Jatovi McDuffie not returning this season đź’”

  1. Always so friendly whenever I would bump into him at the Arena and DBAP and always down for a photo. Hoping the Bulls keep him forever now!

  2. People need to get out of their feels over people who add nothing to the on ice product. Honestly I could give two craps about the entertainment value of the Canes aren’t producing it just pisses me off more.

  3. I think it’s worth remembering that these employees live in our community and aren’t hockey ops.

    Jatovi has been a fixture at Bulls games for what feels like two decades. I have only met him a few times in passing, but he’s an absolute pro. I do know Ron the Ref, Big Mike and DJ Mista Illz. They’re good people and great representatives of the team.

    I can understand the org wanting to inject some new blood — just sad for a local guy who obviously cares a great deal about his job and did it at a high level.

  4. I hope ownership and management understand how important these off-ice people are to the experience for the fans at the arena.

    Jatovi will be missed.

  5. Pretty weak of the organization to not provide any explanation to him. But I’m sure the explanation is Meghan Lamontagne is cheaper and don’t need him anymore. She probably does the in-game, iced tea podcast, and office work for next to nothing. She obviously had zero experience when she started but has gotten much better.

  6. This is the reality for non-essential personalities. They come, they go. Perhaps the org found someone they wanted to use in his place.

  7. My wife and I are chatting about this and remembering Jatovie when he started working for the Bulls lo these many years ago. Does anyone remember the guy he replaced? I cannot remember that guy’s name…

  8. My family group chat is literally “Canessss Fansssss”. We met him before a game at a fan fest and he could not have been a nicer guy. I will miss him.
