Trade Rumours Swirling Around Hounds, Downey

 

Mississauga, ON – It is no secret that the Mississauga Hounds are at the bottom of the pole when it comes to the VHLM. Through 20 games this season they have accrued a total of six points with a record of 3-17-0. Many people aren’t really questioning why this is happening as it is clear that the team is rebuilding and has a lack of top end talent. Except for one player, their captain Jeff Downey. Downey is currently ranked at #5 in the International Scouting Service rankings for the upcoming draft.

 

There are now rumours swirling that Jeff Downey has demanded a trade from the team in hopes that he will be able to be on a contender. We reached out to Jeff for comment and he had the following to say:

 

‘These rumours could not be further from the truth. Sure we are struggling but this group of guys we have on the Hounds is great! I don’t know who started these rumours. I will happily play out this season on the team and would love to return given a chance next season.’

 

Although he seemed eager to strike down the rumours stranger things have happened in the past and where there is smoke there is usually fire.
