And yet an other reason to NOT attend a cougar hockey game.
Why would you trade a home boy-Now there is no reason for the home crowd to go to a home game.
Management is driving this team into the ground so they can pack up and leave and say it was not there fault.
Management could not of done anything clearer or stupider.

I think Nick Drazenovic proved that it takes more than a hometown kid to bring people out to the games. Do what's best for the team... time will tell if they made the right move or not.
