Preview: Is it new town, new team for the Markham Thunder?
The Brampton Thunder got themselves a new arena, a new look, new coaches and a new municipality this offseason. Will the Markham Thunder be an improvement over their predecessors?
Brampton went 12 - 10 - 2 last season, good enough for third place in the league. They were then knocked out of the playoffs in two straight games by the eventual Clarkson Cup champions, the Montréal Canadiennes. They will tell you this was due to poor officiating. I will tell you that if you go headhunting on a player right after she has scored a goal against your team, you shouldn’t be surprised to rack up 62 penalty minutes over two games.
