Seems that this is the biggest we have seen in a draft class for many many years. I like that there are some bigger players. Hope we do not lose the identity of small fast forwards. But very very please to see size. I hope the team turns out to be a nice mix of small and fast with some big bodies to drive to the net and big defencemen to lay punishing hits.

Kruger is the guy behind these picks. Liked him as a coach and so far like his picks. Only time will tell if he is really good at this though. Also will need a few more years of picks to see if he has what it takes.

I understand that Kootney had made inquiries about moving to Medicine Hat if the Tigers move.

Why are the tigers moving? Am I out of the loop?

Team is getting sold, should be announced in coming weeks

So maybe I should comment now, since I've heard ridiculous rumours. People do you really think the Tigers are going to move out of Medicine Hat?

We are more likely to find extra-terrestrial life than the Tigers moving out of Medicine Hat. The commissioner would not approve of it either.

As for being sold to a new owner, I found past rumours tied to the same rumours that have been proven to be false time and time again.

Why would someone who enjoys hockey and make a profit sell their team? Maybe I'm wrong, I don't know the guy but business wise the notion to me seems ridiculous.
