Plug Pulled on Ashley -- Skipper Fired in Calgary
Monday, February 28th , 2067
Today the Hitmen made an announcement: The era of Brandon Ashley is over in Calgary.
After a disappointing season, the club officials sat down with Ashley to discuss their decision to make a change.
"It wasn't a surprise to me," Ashley said speaking with reporters. "As a team we did not perform up to people's expectations, nor to my expectations. When that happens, someone has to take the blame. This year, that person was me."
In an official statement, Hitmen general manager expressed gratitude for Ashley's efforts, but confirmed the need to look for a different voice in the clubhouse.
"We thank Brandon for providing class, professionalism, experience and leadership during his tenure with the club, but believe we need to make this important change to our team's management," he said.
