The Brampton Blades of the VHLM underwhelmed this season. Finishing with a record of 18-47 this season, Brampton's minor league franchise found themselves in the weird predicament of being terrible but not owning their own pick for the draft. Despite the large turnover in yearly rosters because of the draft and the waiver wire, it appears upper management was not confident in the current regime's game plan. Prior to the VHLM Cup series even being completed, the Brampton Blades have fired their GM. The announcement went public late Monday night. Despite being a franchise that did not see much success last season, the Blades had several candidates knocking on their door to try and turn this franchise back around. After a couple of interviews, the Blades were able to find their guy less than 24 hours after the firing of the previous management. The Brampton Blades hired none other than Brody Bryant.
Brody Bryant may not be a familiar name among the VHLM but Bryant has found much success in other professional sports leagues around the world. Bryant has won three championships in two different sports since he ventured into this business several years ago. Most notably known for his current run with the Philadelphia Prowlers of the Simulation Basketball Association, Bryant won two championships almost ten seasons ago. His most recent title run came in the form of managing a football team. As the GM of the Toronto Wolves of the then World Football League (now Web Football League), Bryant kicked off the inaugural season by winning the championship. Bryant stepped down from the Wolves in his second season to focus more on the SBA team he manages. Now, it seems like Bryant has the itch to take on a second team again.
Bryant addressed the second job in a brief session Tuesday night prior to his introductory press conference on Wednesday.
