Clouston leaving

I doubt that the Ice would bring in a big name coach as they demand a large pay check and the history of our franchise is that they tend to be thrifty when it comes to spending money for anything. My guess is that longtime local coach and second ast coach Colin Patterson will get a big advancement in his coaching carrier.

It sucks being a small market team. The new teams in Vancouver, Everett, Chilliwack, Calgary and Edmonton have set standards spending money that pure hockeytowns like Cranbrook, Prince George, Swift Current, Moose Jaw, et al. just can't afford. The hockeytowns are like the old Montreal Expos just development teams for the rich guys to buy players from.
