Someone ought to show the new management a map of Canada and the boundaries of the City of Brantford.

It was funny, when I was a kid and drove past the Ontario Wastewater Treatment plant down by the Burlington Bridge (you now the one with the globe painted on the side of the tank and the word "Hamilton" inscribed in the middle), I remember thinking "wow Hamilton is a huge place, it takes up half the world!".

Two things: I was dropped on my head a lot as a child, maybe our new ownership passed a similar globe in Brantford?

Welcome to the Brantford Icedogs...should be a real poop show.

GM, Asst GM, Head Coach, Asst Coach - none of them have any OHL experience. These are all essentially Jr B level management. This is hilarious. Under Burke, at least they had an experienced associate coach in Jody Hull.

This is a joke.

Why do you people think it is a problem for an owner to hire people he knows and trusts.
I am pretty sure this happens in every other business.
Coaches hire people they have worked with in the past all the time.
I wouldn't hire someone I have not worked with before to help my team if i owned one.

An experienced associate coach that they ignored... or if they listened to him and that was the result then maybe new blood is a better bet?

I think that is the basis that I am going on this year. Give them a chance and see what happens. There is nowhere to go but up unless they expand the league!
