Holiday Classic, will probably be in the All Catholic next month, and I believe they are travelling to Saskatchewan for a huge tournament there next month as well. They have high expectations (rightfully so) for this year, but there are several teams from Ottawa that will battle with them for the right to go to ofsaa at the end of the season. I am very interested to see how they do against Pickering today.

That is an incredibly strong field! Mother Teresa, Henry Carr, Downsview and Pope John Paul are on the consolation side battling it out for 9th and 10th place. That's crazy!

Any updates on the D'youville/Vaughan game?

This Sacred Heart team has manhandled Carr and Pickering.

Now they have to take on undefeated Vaughan, interesting....

This tournament is probably even better than offssa, turning out to be da bomb. There aint any team that would do anything at offssa that isnt here in the tourny. The semis and finals tomorrow going to be sick.

Vaughan and Sacred Heart should be a crazy game. I cant believe how Vaughan put the lockdown D on dy which is a high scoring team.

Only bad thing is they haven't live streamed this tourny.
