Just wanted to say thank you to Don Roberson of the Dundas Real McCoys and Peter Ham of the Brantford Blast for coming onto this forum and posting.
Donnie has been doing it for years and have noticed Peter lately.
The fans of both teams truly appreciate it. It's rare for team owners or executives to post comments about their team or league. But with Senior hockey, in many cases, this is the only way to find out info about your team. Other levels of hockey -AHL , NHL and Major Junior have terrific media coverage. Not knowing what is happening with your local Senior team can be frustrating.
Donnie always keeps his fans up to date. He posts on here often and always ensures that our local Dundas paper has some type of McCoys article every week.
Peter is quoted in the Brantford Expositor quite often as well.
Unless you have an "in" with an executive member, these posts are the only way you have any knowledge of what is happening. Good example is when Donnie came online to explain why he reduced admission to a game last season down to $5.
I would love to see more participation from team execs. The more discussion the better. Interest is created.
Pass this message on to your local execs. The fans deserve to have more knowledge.
In closing, check out the Newfoundland forum. Those fans have great input from the insiders. Refreshing to say the least.

I think...if this forum wasn't so enabling for rumours/lies & accusation...a few more execs' might be interested in participating.
As it is...(and has been since forever)...people can come here & post anonymously...and they can even post under multiple identities. This leads to a lot of unfair & counter-productive conversation.
Even when I've went directly to sources, requested & been granted accurate answers to pertinent questions...I post the information, verbatim, how it was given to me (I'm the 2nd longest serving forum member and one of the only who reveals my real name/identity) I will be interrupted by random posts from anonymous people either contradicting or questioning my first hand information! I mean...what's the point, really?!
So, ya, it's nice to have Donny here. (I've got no reason to believe "Peter Ham" is Peter Ham). Don't hold your breath for anymore executives showing up here. Not from Alberta, at least.

I'm flattered that anyone would think I'm interesting enough to be emulated
