Posted by Hockey Fan First on 7/13/2006, 1:18 pm, in reply to "Re: Sad day: OHL giving up on T.O" If the plan was woodbine, then it was just as bad and I'm sure the OHL did not want 3 teams playing within very short distance near the airport. Hence the sale of the Ice Dogs to Melnyk and the eventual sale by Melnyk to outside interests who will move the team to another market. What a joke of a contribution to Jr Hockey by Chris Pronger and Mario Forgione....This makes the OHL look bush if you ask me.
70.30.234.34
I don't think the OHL board of governers would have approved the sale if it was temporary...He's selling the Ice Dogs and moving the Majors to Mississauga where the connection to St.Michael's is really meaningless. Toronto will lose their OHL team and the GTA will have one less OHL team without a team in downtown. END OF STORY. This will not be temporary.
