There have been a lot of changes in the IceDogs scouting staff in the last few years? The IceDogs once had as many as 11 scouts - they are now down to 7.

For starters, in June of 2016, Niagara announced that Roger MacLeod would take over as the team’s new Director of Scouting. Who was their Director of Scouting previous to MacLeod?

Roger MacLeod Director of Scouting
Darryl Boulley ETA - Gone
Matt Milne SCTA/Goalies
Kenny Fleck Ottawa
Nathan Martine GTA - Gone
Steve Ludzik Jr. OJHL - Gone
Mark Seidel Northern Ontario - Gone
Steve Spade Michigan - Gone
Rich Lisk New Jersey - Gone
Rob Hubbert Player Development

…Tim MacLean, Vince Tarantino and Brent Tomlinson all added this year.

I cannot remember his full name, but, I believe his last name was Neville.
