Went to the town hall on Wednesday night. Mike Moore, Mike Board, Dan Taylor and Sean Tyrrell.
First two questions were about Dobbie, firm no comment from management. Sean Tyrrell indicated that DD would still be around the team, talked about listening to what he has to say between halves. Talked about the big breaks in the schedule and the back to back next weekend. Apparently their flight lands at 18:15 on the 28th after playing in San Diego the night before. They play at 20:00. Tight turn. The 19:30 starts this season are to accommodate early games on BR Live, basically they are trying to pick up viewership on a doubleheader. (As an aside, I really appreciate the BR Live subscription they give STH. I use it a ton for road games)
They'd like to see an Edmonton team eventually but they are happy being "Alberta's team". There was a meeting between all the west division teams before the season to share best practices and exchange ideas. Sounds like the new league leadership is really gaining some traction.
All in all a good session, super pumped for the banner raising tonight.
