    I will be simulating the 2006-2007 Season because the AHL teams are messed up due to the face of all loans and etc due to roster changes.

    The Hamilton Bulldogs have announced Ron Stevens as their new GM. Being raised up in Hamilton, Ontario following the AHL when Hamilton was with Edmonton and Montreal as well as having the OHL team, it gave me an understanding of what it takes to win championships not just in the sport of hockey but in Football and Hamilton’s past of championships.

    We will be working with a partner such as Quebec Nordiques. We will get a first look for next season of what the Quebec Nordiques have in store as in June when the AHL season is over we will be ending the loans from Montreal and we will be able to make room to start developing the Quebec Nordiques future prospects.

    As the GM of the Hamilton Bulldogs which will be the development club of the Quebec Nordiques we will be looking to be to bring some youth and vets to Hamilton. With the prospects that Quebec drafts in June at the 2007 NHL draft, the UFAs that they sign, we will also be scouting players to sign to AHL contracts. My plan is to hire staff and start scouting players from OHL, WHL, QMJHL, ECHL or even CIS.

    AHL Standings and Stats for the past season:
