CJHL announces division re-alignment for 2009-10 season
With the addition of the 12th and final team in the CJHL, the Board of Governors ratified a 62 game schedule which sees each team play their divisional rivals(North/South) six times, and their 2 non-divisional geographical rivals six times (East/West/Central) with five games against the remaining 4 other teams.

The YZERMAN Division is now comprised of the teams along the Highway 417/Ottawa River (North) corridor. From west to east that places Pembroke, Kanata, Nepean (alumni Steve YZERMAN), Ottawa, Gloucester and Cumberland in the Yzerman. 6 games against the other 5 teams.

The ROBINSON Division will be comprised of the teams in the Highway 401/Rideau-St. Lawrence (South) corridor. From east to west that places Hawkesbury, Cornwall, Brockville (alumni Larry ROBINSON), Kemptville, Smiths Falls and the expansion Carleton Place team in the Robinson. 6 games against the other 5 teams

The Western Block is Pembroke, Kanata, Carleton Place and Smiths Falls...6 games against the other 2 teams

The Central Block is Nepean, Ottawa, Kemptville and Brockville...6 games against the other 2 teams

Eastern Block is Gloucester, Cumberland, Cornwall and Hawkesbury....6 games against the other 2 teams

That gives each team 42 games against divisional and geographical rivals.

The remaining 20 are against the other 4 teams which include the showcase matchups. That leaves 5 games per opponent-2 home, 2 away and 1 showcase.

With a nearly balanced schedule, the playoff format will remain the same, with the top 8 qualifying regardless of division. Only four games are shy of making it a fully balanced schedule.

The increase to 62 game will reduce travel based on the schedule imbalance and the designated showcase games. Showcase opponents will always be four non-divisional, non-geographical teams.

Kings complete draft day deal to acquire Defenseman Stephen Farrell from Kemptville
The CJHL Draft typically allows teams to add young talent to help their teams in the future but Kings General Manager Sheldon Keefe got started early and added a Defenseman that will make an immediate impact to the Kings blueline.

The Kings and Kemptville 73’s completed a deal just minutes before the Carleton Place Kings stepped up to the podium to announce their first overall selection and in the process the Kings helped to plug a hole on their Defense.

The trade at a glance:

To Pembroke: 1990 DEF Stephen Farrell

To Kemptville: 1989 FWD Zach Wilson, 2009 3rd and 4th round picks, 2010 4th round pick
