SILVERKINGS GM HAS ADVICE FOR NEW CHARLOTTE COUNTY TEAM

BLACKS HARBOUR SILVERKINGS GENERAL MANAGER ANDY MORAN reacts to news that the Port City Thrashers are coming to St. Andrews...


"It's good for the rivalry and great for the league. They better get tough
if they want to play Charlotte County Hockey.
"A couple of weeks ago I was
sending e-mails back and forth to Murray Knox when the Thrashers were first
thinking about making the move and I told him the style of hockey you're
playing isn't going to work down our way, and he said 'what do you mean?'
and I said, because you guys have no toughness, you go up and down the
rink, you don't check, you don't take penalties, that's not what people
want to see. It's senior A hockey. If you want to go to the bingo hall
it's next door."
