    I am so numb after all this, it isn't funny.

    The lack of respect that Robison, the WHL, Burke, Sather and Porter have shown the employees of the Bruins, the Bruins fans, Sponsors and the entire city of Chilliwack is an absolute joke.

    And to watch that smug bastard during that press conference, and then dance around the hard questions from the Bruins fans later on, on THE HAWK...you can tell the type of snake that he is.

    Never trust a snake. It even goes back to the days of Adam and Eve...snakes (serpents) can not be trusted.

    So, less than a 1000 STH so far, and just folding the Salmon Kings...just like that, because Robison blinked his eyes and just like "I Dream oif Jeannie" a WHL franchise just landed in Lee's lap.

    i agree.. Robinson is full of lies... back when the SOFMC was being built, he stated that the league would not come to the island unless two teams woudl be on the island, and he also stated that the league was not going to allow relocation or expand. This was in 2003-2004. and what a couple of seasons later and the league (a) allows a team to relocate to Chilliwack, and (b) allows an expansion team in Edmonton.

    Now its all of a sudden ok to have only one team on the island?

    I agree robinson is pretty two faced must be taking lessons from the biggest A hole in all of hockey bettman. Whl is all about money for the league office and to hell with putting out a decent product or the fans who foot the bills. funny with all the moves to "improve" hockey attendance is no better now than 10-15 years ago in either league. too many 16-17 year olds in the dub who should be in midget and too many 3rd and 4th liners in the NHL who should be in the minors. screwing two groups of fans (bruins-salmonkings ) says it all doesn't it.

    i would agree that Bettman is a total asshole and really has bastardized the game of hockey with silly new rule changes .It would be nice for a hockey guy to take over.I disagree with the comment that there are too many 16 or 17 years old in the dub.Looking at your Moose Jaw Warriors team, they have some great young talent and they need to be groomed with the best available competition.Kids like Reilly and Kornelsen are both excellent players that deserved to be cutting their teeth in the dub.Players that stay too long in midget dont get any better and are not pushed to become the best players that they can be.

    from looking at the 1000 STH to date...the Victoria Who Cares has a pretty good ring to it

    Thumbs down

    Just annouced, the team will be called the Victoria Royals. really, I hope they didn't put much money or thought into this name. really. Well, now the whl will be under supported just like the ECHL.The whl left Victoria years ago because of ownership and history looks like it will repeat itself eventually. Why does rg continue to not listen to fans. I do agree that an american league should never have come to Victoria but whl,watch us F%&$ this up.
