The originally scheduled January 18th game which was to be played against Hawkesbury and which was cancelled due to maintenance difficulties has been re-scheduled for Saturday, February 4th @ 7:30 p.m. at the CIH Arena located in the Clarence-Rockland Community Arena, 8710 County Road 17, Rockland, Ontario. Junior “A” hockey is not new to Rockland - the 1976 Rockland Nationals, coached by Bryan Murray had the distinction, until the 2011 Pembroke Lumber Kings, of being the only CJHL (CCHL) club to win a National title.

Come out and see the game!

The OJS made their move at the January 10th trade deadline by acquiring Kemptville’s scoring leader, Josh Pitt. In return Ottawa sent Joey House, David Chiarelli and a First Round Draft Pick back to Kemptville. In the five games Josh has played for the OJS he has put up 8 points – Welcome to the team Josh!

After 48 Games the OJS stand 3rd in the Yzerman Division and 6th overall with a 24-21-3-0 record (51 Points). The OJS scoring race is led by Conor Brown with 54 points, who is followed closely by Devon Rice with 52, while newly acquired forward Josh Pitt is tied with Drew Anderson with 45.

Still struggling with injuries, the OJS won 3 but lost 4 during January with only one game remaining to wrap-up the month. D-man Joey Shector has recently returned after a prolonged illness and Jeremie Gauthier is expected to step back into the line-up within the next few weeks.

The Final Push is On! Who will the team face in an expected Play-Off run? Every game counts! Go Sens Go!

The OJS are pleased to announce that 1992 Goalie Charlie Millen has joined the club after a short stop in the QJHL earlier this season.

Dorval turns Junior Sens around
When Peter Ambroziak resigned from his position as the head coach of the Ottawa Junior Senators just prior to the start of the 2011-12 Central Canada Hockey League season, team officials weren’t left scrambling, but they were a little taken back.

“It was tough to lose Peter. Excellent hockey guy with a lot of knowledge, and it would really have been nice to have seen what he could have done with this hockey club,” said Junior Sens co-general manager and head scout Darren Graff. “Unfortunately with work, moving his whole family from the United States, it just didn’t prove to be something he had the time commitment for.” Read More...
