When has HO removed a GM for missing 1 off season task before? If anything Kelowna should catch a cap penalty or forfeit a draft pick. The termination of his job is way overboard and should be open for an appeal.

I also want to bring up the fact that that was a season and half ago. Surely someone in HO should be held responsible for that? If a GM makes an error or misses a task the punishment should be as prompt as possible. I don't want to attack anyone in HO as most of those there now are relatively new but I think that should speak for the lack of attentiveness that the SMJHL HO has shown the past few seasons, which I think is frankly not good enough. If you hold your teams and GMs to such a high standard, HO should hold themselves to a similar standard.

Alright I'm not going to comment on the first point as we're currently in the appeals process. But I will talk about the second point. Yes this should have been caught earlier and yes HO hasn't been perfect the last few seasons, this is something I'm working on. This upcoming offseason I'll be rewriting the offseasons task to ensure everything is done correctly and on time, this will now include the deposit of player pay. I will make sure that everything is checked by HO.
