Minor Hockey Talks - Hockey Forum

The Hyman family purchasing the Brantford Bulldogs is huge news. This move has the potential to be a real game-changer for the team and the OHL as a whole. What kind of impact do you think an NHL star owning a major junior team will have? Will this attract more young talent to Brantford? Could this lead to more NHL players investing in the OHL?

I predict this will spark a new trend of current and former NHLers buying OHL teams. It makes you wonder, what other players might we see following in the Hymans footsteps? Could this increase the level of competition within the OHL? How might this affect the development of young players? Lets discuss the potential pros and cons. I'm curious to hear everyone's thoughts.
