Skip ahead to 1:04 of this video. The Fronts’ PA announcer is pretty clearly instructed to gloss over His Royal Mavesty (Rhymes With)‘s name to prevent anyone in the crowd from booing. It’s not just a conspiracy theory; there are clear, natural pauses after introducing both Kilrea and Jeff Stilwell.
Of course, that all stems from an earlier pregame ceremony in which team owner Doug Market Square was given his own introduction as he walked out on the ice, and deservedly received a cacophony of boos from the sparse crowd in attendance.
So apparently the Frontenacs can change. Just only in ways that help the upper management doofuses, not in ways that reward the fans that have suffered through their reign of idiocy.
