But I think that you aren't getting my point. What did Kane do in the OHL to deserve this honour? Don't get me wrong, he had a great season and has had a great NHL career but I'm not sure that his career in the OHL is worthy of this.

Disagree....kid still learning, and will be a fun player to watch over these next 2 seasons

Cuylle takes a spill near the benches, get challenged to by Donovan Sebrango... and away they go at center. Nice toe-to-toe tilt with Cuylle getting the upper hand. They hug it out to end it. That was fun.
It's up to London to decide whether they deem what he did in the OHL acceptable of retiring his number. His numbers were out of this world and you can make the case he opened the door for a wave of NTDP guys coming to the CHL. There were a few here and there before him but after him more have certainly come this year. Like I said I probably wouldn't retire his number but you also brought up Luke Boka and he is a mere footnote. Those two were apples and oranges the only two things they have in common is playing in the OHL and being american citizens.

Not quite sure what you’re up to Pro12345. Perhaps just a little troll through the woods.
Not a huge fan of Foudy myself but as a player, at this stage I’d say he’s not unlike Bracco. I suspect the Spits would love to have 3-4 guys of his ability.
The best thing I like about the prospects game is how evenly distributed the talent is on both sides. Hopefully it's an eye opener to many players as they play against a entire team that is just as good as themselves. Even some of the highest rated players just look average. Reality check that to make it to the next level is going to be difficult to say the least.

Former sixth-round pick (2018) Christian Stevens has signed with the NB Battalion. Windsor dealt him to Niagara, who then dealt him to NB.

It appears Stevens should play the 1 game qualifier that Spits received for Stevens from Niagara... In return, the Spitfires received a conditional 15th-round draft pick in 2023 that turns into a sixth-round pick in 2022 if Stevens plays one game for Niagara.

Certainly he won’t play 1 game for Niagara. Doubt very much Niagara could get away without paying the piper. Wee Davie wouldn’t allow that. BTW part of the deal saw NBay send a 6th round pick to Niagara...

Apparently Windsor will get that 6th rounder according to Parker back on Jan 10th.
The only deal Friday with a connection with the Spitfires was Niagara dealing the rights to Christian Stevens and two picks to North Bay for Cameron Peters and a draft pick. Windsor traded the rights to Stevens, who has a verbal commitment to UMass Amherst for 2021-22, to Niagara last year for conditional sixth-round pick in 2022. The Spitfires will get that pick if Stevens reports to North Bay.

Oshawa in Owen Sound was just cancelled; not exactly a place you want to be in this kind of weather, either. I know that from experience haha (OS is fun, though!)
Long debate on the London board as well. Totally agree with you but I think it was Mark Hunter in an article laid out the requirements in their minds for retirement of a jersey and a players NHL career is a major factor in their minds. Also they own the team so in their defence it’s their call. Totally agree with Razor these ceremonies are out of control all it is to me normally is a delay to the start of the game.

It was probably part of the deal to join the LK. Pretty sure Kane will be picking up his hush money cheque after being honoured.

Without getting into the usual "nobody showed up again, what a surprise!" pointless banter... I wouldn't be surprised if this game has a lower crowd. The snow was ugly last night and the city isn't really cleared up. Probably not the best weather to go out and about in.
