Four cohorts on NOJHL slate
Cochrane Crunch and Timmins Rock have drawn up a schedule of 10 games between each other over the next 20 days.
And Blind River Beavers and Soo Thunderbirds are working on their next slate of games as cohort opponents, which will likely be next week.
Blind River and the Soo just finished a six game set of games between each other and have now faced off as Northern Ontario Jr. Hockey League cohort opponents 10 times this season with the Beavers and Thunderbirds having won five games apiece.
But with the Sudbury district now having been placed in a public health red zone from a less restricted orange code, the three NOJHL teams from that area have been shut down.
Espanola Express, French River Rapids and Rayside Balfour Canadians all fall within the Public Health Sudbury and Districts framework. And indoor hockey games and practices are not allowed as part of being in the red restrict zone.
