The physicality and hostility between the two teams seems to have died with the players who've since graduated.<br /><br />If I could do it over again, I would definitely include a Battle of Peel, over a Dogs/Majors match up.Brock Ottenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08237782074032840702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2553903000955128175.post-89529299934589651852009-10-09T12:47:49.306-04:002009-10-09T12:47:49.306-04:00Sorry for the late response as I got here via the ...Sorry for the late response as I got here via the Spits/Knights game post.<br /><br />The IceDogs/Majors rivalry is fizzing out. I believe there's only 3 IceDogs left who played for Mississauga in the chocolate factory: Petro (who is not back yet), DeSousa and MacEachern.<br /><br />It is true that this was a very strong rivalry even before the move. Although it's being replaced with the Battalion/Majors. The Majors turfed out Brampton 2 years in a row in the 2nd round in '02 & '03, which also added to the "2nd round curse" that Brampton finally broke last year.<br /><br />This animosity has been elevated with the proximity due to the move, and last season's 6 game Brampton playoff win.<br /><br />This year's first match-up in Brampton was ineventful outside of Gaunce introducing himself to Goodrow. However the 2nd game, the Majors' home opener, was a barn burner ending in a shoot-out with numerous fisticuffs from players not known for dropping gloves: Perreira, Flemming, Mayer, Cizikas.<br /><br />It looks like the battles of Peel will indeed be an event not to be missed!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
