Hunt brings fresh perspective, thoughts on Monty and Pavs
When Curtis Hunt joined the Prince Albert Raiders as the team’s general manager on June 8, there was plenty of time to learn the players in the Raiders system before training camp started on Aug. 27.
But instead, Hunt decided he wanted a fresh look on all the players. He told the Raiders coaching and scouting staff to not give him too much information.
“Deliberately, I said to the coaches earlier…, ‘I don’t want to know how you used guys and I don’t want to know how you rated them. I think it’s best for all of us if you give me a chance to watch the players and come up with my own evaluation,” said Hunt. “Then it’s a better start for us once we get halfway, three-quarters through the exhibition season to talk about where we are as a group.”
Hunt has seen Sean Montgomery, the 17-year-old sophomore forward participate in main camp and has a good first impression.
