North Bay Battalion Dominating at Home: Are They OHL Championship Bound?

The Battalion put on a clinic against the Firebirds, winning 4-1. Their special teams were lights out, and Procyszyn had a standout performance. But is this a sign of true championship contention, or just a hot streak?

Their “Battalion Hockey” style – aggressive forechecking, board battles, and gritty play – clearly worked against Flint. How sustainable is this high-energy approach throughout a long season? Can they maintain this intensity against top-tier OHL competition?

Procyszyn's net-front presence was key. Is he the X-factor for the Battalion's offense moving forward, or do they need more consistent scoring throughout the lineup?

The Firebirds mounted a comeback attempt but ultimately fell short. Does this expose a weakness in the Battalion's ability to handle pressure, or was it simply a case of Flint playing catch-up?

The Battalion are undefeated in their Centurion jerseys. Superstition or a legitimate confidence booster? How much of a role does team mentality play in overall success?

Let's hear your predictions: Are the Battalion true contenders, or are they pretenders? Share your thoughts and insights below.
