STH is declining annually. Walk up sales are also declining but this is for all OHL teams exceptions are London and Niagara.
TL will remain a head coach for next season. In truth, I think its WR/FE who is guiding TL on player lineups and who to play etc. WR/FE re influencing TL because of their player selections/draft picks and to hide their incompetence of selecting players.
I agree that BB should be more active but WR/FE won't allow it. At the end of the day it's the STH fans and players who become victims to the politics. So what do you recommend as a fix? Why should I give up my STH tickets now? I don't want to renew because of the politics yet I think this team will be good in 2 yrs and I enjoy watching these players grow yet I don't like it when they get traded at their peak (or close to peak).
If Letowski is returning that will really hit the attendance hard again. They're going to probably end up with around 60 points which is quite poor. The team could be much improved next year and have around 75 points but that may not even move the needle for more fans to go. The fans were getting restless from 13-17, the Memorial Cup victory bought the organization some time and a bit of a reprieve. Now we are at the point it's going to be a 7th-9th seed this year no playoff run. There has to be some type of pay off to the fans next year and that's in the form of a division title, winning a round in the playoffs etc... You just can't rationalize a year by saying the team is young, it's a rebuild etc... This team has pretty much gone in the tank but Letowski has had that happen to him in Sarnia as well.
