The More Things Change, the more things stay the same
There is a recurring theme here with the ownership/management structure of the Lethbridge Hurricanes, hopefully the formatting works... I will bold out the seasons the Canes finished with a greater then .500 record.
We have approx a .492 record as a franchise.. If you take other teams over the same period of 26 years here is what I found:
Medicine Hat .541 (this would include the 2 years they had a combined 30 wins, if you go further back past 26 years, their record would be better)
Saskatoon Blades .525
Moose Jaw Warriors .469
Swift Current Broncos .560
I could go on further, but I think everyone sort of see's the point.. The bottom line is there is no point in fixing the Carriage if the Horse wont pull it..
