Often eh?
I'm in 5 scout rooms a week and this was the first one i've this this season.
I may see 1-2 GM'S a season in OHL arenas i wouldn't call that often.
Much more often at AHL games yea.

Can confirm they usually make it out to see there top prospects often they do not even enter the scouting rooms they like to be under cover
Looking forward to seeing what impact the return of Stonehouse will have on the team.
More than likely, if anything, it will impact opposing team's preparation versus the 67s as they will have to emphasize discipline and limit retaliation situations.

Weird that they would think being out with 3-6K fans would be staying undercover when they can go to the media room / box see 10 people and stay low key lol.

With respect to GM’s in arena’s, there are multiple reasons why you would see it. First, and probably the most common, is the GM is travelling with the team and is currently in the area so they make a pitstop to see a couple of their prospects. Calgary was in Montreal on Nov 5 (Tuesday). They are in Boston tonight. This aligns with him being in Kingston on Wednesday morning.
Ottawa is an NHL city so we would see a lot more GM’s in our rink than others would because it is an easy viewing when dates align with prospects they want to see, whether they are top prospects for the upcoming draft or their own prospects.

I can count on 1 hand how many NHL GM'S i've seen at OHL games in the last 5-6 years.
They must be out mingling with the fans as @AGranderson mentions.
Just seems incredibly strange to me that they would be.

Seen lots of GM's at games. Usually more so in February, March and April. Scouts indicated that they are recommending certain players so GM's want to see them closer to their last games and closer to the NHL draft before these kids hit their lists. And yes seen them in the crowds and around the back of the house.

Again, Ottawa is an OHL city. When I was going to games, I would see GM’s often enough to suggest it is relatively common. Keep in mind, it usually coincided with a Sens game the night before or after when that team was in town.
If the GM is actually scouting, many of them will sit in the top corners for the right views. Whether they head to the media room between periods is another story I wouldn’t be able to comment on.
depends on teams home schedule, I think. There are often enough gms in NB Thursdays
Crazy how often you guys are seeing them
I seen lots of AGM'S and Scouting directors but very rarely a GM.
