I've heard of several examples of kids drafted out of Bantam have told their OHL clubs they will not report to those clubs because of it being a poorly run organization. Names such as Taylor Hall and Tyler Seguin are just two out of many who have done this. These situations are well-documented.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853267891466093489.post-83381983710271102392011-03-28T14:29:49.613-06:002011-03-28T14:29:49.613-06:00No TM.

The Sutter brothers made an offer to buy the club several years ago and the Board of Directors didn't even allow the shareholders to read the offer let alone vote on it. <br /><br />You're right when you say that as long as the club is community-owned, there will be a Board of Directors. But I would the Board to have a lot more hockey sense and hockey experience amongst it's members. I think the fact that the Vice President (Brian Wickers) has 0 hockey experiences and judging from the past 4-5 years, has 0 hockey sense speaks volumes about this current Board. <br /><br />Also, the shareholders get nothing if the club is sold. NOTHING. They get nothing if they don't and nothing if they do.Darrennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853267891466093489.post-19175294278568674352011-03-24T17:22:32.155-06:002011-03-24T17:22:32.155-06:00Despite your dislike of the board of directors, le...Despite your dislike of the board of directors, let me remind you that as long as this club is community owned there will be a board of directors no matter who they are. The only way that changes is for the club to be put up for sale; and that would have to come from the shareholders, not the board. Can't see some of the shareholders itching to give up their ownership for the benefit of the club.<br /><br />TMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853267891466093489.post-51506325005918889592011-03-23T22:15:34.682-06:002011-03-23T22:15:34.682-06:00Wouldn't it SUCK if after the draft, our two t...Wouldn't it SUCK if after the draft, our two top-5 player's parents say "no way, our kid is not going to Lethbridge.".... Make sure you have a few conversations with the parents of these top picks' families, boys.... Its happened before, and after our last two years performance, can't say that I would blame them.

Tell your buddy Fred to make up his mind already. Half way through the show (at 30:25) he picks Red Deer and the Hat to be in the Eastern final. Then at the end of the show he picks The Ice and the Hat. Just teasin Freddie. I think your correct Pat in picking Spokane. I am picking them to win it all.<br />Great work this year guys.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853267891466093489.post-73095288918723443832011-03-23T17:06:29.116-06:002011-03-23T17:06:29.116-06:00Hey Cane fans there is a discussion up on the cane...Hey Cane fans there is a discussion up on the canes facebook page that has just started, I think this is great time to tell the team how you feel and how the canes can make the game day operations and the arena a better place and tell them what you think they can improve on and make a better atmospere for the fans.
