I guess this is a question for VHF.

I saw Maxie walking his dog down Quadra St. His he still with team? I thought he was canned. Did he get a management position perhaps?

Not with team, but he may be living off his settlement/remainder of contract. I believe he owns a newish townhouse at Quadra and Rogers.

I would love to The Salmon Kings on radio or Television. Say on something like CFAX 1070 or A Channel.

Televised away games would be awesome, though I would easily settle for a radio broadcast.

I can usually get tix for $12 (regular walk-up rate is $21).

NO CHARGES AGAINST VICTORIA SALMON KINGS
Feb 9, 2007

THE VICTORIA SALMON KINGS HOCKEY TEAM IS BREATHING A SIGH OF RELIEF TODAY NOW THAT CROWN COUNSEL SAYS THEY WILL NOT BE FILING CHARGES AFTER SEXUAL ASSAULT ALLEGATIONS AGAINST SEVERAL PLAYERS LAST FALL.

CROWN SAYS THE EVIDENCE IN THE REPORT WASN'T ENOUGH FOR THE LIKELYHOOD OF A CONVICTION.

CROWN SPOKESPERSON STAN LOWE SAYS WHILE THE POLICE REPORT WAS COMPREHENSIVE, POLICE DIDN'T NECESSARILY RECOMMEND CHARGES.

"when they submit materials they do highlight provisions of the code that they submit that the investigation was targetted towards, but uh, in some instances they may specifically recommend it but most instances they know that the final decision or the decision is up to the criminal justice branch."

LOWE SAYS CROWN HAS MET WITH THE PARTIES INVOLVED AND HAS INFORMED THE TEAM.

"crown counsel met with investigators on the file, explained our decision to them, they are in agreement with our decision. Prosecutors have also met with the complainant, explained our decision to her."

THE SALMON KINGS ARE ON THE ROAD TONIGHT IN IDAHO.

^ I think they'd need to be very deep into the playoffs before we get a sell-out, I'm afraid.

What is the biggest crowd so far? The stats I alwasy see in the paper seem to be in the 4000 range which if I remember was the break even amount...

Biggest crowd ever was just over 6200 I think, opening night LAST year. This year 4600 or so has been the top, except opening night that was 4883.

I've had it with people complaining about sports teams. I don't watch sports, have never even bought a ticket but I know enough to realize,

-half the teams in a league will have winning records, half will have losing ones.

-the culture states that anything short of a championship is losing. A hockey team is rarely called a Conference Champion. They're called Stanley Cup losers. Therefore, to be a sports fan is to become well-associated and deeply immersed in losing. And losing lots.

-Building a championship team often involves massive injections of short-term cash and selling future draft picks. This makes sustaining a winning team over the long term virtually impossible. Thus, the despair and hand-wringing often start the morning after the championship win.

My advice is to sit back and enjoy the game, cheer excellence and tenacity and boo laziness and indifference. Treat the playoffs as a reward, not a right. Oh, and don't curse in front of kids, asshole.

Well said except, there is no draft in minor-pro hockey like the ECHL, SPHL, UHL and CHL.

^ 5 at home, and 8 total. We are so close to making the playoffs. Attendance went over 5000 one game this last weekend.

Good stuff.
