Colorado Mammoth Message Board

Opening Night is bringing back a major player in Mammoth history in an opposing uniform, Gavin Prout. I realize there are probably some hard feelings between Management and Gavin, but this has not affected the affections the fans have for him.

I, and I am sure many others, would like an opportunity to thank him for his years here. I do not think a special presentation is necessary, but maybe having Willie announcing Gavin last, with a little emphasis will give us fans a chance to show our respect.

Thank you for the consideration.

Agreed!

Absolutely agree, only fitting

I agree all the way.. Gavin does deserve someting from the fans for all the good times and good things that he has done for our team!

Here-here

do they announce him before or after the crowd boos? i would love to have willie announce him and show him the respect he has earned and deserves in the can but im not sure how they would do it. think about the games and what the arena does the second after they stop cheering for the mammoth. everyone turns to the other corner and boos the opposing team as they run on the field. as for the tarpit, we just turn our backs to show our "respect" for them. i would love to see it and i would cheer as loud as anyone in the building but im not sure they could do it with out announcing gavin by himself, and then the rest of the team.

alot of players have been good to this team, and some of them have to go. if you wish to respect gavin, talk to him after the game and thank him for what he did here. i will not boo him but i will not cheer him for one second unless hes in a mammoth uniform. i think that the rush should be anounced as normal and if you feel the need then you can clap/yell/cowbell/etc... when they anounce #9. i dont think a special anouncment is necessary.
