After a long season of struggles, it is finally over and it’s time to look to the future. The Lehigh Valley Phantoms have also recently ended their season and received a sudden surprise where, head coach, Scott Gordon and assistant coach, Kerry Huffman, decided to part ways with the team. It was a shock to most fans as the team finished in second place in their their division this past season. Considering Gordon had to deal with COVID restrictions and a slew of young players, the success was impressive. However, after an end of the season conversation with GM Chuck Fletcher, the two sides decided to mutually part ways due to a contract dispute for the season beyond 2021-2022. Kerry Huffman decided to follow suite and look for something more stable. Clearly the Flyers have future plans and couldn’t commit to the current structure.
On this episode of Gettin Gritty Wit It, I welcome back returning guest and QMJHL Scout and prospect writer, Craig Eagles. Craig has a great background in scouting the younger players, 15 years old, of the QMJHL as well as working with Rogers broadcasting in Canada. He has years of experience and an endless amount of stories to get into. This is one of the best ways to get ready for a long offseason.
