NOJHL pre-season rankings
Opening face-off to the 2023-2024 Northern Ontario Jr. Hockey League regular season is less than two weeks away. And following is an abridged — and non-analytic — Hockey News North ranking of the 12 NOJHL teams ahead of the looming ’23-24 campaign. Please note that a number of teams have yet to finalize their rosters and that not a single exhibition game has been played.
EAST DIVISION
- Timmins Rock
- Hearst Lumberjacks
- Powassan Voodoos
- French River Rapids
- Iroquois Falls Storm
- Kirkland Lake Gold Miners
WEST DIVISION
- Soo Thunderbirds
- Sudbury Cubs
- Espanola Paper Kings
- Soo Eagles
- Blind River Beavers
- Elliot Lake Vikings
I’m thinking Sudbury can give the Soo a run for first can’t wait for the drop of the puck. Hopefully IFs and KL will be stronger this season 🤞🏻
