Guest Low Roller Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Doug Gilmour has been hired as head coach of the Kingston Frontenacs in the Ontario Hockey League. One step closer to managing the Leafs I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 We'll see if he lasts. The owner of the Fronts is a notorious meddler and he's fired some good ones already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 First off Roller, dont forget that Kirk Muller had exactly ONE YEAR as head coach of the Queens Golden Gaels before landing a job with the Habs.And Jaimoe I ask you this. Who are these good coaches this notoriously meddling owner has fired?Since 1997 there have been 5 coaches. Obviously you must not be referring to Larry Mavety as one of them because he has always been around, so look at the ones we are dealing with.Greg BignellJim HultonBruce Cassidy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badams Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Jim Hulton is the only good coach among them. He led the team to the playoffs in two of his 3 years. In the other year they missed the playoffs by one point and actually had more points than any team in OHL history to not make the playoffs. Hulton is now an assistant coach with the Florida Panthers. Hiring Gilmour is an attempt by the owners to draw more people to the box office. The owners after firing Hulton said they wanted an experienced NHL coach anf then brought in Cassidy. He had a little experience with Washington and the players hated him in Kingston. Maverty is a whole other beast. He obviously has something dirty on the owners because there is no other reason for him to be around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 I meant Hulton more than anyone, but Cassidy has had success in various levels of pro hockey as a coach and assistant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Varying success at best.How do you know Larry Mavety wasnt the one to make the call in Kingston to have him fired? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 It could have been Mavety, but he is "buddies" with the owners, so anything is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
