I don't know where merc_man is, but cdnfarmboy is about 3 hours away. I had some measages from him a few years back on AS. He likely wouldn't remember.

 

[Johnny2063]

I'm in Peterborough, for any other Onterrible boys out there.
Hey Whitty I finally joined.

 

[Canadian farm boy]

I don't remember chit. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Lol

Welcome aboard John.

I'm pretty sure @CJ Brown is from the Peterborough area.

I am in Belleville, so not too far from you. Welcome to the nut house!

 

[Johnny2063]

Thanks for the warm welcome guys.

Pretty knowledgeable bunch of guys on this site, without all the ego b.s.

I miss the old Petes, Bulls rivalry. You guys and Oshawa were enemy number one to Peterborough hockey fans

Not sure how old you are, but the Belleville Bobcats games were almost always barn burners. They would jam pack the old Memorial arena right to the rafters after filling every wooden seat in the place. The 70's were a crazy time for hockey at all levels. There were just as many fights in the stands as there was on the ice! lol

 

[Johnny2063]

Forty eight years old, CJ. I remember the Mem Centre in Peterborough, used to be pretty nuts in the 70's. More drunk guys... no fear of DUI back then.
The Domi \ Marchment brawls were epic. My buddy, the late Dave Holmes was proud to have been knocked out by the Bulls Darren McCarty.

Were the Bobcats Senior A?

I'm thinking Junior B in Belleville, then they moved to Trenton to play Senior A (don't quote me - I may be mistaken - it's been a long time).

 

[CJ Brown]

Oh, and the Memorial Centre in Peterborough always had a great reputation for great hockey. And you are right about the drinking and driving back then - it was the norm rather than the exception.

Welcome! Glad to see another Canuck on here.
