"A Young Firebird" Nicholas Caamano: 2016 NHL Draft Prospect Profile

The Flint Firebirds 2014-15 season was known more for their issues involving the owner and the coaching staff more than the play on the ice. The long and short of it was that the original owner fired the coaching staff for not giving the owner's son more playing time; the players - including the owner's son walked out on the team; the coaching staff was re-hired; and then the staff was fired again leading to a situation where the owner was suspended from the OHL. This all transpired during a 20-42-4-2 season where the team put together the third-worst schedule in the season.
