It’s junior hockey that’s a good enough reason to believe it might not be the case I wonder if they’ll give Humphries a start

It was DD that gave them the boot along with the Media antipastos buffet replaced with cookies and chips. LOL.
Foreground was awesome! Worth whatever they were paid. It made the whole experience so much better.
We are talking Ben here. Robertson goes back to back. Predicting two fairly easy wins against two of the weaker opponents they have faced this year.
Haha. Making up your own question and answering doesn’t count. That question was never asked.
Start with Post #408. I have lots you have avoided. Poser! Or creep (troll) another site.

Dan’s son is playing u16 STA this season and I believe he is coaching him. So, I could see him joining the staff next year possibly.

Made you look
Get it out of his system early perhaps? Sending a message.
I got clarification on this. Dan coached his son last year as a u15. He is now playing STA u16. Dan remains as the STA u15 coach.

Yeah, I get that. But the IceDogs really haven't been in the position of being expected to win. And Robertson has been waiting for this opportunity to prove he is a starter. I think they pass the test, but there is pressure.
NB, Owen Sound, Petes and Kitchener are examples of teams in true rebuilds. The IceDogs are NOT in a rebuild. Darren has said it both publicly to the fans and privately to his coaches “the mandate is to win now” and expect more trades as needed to assure that they do. The current 24-25 roster is not the finish line, it’s the start of the race.
Prediction: 4 points. One win a lot easier than the other.

I'm here, I'm bored
The sad thing is, had he been smart with the assets, we could have made this a 2-3 year window.
We should have so many picks in our cupboards that we say "screw it, lets grab Musty and another dman" and still be able to build onto next year too.
Darren’s asset management skills are beyond atrocious!
I don’t want Musty he a me only player
This is definitely home for Dan. So there would seem to be a natural progression for him to become part of the IceDogs in the near future
It's all Wellandgood for Girardi | BP Sports Niagara
There is no doubt Dan Girardi is a proud of his hometown. The 40-year-old Welland native was effusive in his praise of the Rose City Sunday at the Welland Sports Wall of Fame inductions at the Seaway Mall. “I love the city,” he said. “It taught me that hard work pays off. I still love coming...

Bang On! Anyone who knows the Icedogs STH base, also knows, support has little to do with winning but rather knowing that those running the team understand the OHL’s cyclical nature and rebuild accordingly. Former STHs have had enough of the owner’s mismanagement of players, trades and draft capital.
With proper management, the IceDogs could be like this, building toward 26-27 and receiving the financial support of returning STHs….
DRAFT CAPITAL…before trades ( RENEW)
25: 2, 3, 4, 4
26: 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4
27: 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4
28: 2, 3, 4
+ 07 A.Frolov; 05 U.Podrekar; + SIGN IMPORT 06 D - Gabriel Eliasson
DRAFT CAPITAL…proper trade ( RENEW)
25: 2, 3, 4, 4
26: 2, 3, 3, 4, 4
27: 2, 3, 4, 4
28: 2, -, 4
+ 06 J.Brauti; + 07 A.Frolov; + 05 B.Scott; NO 04 NVV trade; INSTEAD roster 04 Loshko, 04 Flores and 04 Bryant at NO draft capital cost; AND SIGN IMPORT D 06 G. Eliasson
Instead, IceDogs are like this...
DRAFT CAPITAL…after trade overpays (STH NOT RENEWING)
25: - , 3, 4, 4
26: 2, 3, 4
27: 2, 3, 4, 4
28: 2, 3, 4
+ 06 J.Brauti; + 05 B.Scott; + OA NVV
- 07 A.Frolov; - 05 U.Podrekar; minus one of 04 Loshko, 04 Flores or 04 Bryant; minus Import 06 D G. Eliasson (traded for next to nothing)

Ice dogs Barrie Nov 1 on TSN wonder if tge fans are going to boo the import who didn’t want to play for us.
Probably not. Although the hard core IceDog fans of the past (dating back to the Lesssciooo chants) would 100% boo him, the truth is those are the STH’s this organization lost.
What you have now is a small core of STHs along with the majority being casual fans who go to a few games a year and a lot of kids with their parents. I would imagine few even know who Eliasson is or care they only got a 3rd for him.

Based solely on interviews, there are couple players on the roster from deeply religious families. A bit rare in Canadian hockey, so got my attention

Which is fine by me. I believe in freedom of religion but also freedom FROM religion.
If its just a simple announcement, ok sure. If they ask me to pray I will be very, very pissed.

#TBT "Behind Closed Doors" News IceDog fans may not know:
Prior to the trade deadline of the IceDogs 2016 championship run, Carter Verhaeghe reached out to Marty Williamson and asked if he could arrange to have him sent from the ECHL back to the IceDogs. NYI GM Garth Snow gave Marty’s request some serious considered before telling him no deal. We were very close to unexpectedly getting him back for that Cup run.
