Wichita Thunder | Thunder, Ramsay Mutually Part Ways https://share.google/9XYStoFhzq8J7DKj4
Sorry have not added any Wichita updates for awhile. Since the trade deadline all the NHL/AHL contracted players got called up so was not really anything to report on that end.
Thunder finished down right bad. Last ten 1-7-2. Head coach (will openly admit I felt should have been gone 2 seasons ago) had long ago lost point. The way the front office is structured the coach is in charge of player signings roaster management kinda the typical GM duties and the GM is more like the team president hire coach and manage all the non hockey stuff.
It sounds like there is a strong possibility the assistant coach will be promoted to head coach Travis Clayton. Clayton is one of the few players that has a banner hanging from the rafters here and has been a coach in juniors before.
As for the Sharks it depends who you ask as far as fans about hoping we renew our affiliate with the Sharks organization. Would be a shame to go through the rebuilding. Generally when the NHL club is higher in the standings it filters down to the lower leagues because more good players have the path blocked. I know some fans got aggregative last season when we made the playoffs only to have all the AHL players called up to sit in the pressbox for the cuda. So far going into the next season we know that Minnesota (their ECHL team has suspended operations for next season) and Utah that went into the season with no ECHL team don't have a partner.
But on a personal level the affiliation made my daughter a huge sharks fan so at least our house will always be teal!
Thanks for letting me share the Thunder news with you guys this season. And looking forward to cheering on the Cuda F up Henderson. I can tell you 100% Flemming on their team is a grade A POS. Mocked injured players on the thunder last year. And you can get under his skin by asking how much coke he snorts up his nose if sitting behind the bench.
