This season, the Ice Dogs have overcome their losing mentality of the past four or five years. They are now building on a winning tradition with great success. However, will it be enough to go for the big push this spring? Personally, I think not. Not if they have to give up their future for only one crack at the big Memorial silver can, if they need two or three more big time players, that will cost them dearly. But if they only need a couple to tweak their roster or for depth, then go for it.
The Ice Dogs management has a lot to think about over the next 4 weeks. It might be best for them to focus on their winning tradition for another full season and see how far this year will take them, before they try to go for broke. IMHO
