‘This is the year’ GM Hunt talks about how the Raiders look after the deadline
Since taking over the Prince Albert Raiders’ general manager role ahead of the 2015-16 season, Curtis Hunt found himself in a difficult situation.
He had to sell a story that Raider fans have already heard for the past 15 years or so, ‘wait until next season.’
“I think the toughest thing was I put it on the table and said ‘I’m asking for trust. You’ve heard the story of next year, next year. Well, this is the year we were talking about,” Hunt said. “We knew we would be competitive and we have a terrific group.”
This is that year Raider fans have been waiting for, and the numbers back it up.
