'Don't buy a home here...'

No.. he should buy a home, but he make sure it has a revolving door on the front.

It would have been better had the communty based Spruce Kings landed the WHL team, rather than Brodski corp.

I think if that had happened we would have had a winning team, a profitable multiplex, and a great fund raiser for reinvetment into local hockey development. I figure its not to late, but we do have the problem of Brodski corp not knowing of any other way to make a dollar (or a few million). Brodski corp thus will stay and milk this town with a loser hockey team built on personal relationships of people they 'can trust'.

Think of it as a positive post. lol
