JUL.01 - ICEDOGS TAKE BIG GOALIE IN IMPORT DRAFT: One day
after hearing Jeremy Smith wouldn’t be back for the 2009-10 season, the

draft. With the 21st overall pick, the Ontario Hockey League club

IceDogs rolled the dice with their first round pick in the 2009 Ontario

second. [article

MAY.2 - SUCCESSFUL DRAFT FOR DOGS: It
was a long and at some points stressful day at the office for the IceDogs

MAY.2 - DOGS SELECT LUCAS LESSIO WITH 1ST ROUND PICK,
7TH OVERALL - DOUGIE HAMILTON PICKED IN 2ND ROUND:
Lucas Lessio, Toronto Marlies - Left Wing, 6.00, 175 lbs. Lessio capped an
outstanding season by winning the Tim Adams Memorial Award as the most
valuable player of the OHL Cup. He finished in a tie for second place in
tournament scoring with five goals and 11 points in seven games. The big
winger is equally adept at playing the game with skill or strength.

APR.17 - IceDogs rookie Hamilton recognized as OHL's top high
school student: Freddie Hamilton is doing his part to dispel the
stereotype of hockey players as dumb jocks. The 17-year-old winger for the
Niagara IceDogs has been named the winner of the Ivan Tennant Memorial Award
as the Ontario Hockey League's top high school academic player. Hamilton, a
Grade 11 student at Governor Simcoe Secondary School, has maintained a full
course load in 2008-09 with an academic average of 99 per cent. His grades
have made him the top Grade 11 student throughout the entire District School
Board of Niagara.

APR.15 - JUNIOR HOCKEY: Attendance increased but team still
lost money - There was no sophomore slump at the box office for the
Niagara IceDogs. The St. Catharines-based Ontario Hockey League team saw its
attendance increase by 6.82 per cent for regular season games, fifth best in
the league. The team didn't have as many complete sellouts (3,145 including
standing room) as last season -- 10 as compared to 13 -- but the IceDogs led
the league in most sellouts (29) based on seating capacity.

APR.14 - ICEDOGS TAKE STOCK OF SEASON: The only thing

Niagara IceDogs general manager Dave Brown ripped his team prior to its Dec.
31 game against Erie, his quotes were duly noted for future reference.
