Will Fort Erie be able to retain their young talent?

Post by Port hockey1 »

Aurora 06/01/16 ADD Lachance, Brayden (G) added to team
Cobourg 06/01/16 ADD Martin, Bryce (D) added to team

Two gone so far, if they get most of their core back they should be in good shape though. I've heard that they've committed to a couple of young kids already for next season.

What can you say about Fort Erie . Most Golden Horseshoe fans have a soft spot for Fort Erie.
But every year for years Fort Erie always finishes near the bottom.
They do a Great job of finding young talent. But keeping young talent is the problem.
I know people on this forum will say this is good . We are a development league.
But is the Ontario Junior A League that much better. Something to talk about at a later date.
The other problem they have is keeping there older skilled players. They trade them away for cash and 16 year old cards.
Or they want out like Delcan Conway last year (Chatham). They traded for Manny Manns and he ends up jumping to the GMHL(Whalers).
This is just a few examples there's lots through the years. It's just one big circle year after year for years. There's one way to change this.
That's is to win more games and more of winning commitment.
But they seem to be happy with being a farm team.
