“The plan” to bring the Can-AM League to Ottawa always included keeping as many of the former Lynx key staff members in place.  The delay in reaching an agreement cost the new team some of those people who couldn’t afford to wait and see which way things were going to break (particularly after things became bogged down in late September and October).  Fortunately, Mr. Wolff was able to hang on to Lorraine, Francois and Josh, as well as picking up Don who worked for the Lynx back in the day.  These people will be able to “protect the Lynx legacy” far better than any blog.   A warm welcome to Richard and of course, Miles Wolff.  Nice articles in the Citizen and the Sun today (The Sun article courtesy (I believe) of Mr. Sager).

In FLP news, Geoff Geary signed a one year $1M plus contract with the Houston Astros.  Geoff was back and forth between Ottawa and Philly for the latter half of the 2007 season, but I was impressed with how good he was with the fans and his seemingly positive outlook.  Congrats, Mr. Geary.
