Sorry I don’t agree that the 2 team CIHL league will head to the GMHL. There is no way on this god’s green earth that Clayden will ever give up his power to Russell. None.
I believe Russon stroked the GMHL to either drive business (readers) to his website or he is attempting to lure GMHL teams to advertise on his site. Let’s face it, he’s burned his bridges with the NOJHL and save and except a handful of US and OHL teams, there’s not much else he reports on anymore that garners a huge response from his readers. Of course every so often, he’ll pull the tried and true tactic of bashing the NOJHL and then allowing his internet troll buddies to fan the flames. He's all about his website traffic. I believe he's feeling the affects of putting all his eggs in one CIHL basket and is now attempting to diversify by ingratiating himself to the GMHL.
As for adding “hockey academy†to the league’s name trying to hide from this season's epic fail, it reminds me of an old saying…."it’s like trying to put lipstick on a pig….it’s still a pig"
