Plate 386 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 On 15/03/2019, Assistant General Manager Plate was let go from his management position due to a lack of engagement, duty and responsibility to the Saskatoon We sat down with Plate for an exclusive interview. “Mr. Plate, with all due respect, what happened?” “You see, I think I know the exact incident that led to this move. There was a miscommunication involving the lines, now, mostly on my behalf. However, for the past couple simming weeks the lines weren’t updated. Peace had given me that task and I failed to do it. Our team dropped a lot because of it. I feel bad mostly for the guys that were in the locker room. We have… well I had a good team with Saskatoon.” “Was this a sudden thing that happened, then?” “No of course not. I basically asked Peace if I could be removed from the position. It wasn’t so much of a discussion as it was “I have this personal project with the league, and I can’t be both Assistant General Manager and have a roll in what I’m doing now.” so I decided to let Peace know that he had my blessing to do what he had to do.” “What’s this personal project?” “Had I wanted you to know, I would have told you what it was, end of discussion.” “How can we be sure that the next time you’re given a job, you’ll stick to it?” “If you’re referring to my position with the VSN, then don’t take it to heart. I was threatened to be fired behind closed doors if I continued to bring my grievances from the organization to light. It’s no secret that I’m not a fan of what they’re doing. It’s ironic how a media organization can be so sensoring. And from what I can see nothing has changed. So, in that case, if there’s a good organization worth fighting for, I’ll be more than happy to fight alongside it. However, in terms of getting another position as an Assistant General Manager, the one thing that I would like to say is that at least I’m honest. And I think that my removal was mostly based around circumstance. Whereas I was busy with the aforementioned personal project. I didn’t do my job the first time around. It’s as simple as that. I just didn’t do my job. Mistakes are okay, just as long as they happen once.” Mr. Plate was 11-16-1 with the Saskatoon Wild. We did not contact Saskatoon for any further comments.

RunnerBert11 57 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Hmmm...(Meyers hears door of opportunity opening) Best of luck with your personal project, is that something league related we'll see in the future or something completely unrelated?
