Bulldogs coach John Gruden overcomes Flint turmoil to reach Memorial Cup
REGINA — Nicholas Caamano’s favourite memory of Hamilton Bulldogs coach John Gruden stems from their difficult days with the Flint Firebirds during the 2015-16 season.
The 19-year-old forward was traded from Flint earlier this season along with centre Ryan Moore — reuniting him with Gruden and forward Will Bitten from their days with the Firebirds.
All four have now reached the Memorial Cup with the Bulldogs.
“I think just coming from where we came in Flint with all that happened there and then hoisting the OHL championship, I think that was huge,” Caamano said Sunday.
