How Does London Do It?

If that’s actually the case, why did London waste a pair of 2nd round picks on them instead of just waiting and drafting them in the 14th or 15th round?

I guess the Firebirds, Steelheads, Spirit, even the Petes have been selecting players with little chance of reporting in rounds 2-4 since 2018 at least; so players like Mailloux and Stranges falling to London is less frequent.

They've only won one title since the Bulldogs (2) arrived, so this aint on us.

Brantford hasn't won any titles

Two actually I think. London won in 2015-16 the first year they were in Hamilton. Right?

The Knights drafted many US players who did not report. Most recently William Moore, James Hagens and Frankie Nazar. Prior to that there were lots more.
The secret with the Knights is that they usually don't dress any 16 year olds other than their first round pick. Players like Wm. Nicholl, Jared Woolley, Oliver Bonk, Easton Cowen, Jacob Julien, and Logan Mailoux all spent their first year in Jr. B. They all got lots of ice and had no pressure to produce in their first year. When they did come up they all made an impact.
