One is 6-5 and 238 lbs. Wow.More goalies than I expected..in fact more prospects than I expected
Not sure that’s a good thing when the biggest guy in the camp is a goalieOne is 6-5 and 238 lbs. Wow.

If he was playing for the Pistons and his Last name was O’Neal lol7’-1””, 345 lbs would be better

With as many pucks as I've seen fly over the shoulders of Brent Moran, Garrett Forrest and Emanuel Vella over the last few years 6-5 238 sounds good to me. I really hope 1 or 2 of those kids we don't expect to push for a spot. There's a couple returnees I could see doing it but I wouldn't put money on it right now. Also, I'm not exactly thrilled to see Kyle Branch's name atop the scouts list and McParlan gone. OHL (Ontario Hipocracy League) indeed.Not sure that’s a good thing when the biggest guy in the camp is a goalie

He is atop the scouts list but it looks like its in alphabetical order to me. Probably nothing to important, here's a few thousand dollars. I wouldn't think too much of it.
He (Kyle Branch) shouldn't even be on that list. He, along with his brother is in Flint because of his father. You tell me who's credentials should be in Flint, someone like McParlan or "who's your daddy?" Where's the integrity in this organization?

pretty sure B. Branch is in Flint mostly due to G.Burnett, whom he worked with/assisted from 2000-2016 in Oshawa, Belleville/Hamilton. Call it old boys club if you must, no different than any other organization really.
No. I really think Burnett wanted to coach again. He has done a great job improving the team he took over for.No different than any other organization, really? Supply me with a list of organizations where the owner is under suspension and the GM reports to the league commissioner......who happens to be his own father.
Burnett wanted out, left and has an OHL Championship, Gruden was forced out, left and has an OHL Championship......B. Branch is still around and has two last (10th place) conference finishes.

Did you twist the meaning of my post so you’d have an avenue to air out your feelings? You cannot possibly expect to be thought of as honest and objective if you deny the presence of some form of old boys club and/or nepotism in all organizations of all types. Quite simply, people work with those they trust and share common beliefs; and, they hire those people's children because they know the apple does not fall far from the tree.
Without doing any research, I can give you some obvious examples. The cowboys, raiders, yankees, knights, ice dogs have/have had owners, GMs, coach(s), scouts all having the same last name. The wolves would be a good example of old boys club. GM, coach, assistant coach, scouts all had ties from their time with the Carolina hurricanes.
So if Branch worked along side with Burnett for so long (as you so stated 2000-2016) why did he not follow George to Guelph when Burnett left Flint? That was no "old boys club", that was a "my daddy" told me to stay in Flint club.
You can't IGNORE what Branch has done in Flint for the two years that he has been here......two DISMAL last place conference finishes. I guarantee you that even a person with absolutely no hockey experience could have led this team to dead last in the conference.
I can't wait to hear you singing the praises of Guelph and Hamilton this year. Or next year. You can mark this post and save it if you like. Flint will finish ahead of both this year. And next.So if Branch worked along side with Burnett for so long (as you so stated 2000-2016) why did he not follow George to Guelph when Burnett left Flint?
