He was what, sixteen, at the time? I'm definately thinking "crybaby" as I read this post, but I'm not thinking it about Schremp.
The Ice Dogs have seen their fair share of stars come through as well as superstars. Three such superstars were Jason Spezza, Patrick O'Sullivan, and Robbie Schremp. All three were unhappy with the direction of the team: Spezza asked to be traded and played out his days until it was done; O'Sullivan stuck it out and ended up on an OHL final-bound team; Schremp demanded a trade and would only accept two teams as destinations and sat out until it happened.
Schremp, because of his whining, tremendously lowered any value he had on the trade market by sitting out and limiting his teams.
I don't care if he was 16 years old. That's inappropriate conduct for
anyone at
any age.

Why do I have this feeling that even if he ends up being an all-star in 5-10 years, we'll still be hearing about his Mississauga antics.
You're absolutely right. He left the Ice Dogs management holding the bag while he pouted and ran away, thus leaving Ice Dogs fans mad at him. You still hear about the antics of owners from NHL cities packing up and leaving in the middle of the night because it was a tremendously asinine thing to do. Same story with this kid.
I will never be a fan of his.
