What did that prove/ accomplish

What doers booing their anthem accomplish just felt good sitting thru it there were some other people did has well.

Good teams don't lose 12 soon to be 20+ in a row!

Not saying this is a good team (they’re ok) but a good team might go on a slide like this if you’re down to your 3-4 goalie I said it when Flores went down and I’ll say it again this team needs to score 5+ to even have a chance at winnning while he’s gone and that’s much easier said than done

Genuinely, disappointed for the players and coaches…a depleted Erie roster and up three goals early, appeared to mark the sure end to the losing streak. The task of ending this gets more daunting, with London in town on Saturday.

While it’s a great opportunity for local kids, does this have financial red flags all over it? The IceDogs’ are running Spring Developmental Camps throughout the months of April and May. I don’t recall this ever being done before by the IceDogs?

It’s a way to get kids interested in the team. Major junior teams have run camps for ~50 years. The blue jays do this.

Which other OHL teams run these spring camps over a two month period?

Which other OHL teams run these spring camps over a two month period?

Most of them do a week in the summer.
There is a lot of talk right now that DD is running out of money and desperate to sell but he wants way to much for the team that its scaring everyone away.
Probably will see some desperation moves this summer.

Ben (and Bruce), with the assistance of the IceDogs, run a local well established week long summer camp also.

However, these IceDog Spring camps are "Taking place throughout both April & May at Meridian Centre & Seymour Hannah!"

Are there any other OHL teams doing anything similar to this? This could be yet another financial red flag for this organization.
