First of all, I would like to thank Alex a billion times fold for the opportunity. You are a loyal friend and I am so proud to call you my brother.
I would like to thank the Head Office for allowing me the opportunity and my Renegades teammates for being so loyal and amazing during my time here. I look forward to serving all of you.
Finally, thank you to the SHL for the constant amount of respect I get from you guys and the love I receive. You are all truly a family to me and i'm so excited to be able to be in this capacity again.
I have a few things I'd like to say and announce.
<div align="center">1) Alex will remain as Co-GM</div>
Alex has been a loyal friend to me for many years now and he has done an amazing job with the Renegades. He can teach me a lot and I want him to be able to finish what he started as well. I look forward to building a dynasty with Alex by my side. Thank you again for being an amazing human being during my time with the Renegades.
<div align="center">2) I will be announcing some new jobs for Renegades players</div>
I remember when I first entered the league, I was given the opportunity to GM the Vancouver Whalers and that jumpstarted my resume into getting the Los Angeles Panthers in expansion. I want more people on this site to be able to build their resume's and taste what it's like to be in a more involved role on their team.
I will be including some new jobs such as:
1) Head Amateur Scout
2) Head Pro Scout
3) Lines Specialist / Coach
4) Budget Specialist/Capologist
Amongst other roles. This will help the team have a more included approach to management and give some other guys something to put on their resume when applying for future GM jobs. I would love to see everybody get a chance to do this one day!
<div align="center">3) Alex did not Rage Quit.</div>
Contrary to what was said before, Alex did not Rage Quit. We had agreed to do this about a week or so ago before playoffs even started, but wanted to wait until playoffs were over to announce.
<div align="center">4) There will be a Renegades culture change</div>
I think as you all know, i'm a very level-headed guy. I want to build this team with character members and character players.
The Renegades have been notorious for being the "Bad Boys" of the SHL. Now as much as I enjoy the healthy trash-talk, I will never be one to tolerate or condone my players engaging themselves violently or childishly around the boards.
I know you can't change an image overnight, but I want the league to know that as long as I am the GM of this team, I will not tolerate some of the things we've been known to do around here and i'm looking to help repair the image of this team.
The Renegades are a very tight-knit group in the locker rooms. We have a great group of guys who truly love each other and it's like a family in there. We need to learn to conduct ourselves better outside of the boards, and I promise this league that we will learn to do that. Those who are not on board with that will be kindly asked to play elsewhere.
<div align="center">5) Deener-Gold Agency will now be dispelled.</div>
Thank you so much to all my loyal clients and I sure hope I did the best job for you that I possibly could.
I'm so sorry our stay was short but I loved all of you for giving me the opportunity and that was awesome. I highly recommend any of the other agencies, as I know for a fact Gorlab and Joker do a fantastic job. Thank you guys again for allowing me to experience that, and as much as I can in a GM role here i'm willing to continue to give you guys help any time you need it and to be a friend like you were to me.
I'm willing to take any questions, and thank you guys so much again for the opportunity.
Love,
Deener.
