The Vipers should retire Jagger Williamson's jersey #11
ReplyDeleteDo you really think that this will ever happen, the Glenn's won't even display the Interior Division Championship banner from 2018/19. Anything associated with Mark Ferner or Duncan Wray is off the table for the Glenn's
ReplyDeleteThere are investors just waiting for the Glenn's to put a for sale sign for the franchise. They come with a lot of money so that is not a problem. The old adage is Time will tell. But until the Glenn's tire of it's ownership of the Vernon Vipers life will be as normal. So enjoy the hockey social and be glad it is something we all can have fun at. Have a good day annoy a mouse. ha.
ReplyDeleteI doubt Jagger would even show up for the ceremony!!! You are forgetting that he lived through the Glenn's arrival...
ReplyDeleteLooks like someone here trying to get fans going and stir the pot. I don't know any hockey player that wouldn't want their jersey retired by the team they played their entire career for. Jagger Williamson dropped the puck at the Vipers home opener this season.
