Junior Hockey: the disgraceful Frontenacs

A Whig reader wrote this week to the paper that what is lacking in the Fronts organization is LEADERSHIP. How right he is.
The dismal yea of the Fronts cannot be attributed to the athletes, but rather is the responsibility of the coach.
One of these days, the owners and GM of the Fronts will realize that Doug gilmour is not a coach. As an advocate for coaches and their required eduation and training, I can say that Mr G has neither.
A good athlete does not make a good coach. We have seen that with Wayne Gretzky. He was never a good coach, and probably never will be. Wisely, he left the coach position.
The Fronts need an educated professional coach, and the management to back him up.
This is not complicated.
Look around the Junior Hockey circles in Canada, review the successful franchises, and ask yourself why they are successful.
