Just another laugh at the Niagara games I have season tickets and we have two people on the account. They promised 10 free popcorn per person and then we found out since we’re on the same account. It’s only per account and get this. They all have to be claimedby December!😂 but all is well. I got one dollar mug as a gift.😂😂😂
Yes, it's crazy how they give you things per account. It should always be per seat. I don't understand why the popcorns all have to be used by the end of Dec. What is the difference if we use them by Dec or by the end of the season.

The mugs are a really cheap gift, but it's what I would expect from DD.

You almost have to see if some team is willing to pay a lot for Loshko when Bryant returns.
Trading Loshko would be crazy. He is our second leading scorer and one of only two NHL drafted players on our roster.

Do you share one seat ?

Time to split the account. There's no discount for multiple seats.
They dont say if two people are sharing one seat or two people, two seats, one account .

Speaking only from my experience, I've been STH in Owen Sound for over 3 decades.

I've gone from 4 seats to 1 on my account.

The Attack approach to perqs , giveaways , discounts etc. has always applied to each seat.

OHL power rankings keep us in 9th place. Even though we are the only team that lost once.
OHL has consistently demonstrated dislike for Niagara.

Was the same in Niagara forever, but DDD can't resist stepping over a dollar to pick up a dime.

I think the power rankings are done by a group of NHL scouts.

I may be dead wrong, but it may have a lot to do with the 'old boys network' that still permeates the sporting world.

Not many scouts venture to Owen Sound and especially between January and March. So we are well versed in being regarded the 'poor cousin '.

Which is fine.
The underdog is a good role to play.
You guys have a good team this year and the fans truly deserve this.

Good luck and enjoy the ride.
I love your arena .

I like that the OHL power rankings are an appropriate rank within the OHL that does not over react to a good or bad week, though I think Niagara should have gained one spot to pass Flint

I believe it's just a social media guy that works for the Chl doing it.
I've never heard of any NHL scouts being involved

“The Niagara IceDogs aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. This comes after some speculation that the team may be moving to Brantford, which was quickly shot down by owner Darren DeDobbelaer.”

What speculation? Is Darren seriously reading the fb comments of 2-3 fans who know next to nothing about the OHL or IceDogs.

1. IceDogs have a binding lease until 2034;
2. Brantford has an OHL team

What a ridiculous self promoting fluff piece story.

I absolutely think he keeps an eye on social media.

With the old message board there were times when we would bitch and moan about something. Then I would hear/read him on an interview and he seemed to address our complaints or even fix the problem. When I ran into him and had a 10 minute discussion I brought up several issues and he had a plausible answer for all of them. He for sure knew the common complaints and had prepared answers.

There is a lot to criticize, Not paying attention to his customers doesn't seem like one of them. We may not like his decisions but that is a different thing.

By the way, a certain Niagara media person once accused me of being DD on the old website.

Of course, but my point is there are only 2 or 3 people who keep mentioning the IceDogs are moving even though fans repeatedly telling them we have a lease and Brantford already has an OHL team. 99.9% of the fans know they can’t move to Brantford. So for DDD to publicly boast like he is doing Niagara hockey fans some HUGE favour is what’s ridiculous.

Hamilton has a fresh new renovated arena they are looking to dedicate another hockey team to though.

Luckily for Dogs fans it sounds like its Belleville or Toronto trying to move their AHL team there. (Most likely Belleville with their lease expiring in 2027.

The hard core fans know the truth but you’d be surprised how many fans that go to the games don’t know things that people on here or even the old icedog board would be able to tell you in a second

I brought this up to a few people at the home opener and I have a feeling it will end up happening Sens move the AHL to Hamilton and the bulls come back when they move Brampton again
