RTG - Brian "Cooper" Corwin

cooperthegiantscat · 08-10-2017, 02:41 AM

This is my first time doing a FHM or any hockey style Manager/Coach career mode. This is going to be a train wreck but I am determined to cut my teeth. I am naturally a baseball guy (see my Giants GM thread in the OOTP Dynasty Forum) I hope to use stat lines and learned experienced to start unemployed and work my way up to a higher league. Should be fun!

General Manager and Head Coach Brian Corwin, signed a 2 year contract with the Port Huron Prowlers of the Federal Hockey League (FHL) worth $6,400 ($3,200/yr).

Brian, a native of Michigan, grew up in Pinckney, MI (near Ann Arbor, MI - home of the U of M Wolverines) and studied both Sports Management and Business ethics at Madonna University in the Sports Management department. As a senior at the the University, Brian served as a Lead Operations Intern with the former Plymouth Whalers (OHL) where he conducted locker room tours, autograph signings, VIP and hospitality services, and sponsorship works in the front office.

"When Port Huron offered me the job it just made sense. The city is just under 100 miles away from Pinckney, MI where I grew up so I can live close to family, and I know the area quite well."

Brian, new to coaching is going to have a lot on his plate in terms of coaching experience and developing his team is concerned, but with his knowledge, network, and management skills - making business calls should come naturally to him.

November Points of Interest:
11/27/2016 LD Kristaps Nimanis, Day-to-Day, Bruised Calf
11/21/2016 C Branden Parkhouse, Day-to-Day, Mild Hip Strain, 2-3 Weeks.

Team Report:
Brian Corwin, and his Port Huron Prowlers went 4-6 over the last 10 games.

"The team has been going through a bit of an adjustment period. Melvin Nyffeler our new Goalie acquisition has a bright future with the team but I think he has a lot to learn to be an everyday starter."

December 2016 Transaction Log
12/22/2016 C Brant Sherwood Placed on Injury List
12/7/2016 RD Jack Callahan Activated from Injury List

The Port Huron Prowlers have done a lot to turn this season around, under the leadership of GM/Head Coach Brian Corwin. Corwin has stuck to his guns keeping his line and goalies the same, but has tweaked the amount of playing time and opportunities his starters will receive as well as making use of some of the younger players late in the games giving other players a chance to rest and stay healthy over a long season stretch.

The team last checked in at 4-6, and in a downward slump in terms of momentum but have recently in the month of December gone on a hot streak to 11-10-1
