Local Hockey, Done Right: Gary Lazou on the Gunners’ Comeback Plan
In Episode 2 of the Hometown Sports Podcast, we sit down with Gary Lazou, President and GM of the Simcoe Gunners, to talk about the long-awaited return of senior hockey to Simcoe.
Gary shares the fascinating history behind the Gunners name (dating back to the early 1950s), why the timing is right to bring the team back, and how the plan is built around local players, local sponsors, and a community-owned model designed to avoid the pitfalls of past startups. We also break down what the OEHL (Ontario Elite Hockey League) looks like, what fans can expect on game nights at Talbot Gardens, and what needs to happen between now and May as the Gunners work through the league application process.
Plus: how the team is creating a true Saturday-night event, why the “wow factor” matters, and what to watch for next — including a documentary on Gunners history.
