Wow IIHF gone to shit since I stepped down I can only apologise

You were always great in the role so it's a real shame you've called it a day imo

ahhh....the new guys are working real hard....and have done some solid things so far... this post is 1 persons view and doesnt represent everyone in the IIHF. its unfortunate that the debates that went on in a healthy group talking about changes was thrown out here in media.

Would love to see the IIHF Commishâ€™s give some feedback here.

Maybe they are letting the GMs vote on what they should say.

Pay GM's and Pay HO and pay IIHF GM's, pay people who spend hours helping this site run.

These SHL rupees aren't finite, you can't scrooge mcduck in these fictional dollars, well I mean you can but is it really fun being scrooge mcduck when youve got no jabroni's left to show off your wealth to?

Maybe give out money too easily over on the football site, but like why are people so tight with money here? It's insane that HO in this league doesn't get paid.

I mean, this isn't a press-conference, but if people on the outside have questions I can help answer them I guess Interview

Iâ€™m a little disappointed this came out in public like this, especially from a member of the HO team who prefer to deal with issues in private. These are just my opinions and are not Arty and Velveraâ€™s

Quote:1. There is no way to be completely unbiased when you are running a team, several votes have already occurred that could affect the competitiveness of certain teams and sure enough you can see the teams who are negatively impacted voting against those changes. I agree that GMs can be involved in decision making, so long as the ultimate decision is up to the Head Office, who not only should give the final decision, but should also have a vision for what they think the league should look like.

Well I sure hope there is a way to be completely unbiased as the commissioner of the SHL is a GM, and the only GM in the HO, so the potential for bias and no one disputing it is even higher. Nothing against Eggy but if we are talking bias then that should be mentioned.

Quote:
2. IIHF Commissioners are paid, GMs are not, the commissioners are paid to keep things running and make changes where needed. To me this change basically passed off work from commissioners (paid) to GMs (unpaid).

Fair point, while I donâ€™t think anyone was trying to pass the work off more than give the GMâ€™s a say, Iâ€™ve always said GMs in all three leagues deserve some sort of compensation.

Quote:3. This just isn't what I signed up for. When I took over Team Canada there was no one wanting to manage it and I stepped up to take on that responsibility. The position was to generate a roster once per season, make lines and adjust when needed, and recruit/retain players for your team. This was a great entry level position for people wanting to be a GM. Now that league wide decisions are decided by GMs I would not recommend a new player apply for the GM roles as an inexperienced player will likely not know what's best for the whole league.

This isnâ€™t what you signed up for, no one can argue that. I donâ€™t have a problem with you stepping down for those reasons. I actually agree with you that the GMs should have a voice, not a say, but I donâ€™t agree with the way you went about this. This comes off to me as a little fit because you donâ€™t like the system and instead of waiting a few days to see if the issue you brought up would be resolved, you decided to write up a media piece in hopes of embarrassing the IIHF.

Honestly I have been frustrated with IIHF since Arty took over, I was on the verge of stepping down because of it but tried to discuss it in private. Arty talked to me like all my points were invalid and when I said I would likely step down if the commissioners can't take a good hard look at this and decide how they want the league to work Arty put a vote up for GMs to decide rather than making the decision himself and sent me a pm asking if Nour was going to take over Canada. That's when I decided to go public.
