One of the best to ever suit up for the St. Catharines Blackhawks and a dear friend passed away last night. I enjoyed every game of golf, every dinner, every moment of every day I got to spend with this gentleman. RIP David Gorman! Play well up there

I am very sorry to hear this. My condolences.

You've already said too much. Rumors tend to backfire.

I have no problem with people saying rumours they believe to be true. That is why most things come out here on the forum before they are officially announced. Without these rumours, this forum would be pretty dull.

I heard yesterday that the OHL has decided on our new GM and that the OHL will be running the team next year. How long that extends, I did not hear that. The new GM has been quite successful as a gm in the OHL. It is not Matt Turek

While I would rather DD sell the team outright, this is much better than the status quo.

Not necessarily better

Not necessarily better

Any solution that involves DD having less influence is an improvement. Don't forget, he's not in this to sit in the box and enjoy the fruits of owning a team, he believes he knows better, he has to tinker. Take away his toys and he might just sell and go home.

So if the OHL is putting someone in place, what are the sanctions against DD and our hero Wes?

If the OHL is running the IceDogs, DD will eventually sell the team. Plus I would imagine the league will mandate DD provide the team with a minimum budget, which DD won’t like.

I think you could safely assume that BB will also receive some form of sanction.

Any solution where he has less involvement is better you’re right however as we’ve seen with the current suspension he doesn’t listen which is why I said that might not necessarily be better

Roebroeck czata n wasslyn want out

If this is true then damn I feel bad for you guys.

Roobroeck I wouldn’t be surprised to go NCAA. He was apparently liking a bunch of Michigan hockey posts on Instagram but I don’t think Wassilyn would be allowed to yet as he hasn’t graduated grade 12. Czata potential trade? Again.. if all of this is true… time will tell.

If it's true Futa takes over as GM , his first task will be to convince a bunch of players to play there .
He could do that.
