With the announcement and approval of the League’s 5-on-5 regulations for the 2020-21 season, the 24 GOJHL teams can prepare for a January 15 start date, subject to regional Public Health
guidelines and Ontario’s COVID-19 response framework. “We are grateful and excited to have received this confirmation from the OHF as we work towards getting our players back on the ice. Along with our goal of providing the best junior hockey experience in Ontario, our League is committed to ensuring a safe return to play for everyone involved,” said Mark Tuck, GOJHL Commissioner. “The GOJHL would like to thank all facilities and public health units for their cooperation and dedication towards understanding the needs of our GOJHL teams as we organize our return to play.” Official game schedules will be released pending the ever-changing scenarios evolving around the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The regular season, dependent on variable COVID-19 guidelines and regulations, is scheduled to conclude at the end of March 2021.

It was only a two goal splurge just past the midway point that allowed Chrysler to edge Gabriele’s. For Gabriele’s, Dylan Impens cranked out a pair to account for the team’s goals. The Chrysler team got a pair of unanswered goals from Derrick Mastromatteo which proved to be the main difference. Andy Anthony also fired two while Derek Clark pumped one.
