You’re entitled to believe whatever you want, but you’ll NEVER convince a highly knowledgeable fan base that 1. knows their owner/GM has proven himself completely clueless and incapable of planning beyond today and 2. Fully understands how championship teams are built (e.g., demographics, scouting, recruitment, trade currency, etc…).
Hf boards has never had the IceDogs fan base contributing on here, that's changing now. Understand that their knowledge and point of view stems from an understanding of the OHL’s cyclical nature combined with close contact with owners, coaches, players, billet parents, media personal and bring here a wealth of inside information of the on and off ice matters.
ID fans know what is the right way and what is the wrong way and there is NOTHING that Darren has done in three years to indicate that he has any idea of what he’s doing as an OHL owner/GM. Now, if you honestly can’t see it, that’s your problem not ours but don’t seriously expect IceDog fan to agree with you.
Know this, Darren Dedobbelaer is the laugh-stock of the Niagara region! This site now has several highly intelligent IceDog/OHL fans and there are many more non- hf registered former IceDog STHs reading the comments asking me “WTF are some of these people taking about” and that is the God honest truth. So for the love of God, can you stop pushing Darren's flawed Mem-Cup plan because he doesn't have one.
