Default Yotes GM rides into sunset

Yes, it is true, I am stepping down as the Coyotes GM. First off I'd like to thank everyone in and around the league for some really great times.

I have started a new job and do not have the chance to be online as much as I'd like/need to be. I also don't have my laptop at home so being online at night is very unlikely (sitting with Daddy in the basement on the PC doesn't fly well with my almost 2 year old son). I'd also like to apologize for the lack of "live" time on MSN, there have been more than a few messages where I was logged in but wasn't physically sitting in front of the PC, therefore I didn't get to respond, sorry.

As a 2 time winner of best poster, I feel like crap when I'm lacking in posts. If I can't put the time in I feel is necessary to make decent posts I don't feel I deserve to be a GM.

I haven't even been able to put the time into even getting my roster up to snuff for the pre-season. There are some issues the new GM must address and for that I apologize to the league and that person in advance. I've hopefully put a decent Goalie-defense tandem together but the forwards need work.

So yeah, I think it's best if I step aside and allow someone the opportunity to run the team like it deserves. It was mentioned that there are a few good GMs in the wings so I hope what I've started to build gets the chance to shine.

Crappy but necessary,
HD

I know it was a tough decision for you to make, as you do enjoy the league. It was fun having you around and we'll certainly miss your posts during the season. All the best and hopefully you can still find time to be on the main board!

***steals a minute online while on break***

Thanks for all the well wishes. I really appreciate them, it isn't easy leaving the CPHL.
