Originally posted by Bradz View PostGee Chuck do you think that will affect his recruiting ability?
How many fat D-1 or NHL hockey coaches can you name? Bruce Boudreau is the one (1) who comes to mind for me, and he's a generation older than Fortier. He's also out of coaching right now, too. Guys like him and Barry Trotz have gotten a little bit pudgy as they've approached their 60's. That happens. Fortier is still a relatively young man, and his is not a healthy look in an elite athletic setting.
To the guy before that who posted about "fat shaming" ... ease up, snowflake. Or go play with your kind in the Cafe/faculty lounge. Bradz and myself may end up disagreeing, but at least he's not ignoring the reality that your new top assistant looks like he just ate a bag of pucks for lunch ...Sworn Enemy of the Perpetually Offended

I think and hope he is a good choice to compliment what Barr wants to do.

Originally posted by Bradz View PostChuck, allow me to provide you with a few facts. Even when Trotz was thinner he still snored, which could be a problem with Fortier if extra weight has something to do with snoring but it also could be hereditary since Fortier is from Sault Ste. Marie so if Fortier can recruit, and there is no evidence he can't, weight won't be an issue and the only problem Barr will have is budgeting the extra room on the road.
Fortier is in his mid-40's and was a player in Juniors, college (Canada) and low level pro in Europe only 20 years ago, in fact he was briefly a teammate of Darren Haydar's older brother Jeff with Milton Merchants in the mid-'90's. So I'm guessing the extra poundage is a recent development in his life. Maybe he embraced the sedentary nature of the office part of his most recent hockey jobs too much? Even spotting Trotz 15 years, he makes Trotz look like Manute Bol by comparison.
But you're right ... if he can recruit at this new level, the rest of it is moot. I guess I'm just not used to seeing successful fat hockey coaches at the higher levels of play. Maybe he'll be a pioneer ...Sworn Enemy of the Perpetually Offended

Excellent news. I wonder if they are going to announce a player or two each day this week? Would think we would hear something on Dockery, Gould, and Renwick as well.
Edit: Fawcett and Herbert are on the roster now too.
Always a good attribute.
