I think he is just saying that so that the reporter doesn’t ask any additional questions about the investigation. But I agree, he knows exactly what the investigation is all about.
The principal off-ice issues that are hard to ignore are:
- bullying
- player behaviour
- fired office staff members
- suspended GM meddling
- player discontent (several of them)
If a large number of fans at the games (and online) are aware of these problems, Ben is clearly steering clear of interfering with the investigation. Just coach is probably in his best interest.

Just went on X and sent a tweet regarding the Dogs with a #SELLTHETEAM. It might be worth our while to try to get a strong following on X to accentuate our voice

He'd have to. He is in the middle between players and upper management. He would definitely be interviewed by the league about the entire situation so there is no way he doesn't know what it is about. But he is mostly definitely in a position to be told not to discuss anything with anyone about it.
When someone tries to discredit me publicly I have every right to take a couple swings back and give them an I told you so.
I see you quite often going after "couch scouts" on twitter unprovoked.
The difference with me is I don't go out looking for it i just respond when called upon.
!
You said your model (for the 2nd time Dec. 2) had Brampton & Brantford passing Niagara in 2 weeks.
I said Niagara would likely be passed sometime after the trade deadline by teams adding if Niagara did not.
I had tiers subject to change Jan. 10

im speaking out on behalf of alot of guys who get pissed at guys who just take the easy way out. thats not the same as getting angry at someone who didnt agree with you and didnt just say what you wanted. who cares if he has a different opinion. thats not the same thing as taking shots at guys who disrespect our profession.
you just got mad someone didnt just blindly agree, kept a receipt and then waited months to let him know how wrong they were. thats next level narcissism.
It is literally the exact same thing as someone disrespecting someone’s profession lmao
That’s literally exactly what he did with me + pretty much told me I don’t know what I’m doing or talking about.
There’s a lot more to it than what was posted in these threads there was a bunch of DMs as well.
If you want to see next level narcissism go look at you’re own twitter!
You are the last person that should be calling someone a narcissist.
I have no problem with what ScoutLife4 said. He took a lot of heat for saying that Niagara will finish in 7th place when the IceDogs were still in first. I figure he took a bit of a beating back then so he is entitled to give it back now.
Is this a debate of grown adults or grade school? Using grown up words in your arguments doesn’t make it any better.

Made you look
This isn't a new phenomenon. Ever since online message exchanges have existed (and I've been at this 39 years), people routinely take swipes at each other that they wouldn't risk in public. We used to preface such banter with [FLAME ON] to give non-combatants a chance to go to the next message or grab some popcorn.
Long way of saying, it's part of the culture on message boards and sometimes its hilarious to see someone pummelled with their own words by someone who's much better at dishing it out. Personally, while we're discussing a sport where two players can square off and drop the gloves, I don't mind the verbal jousting - seems appropriate to me.

As I got older, im 45, I had to disengage from all hot discussions. The idea of getting upset while possibly arguing with a 14 year old is just too much. Lol.
i found it a bit more hilarious then anything. i'm still chuckling about it.
'how dare you challenge my big brain 7 months ago! i'm very smart, here's the proof!!!! how are you have an option different then me, i am very smart!'
i go after the puck preps guy because it frustrates me to drive 3/4 hours to see a game and he just sits on his couch. its less about me even, i dont like that players work their ass off, team scouts work their ass off and he doesnt want to do the same. i dont think he knows what ohl teams want based on his rankings, but thats all secondary.

With all the negative noise surrounding the team, I’m not sure if 6th or 7th really matters. Either way they are not winning a first round match up against one of the top three teams. More importantly, secure a higher draft pick and pray for new ownership, otherwise this franchise is going backwards in the offseason.OHL playoff tracker has this:

I agree wholeheartedly. Hopefully, the season goes beyond the next 5 games.

I remember an 8th seeded Icedogs team beating a 1st seeded 67's team to end Kilrea's coaching career...I don't see that happening this year with the dogs.
