Okay should be put in another thread on this board but thought it was interesting

The Toledo Mud Hens organization is in negotiations to purchase the Toledo Storm hockey franchise, members of the Storm's front office have confirmed.
Toledo Storm Vice President and General Manager Pat Pylypuik said the Mud Hens organization has offered to purchase the East Coast Hockey League franchise from current owner Tim Gladieux. He said this would be the last season the Storm would play in the Toledo Sports Arena.
“[The Mud Hens] are probably not going to operate the hockey team for the next couple of years,” Pylypuik said.
The Mud Hens would own the rights to the ECHL's membership for the Toledo market, Pylypuik said. But as part of the deal, he said, the organization would drop the Storm name and rename the team when it begins play in the new proposed Downtown sports arena.
“From my understanding, they don't want anything to do with the past history of hockey in Toledo,” Pylypuik said. “They want to do it their way.”
Team president Barry Soskin confirmed Pylypuik's statements, but said he's unsure this would be the Storm franchise's final season after 16 years of existence.
“There's nothing signed,” Soskin said. “I just know Gladieux is negotiating with [the Mud Hens organization].”

| news out of pensecola is they are dead after this season |
What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

but this is interesting
Lucas County Commissioners approved the tax hike from 8% to 10% in January as a way to help fund a new sports arena at the corner of Jefferson and Superior. That's across the street from the SeaGate Centre, and just one block from Fifth Third Field. The tax went unchallenged, meaning a county-wide vote was not needed for its approval.

| Considering they average almost 4,000 fans/game, sounds like a big mistake to suspend hockey for two years. Not fair to make that many fans wait. |
