Sad news indeed. Thoughts go out to his friends and family (including his 'Rangers' family).

I'll always think of Don at any Rangers game I watch or listen to. We Rangers fans had the beautiful benefit of listening to one of the greatest, classiest, down to earth and talented gentlemen call our games. I'll miss seeing him at games but I think his presence will always be felt at the Audand wherever the Rangers play.

Talked to Don at practice a few times in the past. Not many had more knowledge of OHL hockey than Don. He loved the players and you would never want to say anything negative about a player when he was around.
What an amazing career. Started doing broadcasts in 1956 if I read correctly.
Ranger fans are going to miss this legend.

I think Don got me interested in hockey. I remember listening to him on the radio as a mere child. Did not actually meet him until he retired. A charitable man, it was at one of the Aud entrances during Potato night. I do hope they keep this going in his memory. A legend that got an obit on TSN. Rest in Peace, Mr. Cameron.
I hope this doesn't interrupt the memories we have all be sharing all day. I did up a a Rangers Prospects update for those who need a little cheering up. Writing it helped me get through the day

Thank you to Don Cameron for the passion, professionalism and class he
brought to every day. He will remain an inspiration for anyone who is
given the privilege to speak into a microphone.
Looks like Joseph Serpa will be spending a season down in Junior B. The Rookie Center has signed a 16 year old card to play with the Waterloo Siskins.
With Bunns expected to graduate, he are my thoughts and candidates on who the next captain should be.

I suspect this could be a numbers game for Serpa with the OHL rules of being able just to have our sixteen yr olds on the team (yes, this can be massged to get him into games). I thought he was one of the better players in the Gold Cup back in May.
Other 16 yr old players signed by the Rangers: Valade and Langdon.
16 yr old draftees who could slide in front of Serpa if they sign: Serbrango and McDonnell

The public can pay respect to Don Cameron during visitation at the Aud this coming Thursday June 14th from 5:00pm to 9:00pm.
A private visitation is being held Friday.

He still likely signs with the Rangers, could even crack the team out of camp. The nice thing is, there is no pressure now won either party. Rangers have options with him now, they've got a local junior b team to send him too.
I am excited to see what he can do in Junior B on a team that is making a push!
Serpa needs at least a year in Jr B. Very slight player who’d get banged up as a first year ohl rookie

I agree with this. Watched him at the Gold Cup. He certainly has some skill but his size is a concern presently. Rangers will have quite a few smaller players going into next season and for me could use an injection of size when you look at the players we lost to graduation.
Definitely would like to see some sandpaper added up front. Lost a lot of our hitters besides little Petizian this offseason.
A strong forecheck is key, and IMO guys that can lay big hits are very valuable at the OHL level.
Example: Sherwood and Smith last season, Bunnaman sometimes

And, can the import draft at least be sooner, missing the games already. Craving some more news
Edit: Josh Brown says Jake Henderson is going to Ryerson this upcoming season. (Yeah, I’m desperate for news)

I wish these announcements were more prevalent since it can be a very useful tool in recruiting players.
Having a wall with CIS Rangers grads on it would be interesting to see. Maybe even have an award (Jim Quinn Award??) or some sort of recognition upon their graduation for university/college or a trade!
