That's really tough, but I'd like to see something like (assuming that Lominac does find his role): Miller - Schenk - Peddle Reynolds - Mateiko - Beveridge Rozzi - Yared - Lominac Calder - Groulx - Beaulieu Cross Dube Bilodeau - Mann Tivey - Scanzano Amyot - Duhamel MacLean Bonnet Caputo Gravel Robinson Beveridge is definitely out. He will not return Dube I think will start as a regular so he will go in the mix Lominac is now signed so he is in the mix now for sure. Peddle and Mateiko have been paired in alot of practices, so I expect them on a line. (Schenk has been put up there with them on occasion in practice) Dube and Miller are both classed as centerman, and Groulx as a wing but Groulx has been playing center this year in a lot of the preseason and practice. We usually only carry 8 defenseman during the season, so they are most likely waiting an what is going to happen with Mann. (Bonnet or Caputo may be the odd man out). Maclean has earned his stripes and is becoming more stable defenseman so he may make his way into a steady lineup. Also, Billy Kollias name has been added to the roster as well from Blainville. Mateiko - Peddle - Schenk Reynolds - Dube - Miller Rozzi - Yared - Lominac Calder - Groulx - Beaulieu Cross Bilodeau - Mann? Tivey - Scanzano Amyot - Duhamel MacLean (Bonnet, Caputo) Gravel Robinson I don't believe that Bonnet or Caputo is eligible to be re-assigned until Christmas because the CEGEP deadline has passed.

Not sure on what the rules are on that, and how it works really. The 2024/25 QMJHL rules and regulations book is public, but has nothing listed on these rules and regulations. Anyone have access to the league rules and regulations as it relates to topics like this?

Some great marketing initiatives in here. The $20 all in is a great idea. Food deals like 2 for 1's...limited edition merch...excellent ideas Selling the 50/50 ahead of time to generate some hype...never a bad idea. Always interesting to see how teams handle marketing early in a year. I think these should all combine to bring some folks in early in the year.

I have similar lines with couple differences: Mateiko - Peddle - Miller Reynolds - Groulx - Schenk Rozzi - Yared - Lominac Calder - Dube - Beaulieu Cross Bilodeau - Mann? Tivey - MacLean Amyot - Duhamel Scanzano,Bonnet,Caputo for MacLean and Duhamel 1- Gravel 2- Robinson

Tivey - MacLean Amyot - Duhamel Scanzano,Bonnet,Caputo for MacLean and Duhamel 1- Gravel 2- Robinson I like those line combos too but I guess one thing we have to think about, considering all the line combinations of the greats, Centers are the playmakers and backbone of the line, responsible for setting up scoring opportunities and driving the game offensively. They should excel in two-way play, balancing offense with defensive responsibilities, and often lead in faceoffs and puck possession. They have to have excellent hockey sense and adapt to various roles, making them crucial to the line’s success. The great wingers that play on those lines, are primarily finishers, using their speed and positioning to capitalize on scoring opportunities created by the center. They complement the center’s play through strong offensive instincts, net-front presence, and puck retrieval, contributing to the line as a whole. They should also provide defensive support, often playing a versatile role that shifts between physicality and scoring. You really have to look at the player and try and fit them or build them to these roles unless it's a natural fit. Chemistry is key. Saying this and the description above, who would be your 4 centers? Playmakers IMO ( Mateiko, Dube, Yared, maybe Schenk). When you start asking yourself this question, there are no standout playmakers at this point that lead each line. Peter Reynolds was the last great playmaker for SJ.

So the 50/50 is $9,000 and they gave every season ticket holder $20 in tickets... means 450 season ticket sales? That's horrible. And now trying to build attendance to a home opener with BOGO essentially. Not looking good for attendance.

Also Donald Hickey the Rookie Goaltender has shown impressive results early on along with 2 solid seasons outside the Q. If he is in the net, will he continue to stop pucks. We will have to get people in front of him and not make it easy.
