I've said it in a different thread and I'll say it again here. He missed 1 GM task before his leave of absence. 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.
