Oh god, him and mitch are home boys. For those of you that don't know who this guy is, hes one of our main guys when it comes to OHL scouting, he has a lot of in's with the london knights and stuff like that.
Lindsay shouldn't fear the public service and drinking programs, he should fear the wrath of what awaits him back at HQ. Lou and the boys won't take too kindly to this, looks like robidas island is growing more and more with each passing day these days.

Didn't read the article. Sounds like a joke
luckily for him our scouting has been good lately. I think this gets him off the hook

Ton of guys could easily steal his job though. He's only been around for a year in his current role (and one more as a scout), and his job is not as important when the Leafs have people in higher places with OHL scouting experience: Paliafito, (Dubas) and Hunter. One of them could just take on his job, or easily find someone more than qualified to do the same thing. Paliafito and Hunter already do part of his job, and at best he's responsible for a ton of picks many people do not like.
If this is true, his rope is pretty damn short right now.

This is me, and Hunter is his boss, who have to vouch to Lou on his behalf.
As long as its not a recurring thing, or affects his job-I don't care.
This.
Shanny and the Godfather will not be pleased. His only hope is Hunter convincing them it was a one and done incident.
Everyone makes mistakes but this was a litany of errors and simply very stupid. Anyone who is going to be around these young players are all expected to to publicly be beyond reproach in their conduct.
The Wrath of Lou beckons........

Man I feel bad for the guy. We've all been there just maybe not on that level. It would suck for him to lose a dream job because of this incident.
He is just expressing his happiness, 3 drafts of being able to actually scout real hockey players and not trying to figure out how to scout for Pugnacity and testosterone and most importantly not having to sit through watching Tyler Biggs types

Not sure this is his "dream job", from my understanding he had to be given a pretty hard sell to come on board.
Without Lindsay, the Hunter/Marner connection is non existent.
Hofford is widely known for his Pro Hockey Development camps that have been running forever.

"Druken rampage" seems a little over dramatic.

Got to remember, we're getting bits from a police report most likely. Fact is, he was drunk and drove a golf cart. Wasn't like this was grand thief auto. He hit another vehicle could mean anything. Did he purposely try pushing against a 44" mud tire on some 4x4? Did he hit another golf cart that tried to cut him off and he couldn't avoid it? Leaving the 'scene' of an accident? Could of been such a nothing that nobody would of bothered. No harm, no foul. Unsafe lane change? I would guess the list of charges don't add up to the severity of the crime. Although overall, he's probably he's not black or the cops would of shot him.

what if he loses his driving licence?, don't know about Canada but in Australia you can lose your drivers licence for driving anything under the influence. a mate of mine was burning around on a motorized scooter and lost his haha.
Any way if hofford lost his licence he essentially loses his job if he cant drive from rink to rink
Not at all. His travel expenses would just go from gas and insurance to lots of uber rides. Considering he's an OHL guy, he could probably catch rides with scouts he knows from the Knights/other teams.
However, considering his career involved constant travel, I highly doubt a judge will permanatley take away his liscense or take it away for a significant amount of time, for driving a golf cart under the influence.
He'll face a hefty fine, but he won't lose anything.
What an idiot. Doubt that he'll be fired, but when we talk about being "real good pro's" this is exactly the sort of **** that is high up on the "Do not do" list. Hope he learns his lesson and doesn't make a similar mistake in the future. Idiot.
