Wow ! Ice Dog fans need to relax. Joey has done an absolutely amazing job with trades and draft picks. Akil Thomas at #10 is a complete steal. His scouting staff is among the hardest working in the entire OHL. We are quick to jump on the Burke's when things do not work out as we would like. I wonder what we will be saying when Billy is Coach of the Year and Joey is GM of The Year

Hopefully same will happen but unlikely given Halliday just committed to ND vs vukojevic was very far in front of OHL Draft.
College hockey is gaining steam very quickly . https://www.nhl.com/news/rookie-watc...hl/c-297555930 The fact that nhl is funding college feasibility studies to grow the game further in US will just accelerate it more. I think both paths are good options but college definitely gives you more time to make it. |

Well I’ve always said I wish they would swing for the fences more often ... they did this time ... and they missed .... I love the aggressiveness .... Not sure what Halliday is thinking when he says that college route is the best way to develop ... forget his exact words ... pretty sure it’s widely acknowledged that the CHL is THE BEST developmental league In The world for pro hockey. Oh well what can ya do .... Plenty of others have said they were only going to go college route ... and yet they end up in London. Sucks that he’s not reporting though. I hope the Burkies learn from this ... wonder what made JB day he’s ‘100% going to report?’ That’s what I don’t get .... He better not say anything so silly in the future ...

Agree with Jumbo 1290. Let's not forget a year is a long time and now that the organization has a top flight recruiter like Roger MacLeod in charge of scouting I think we might be surprised how things change. Maybe if he would have been in charge earlier Trent Frederic and Josh Norris would have been Ice Dogs.

From what I understand, Roger MacLeod and Norris’ father are friends and still in close contact with each other. So, we'll have to wait and see if Roger can do enough recruiting to convince the Norris family to sign that 3 million dollar ELC ![]() |
