Wasn't there some kind of agreement where Strombo would be the host of HNIC and MacLean was going to be given Hometown Hockey?
Strangely enough, I think that role suits Ron the best. I didn't always care for the stories and topics for HH, but Ron could drone on about the fall of the Byzantine Empire while waxing poetry about some relation to Timmins or Campbell River.
The contract thing may have been true, but I also think MacLean has a lot of sway and likely wasn't happy being shuffled to the B show.
