One Year Of Darche

#NYC #NYI #isles One year of Darche. I want to be positive but but can't be. There were too many tone deaf decisions that scream this is not the job for him. Nice man, friendly. Hockey sense/judgement badly lacking.
Sorry.

#NYC #NYI #isles All those Dolan/Oakview 2015 people, and Tom Pistore, they want to market that Fisherman any way they can until NYI relocate entirely.

#NYC #NYI #isles Priceless Cheeseman who began work here on 11.1.25 is the face of a move made in June 2025 when he was working for Kings. Oakview runs this franchise now, Belmont's next on the relocation list because of awful fan support.

Sorry gang, no point keeping Bridgeport/Worcester images up if they only link to Hamilton/or whoever Worcester picks as it's new affiliate. Will come up with something. The Sandy Hook tribute with all be there.

#NYC #NYI #isles Don't be shocked if Darche flat out resigns sending mascot Martin today. Dolan's Oakview cronies, runs this franchise. Lamoriello can't stay away, Collins/Cheeseman job is to sell Fisherman jersey's to 4,000 Nassau/Suffolk people on pardoned criminal Leiweke plan

It was clear the agreement with Worcester was likely not going to be renewed this time, and I wrote about this enough, want to see the length of this agreement. I will update the prospect site with the changes.

Trenton is a new ECHL affiliate with no association to their past names or time with the NYI affiliation. here.
