"Charles Apap I tried to have optimism with this league, I really did. But I am sorry, this just gets worse by the day! And I'm sick of the new league scapegoat. That would account for a few problems, but we have a damn laundry list on a scroll. It's very clear that the guys at the top of the ladder don't know what the hell they're doing. Their blatant lack of professionalism infuriates me; I'm disgusted and embarrassed. It's not fair to the legit solid ownership of certain teams, the players, or the passionate fans. It's clear to me that the league is on autopilot -- It's running itself while everyone else suffers, and it is starting to show. These bad omens lately make me very worried that the FHL is on its way to an early grave; about to suffer the same fate as the AAHL. A lot of the tell tale signs are already there; do some research and you'll see what I mean. We should not have to be at risk for and worry about losing OUR team because the league is a ticking time bomb. I've said it before, WE DESERVE BETTER."
"Jeff Henderson Occupy FHL? Works for me"
(Mike Ashley on Akwesasne vs 1000 Islands. A game that Akwesasne won 25-6)
"Mike Ashley I can see the delaware game being accepted (I guess) as there was no players from the opposing team playing for Delaware. The game tonight should not be counted towards any points stat wise. A player can not play for another team without being waived. This is complete stupidity. If the league allows these goals and points to count that would be a complete embarrassment!"
A screen cap of last nights pointstreak statistics. (http://fhl_league.stats.pointstreak.com/boxscore.html?gameid=1662485) As you can see Mike Ashley is 100% right that if this is acceptable in this league it is as he calls it an embarassment. Another commenter said the league continues to make things up as it goes...
"Karen McEachern My thing is also....what about these PLAYERS that are getting a truely raw end of the stick...they come here to play and it doesnt even seem like the FHL gives a shit about them...without these players there is nothing to begin with....have any of them played HOCKEY in there lives....I dont think they really know what the sport is....at least that is what they are showing. I think anyone else at this point could not do as bad as what they have done in 2 years...and the AAHL is coming back next year...at least the league did a better job there....they had owner problems in that league that screwed many players...this league is getting screwed by the LEAGUE THAT SO CALL RUNS IT....shameful....I think my granddaughter has a better understanding of how to run this league then any of the ones sitting on the board now"
"Jeff Henderson yeah...dunno what's sadder...that things like this happen or we as fans come to expect them to"
"Joseph Francis Or that fans will accept it. Boycott. Force reforms. Fans shouldn't be the test dummies while the league can't even get it together"
"Charles Apap They clearly have no clue what they're doing at all. I'm literally at the point where I think that a group of passionate fans like us could run things better than these ignorant (expletive). I'm convinced they really don't care at all."

Would you want to go out on the ice with the knowledge that a cheap shot may change your life forever? These kids make very little $, and are subjected to the improper management, coaching, and more so the "blind" refs. Its not about being ...a coward and not playing. If you think all this is about is honor you should open your eyes. A fast and pysical game needs strong control on the ice. The FHL lacks that control. As for owners and league officials being in the same immediate family. conflict of interest? This league has no transparancy. No itegrity. A shame to hockey.
This is just a few quotes but is representative of the growing frustration of FHL fans. I hope for players, owners and everyone involved that changes are made and that things improve in the future before the players and fans walk out.
