    well Zimmerman left for a promotion which you can't blame and I guess with Jamie his contract was up for renewal so I am not sure what the reason for his leaving is, maybe sometimes change is good, you can't blame people for trying to better themselves.

    Jaimie just bought a house maybe 6 months ago. There's something to this I'd bet.

    Default Good Luck Jamie

    I think it was mutual on him leaving. Yes he bought a house and he is planning to stay in Swift. Has the little lady and all. It sounded like he was looking forward to watching the games instead of working them and also having some weekends off. It's a big job with long hours. Mostly night time. Jamie has been doing this along time, first with The Brantford Battalion of the O.H.L. and then the Bronco's. When you do something so many years, it becomes repetative and may loose it's appeal. It's also a thankless job. Best of luck to you Jamie and hope to see you in the stands.

    Hey Gourley: Seen you read this forum, are my chances nill for Matt's job. lol

    Wink Another Resignation

    Scout, you must have an inside track or something you're always on the ball with the latest news in Bronco-land. Anyhow, i heard that Gourley resigned yesterday and is going to work at RBC Investments. Good-bye marketing department! I think I might apply for the job...how hard can it be? I hate the rigs...I think that this could be my calling!

    Default What happens now?

    Gourlay and Zimmerman are big parts of the team behind the scenes. As we all know hockey is a business and these guys were the primary money makers. Gourlay has been around for a few years now and will be hard to replace and people really liked Zimmerman. I hear John Foster is retiring from teaching. He did the job from 86 to about 92. Would he be considered?

    Default Inside Track?

    I don't think i have an inside track. It's a small town and you hear everything. If your involved in hockey in any way you get info. I get nothing out of the Bronco office if thats what you mean. I've been around hockey a long time and know lots of people in hockey. Alot of you posters post things that have not been released thru the media and it surprises me how some get the info. As for Zimmerman. Yah the marketing dept. i think is the money makers for the team. Both these guys are good at it and raised alot of money for the club. Thru selling board signs, on ice logo sales, contacting corporate sponsors with their hand out, making and thinking up game day promotions, etc. it's not just sitting at the games and watching.

    Lets not pounce all over the team now. We are finally getting to watch good hockey where all four lines are played. We have lots of good upcoming players. We used to get mad at only two lines being played and that changed. Wanted beer in the stands and you got it. Wanted cheaper tickets and got it. We are getting the rink redone and expanded. I'm excited about next year. We may not be #1 but we will be exciting.
