Kitchener Rangers 2024-25 Season Thread, Part I

[Ward Cornell]

Montgomery took a while too.

I did read on HFBoards down below in one of the threads that transfering from the BCHL to the CHL could be difficult to do. Not sure impossible but difficult.
I have no idea if factual or not.

So…Pridham is taking a longtime to make an official announcement.

I wonder if the 2nd player (rumoured) is still coming.

Could be a holdup on hockey Canada side.
Could also be signed and just not posted, Might want to wait till before the game tomorrow.
JB mentioned he was headed back to Ontario on Monday.

I am not going to get in heated discussion with Kitchner fans, I have too much respect for them, they have so many heartfelt chirping words at their disposal. that would make Sim fly like an angel !

No problem Fastpace. It's the players chirping on the ice that have to deal with it if they get caught saying something that is considered offense in this day and age. Personally I love the on ice chirping. Gets the crowd into the game and puts a bit of character into it as well. I have too much Irish in me to be canonized as a Saint.

I am somewhat of the same mold, my friend, but I fear what happens on the ice is spilling into the stand and in public avenues(forums), they are changing the very game we so much love to support

Agree with the bolded.

So... Not sure the BCHL has a leg to stand on. But why would they rush it?
Wait until the USA is asked to release a kid. Lol...not sure they would this season at all. Certainly not after December 31st.

I would agree. I just don’t see Bott having any trade value which is why I left him on. To be honest any 2 of the 4 you mentioned to be traded I’d be happy with.

Arquette now back
Pridham added
Anstis and Headrick coming back still

Something has to give shortly or you are going to have a bunch of pissed off players. 17F once Anstis and Headrick back. 15F currently healthy. 3 healthy players will be sitting the next game is Pridham is here (no official announcement yet).

They are going to push kids down to make headroom for the NCAA dreamers! Really sad to not develop them. Again the prefered theory is to rotate not develop!!!! Cheaper that way!
It is a business in the entertainment industry. Buyer beware.

Well, no one on here didn't really think that Kitchener was the only team with flyers on here, did they?

 

[Fergus31]

There's no payback. If there's a message there, it's a show of solidarity with the player who was marginalized. But it was meant to be a joke.

Seriously, you London fans are insufferable. I'm sorry you lost *checks notes* to Saginaw four weeks ago. Go jump in your pile of Robertson Cups or something.

Sorry FP has meandered over here. I apologize on behalf of all London fans.

Well, Rangers and Knights are very close in total championships. London has had more recent success but the trade off was the first few decades were mostly miserable.

I have family in the Waterloo region so hoping to catch a game or two at the Aud this year. Still a great rink with a great fanbase. Kitchener will be laughing the most when these NCAA recruits start showing up.

Enjoy the season. Good luck the rest of the way.
