That's it for the 2010-11 season. Owner Brent Stark said in his speech that "I'm not sure what's going to happen next year, but whatever does happen I will guarantee there is good product on the ice. I'm not sure what my involvement will be with this franchise anymore." Rumors had been flying of the possiblity of him pulling out of junior B altogether, and even maybe moving the team to another location (Barrhead, Edson, High Prairie). Or if he isn't involved, letting the community run the team. But, to go along with that, more rumors are swirling about his AJHL irons being in the fire. He hasn't given up on a team yet, apparently.
Oh, and the final date for the Lloydminster Bobcats/ Stark proposal has been moved now to Wednesday, from the Saturday April 9th deadline. Lawyers are working hard to settle "matters."
That's it for now. I will break down my NHL playoff predictions in the next 24 hours. 5 days until holidays..... Comments? dave@xm105.com ! It won't let me. I apologize. I will fix it when I get home this afternoon.
