Don't be too sure there Outsider .. stay tuned ..
Why do GFW need those two players? Both are now starring on their local teams, neither live in or are from Grand Falls Windsor so their only incentive would be to go back for money. Why can’t the Cats replace those two with local players? I’m sure they can find a couple guys in the Central Intermediate league to replace them. That would the sensible solution; grow your teams through local guys.
How many players on the Caribous are from Clarenville?
Here is the Clarenville line-up from their season opener on 15 Nov. 19:
Kenny Mahoney 1 1 2 0 0 0 0 0
Mason Reid 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0
Tyler Whittle 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 2
Jeremy Masters 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4
Justin Pender 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2
Mike Dyke 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Josh St George 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Rodney Mahoney 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Andrew Smith 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Chad Earle 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Dustin Flight 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Dustin Russell 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Grant Ellis 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Lucas Goobie 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Lyndon Goobie 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Redmond Hunt 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Curtis March 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Andrew Murley 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Players not from Clarenville or their territorial area:
Kenny Mahoney
Justin Pender
Mike Dyke
Rodney Mahoney
Chad Earle
Redmond Hunt
Thats 6 out of 18 guys who are not local to Clarenville or within the territorial area of the Caribous. Lots of young guys from the area getting a shot. Nothing wrong with it.
Here is the Cataracts line-up from game five of the Herder:
Nicklas Lindstrom 0 2 2 0 0 0 0 2
Michael Brent 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0
Patrick Yetman 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0
Alex Dalley 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0
Andre Gill 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0
Kyle McGuirk 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2
Rodi Short 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2
Michael Cole 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2
Sammy Hounsell 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2
David Byrne 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Jason Saunders 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
A.J. Whiffen 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Greg Hoffe 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Shawn Loveridge 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Danny Wicks 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Brandon Bussey 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Bradley Lewis 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Jason Stone 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Andrew Brennan 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Stephen Simms 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Guys not Grand-Falls Windsor or their territorial area:
Nicklas Lindstrom
Patrick Yetman
Kyle McGuirk
Rodi Short
Michael Cole
Sammy Hounsell
Danny Wicks
Brandon Bussey
Andrew Brennan
Stephen Simms
Thats half the team not from the area.
Why do the Cataracts need Simms, Bussey, and Lindstrom back? They have all committed to other teams that need them far more than the Cataracts do. The Cataracts can give a game to some young guys from the area the same as Clarenville have done. Isn't this about growing and fostering senior hockey provincially and making it viable for all teams?
