Last night the Flint Firebirds were losing 3-1 to the Oshawa Generals in a OHL matchup...The Firebirds came back, and won the game 4-3 in overtime...
Immediately after the game, owner Rolf Nilson fired the head coach, John Gruden and the entire coaching staff...WTF!?! right...The speculation, that has been reported by a multiple reporters, and confirmed by a couple is, Nilson was unhappy about the amount of ice-time his son, Hankon Nilson, was getting...
When the players found out what was going on, the entire team, including the owners son Hankon, went to the owner's office, said "fuck this," threw their jerseys on the floor and quit....
Hey Rolf Nilson, when you own the team, and your son quits along with the entire team, because of how you're running things, YOU ARE A BAD SPORTS PARENT!
It was tweeted by the CHLPA, that they have arranged for Pro Bono Legal Cousel for all Flint players, parents and staff...Following this coming out, Rolf Nilson has called for a meeting with this the coaching staff...
Flint's next scheduled game is Friday against Sarnia...It will be interesting to see if anything is resolved by then...
