When people dont like other people, they are not afraid to talk about them to strangers. Especially if it is intended to be a warning to an unsuspecting person. There have been a lot of people more than willing to talk about Darren and Lisanne Anderson, and not one good word is being said.
People In South Carolina, and Maine have no trouble talking about Darren and Lisanne Anderson, or their companies Accu Brick, Accu Brick Paving, Accu Brick Paving Geenville, Ice Station Greer and Shift Sports. All of whom are named as defendants in a new lawsuit filed Greenville County Alleging Fraud, Constructive Fraud, Negligent Misrepresentation, Breach of Fiduciary Duty, Breach of Contract, Breach of Contract Acompanied by Fraudulent Act, Securities Fraud, Civil Conspiracy, Quantum Merit, Unjust Enrichment, inproper Accounting, Amalgamation of Corporate Entities, and Piercing the Corporate Veil when acquiring all of Shift Sports holdings including the Maine Nordiques NAHL, and Maine Nordiques NA3HL.
The Ice Station in Greer South Carolina where the Carolina Rage also owned by Shift Sports play their home games, is named as another defendant in the suit.
The thirty five page lawsuit places two NA3HL, and one NAHL franchise squarely in the crosshairs of being seen as collectable assets should the lawsuit be successful.
The lawsuit filed on December 1, 2025 is set for and alternative dispute resolution hearing on June 29, 2026. This generous length of time afforded by the court, will give the Andersons and Shift Sports enough time to have all three teams finish their seasons. But, this new action puts everything for these teams and the Ice Station firmly in doubt for the 2026-2027 season.
This new lawsuit seeks damages of more than one million dollars, plus interest on all the money given by investors to Darren and Lisanne Anderson in the pursuit of purchasing the Maine Nordiques, and more.
Reading the lawsuit, is like reading a crime story along the lines of the Catch Me If You Can. The allegations and supporting statements made are damning to say the least. But you can read for yourself:
Microsoft Word – 2025.12.01 Summons and Complaint 4899-2461-7341 v.1
Multiple sources in Greenville and Greer are reporting that the accusations made in the lawsuit concerning the tactics alleged to have been used by the Andersons contained in the lawsuit are essentially Andersons standard operating procedure.
Sources in Maine are reporting that salaries owed, and other bills have still not been paid by the Andersons or Shift Sports. Yet, the show goes on in Auburn Maine and Greer South Carolina for the NAHL and NA3HL teams.
Of note, the suit not only seeks real compensatory damages, but also seeks punitive damages, and requests an immediate temporary and permanent injunction against the defendants from selling any assets listed in the complaint.
The most concerning for the NAHL and NA3HL is the plaintiffs request that a constructive trust sufficient to secure all damages to be awarded in this action be imposed over all assets of Shift Sports, The Ice Station, and the Accu-Brick Defendants. This request would keep the NAHL and NA3HL from being able to strip the Andersons of any rights, and would keep the leagues from being able to take back the franchises.
Make no mistake, the NAHL and NA3HL have been smoke screened by the Andersons, and could find themselves having to deal with the courts in Greenville themselves either as a witness, or an entity making a claim on the franchises. The fact that the leagues allowed the Andersons to continue in any fashion during this season, after all the proofs were presented of the Andersons actions in Maine, is remarkable.
Throw the NCDC expansion in the South East, and continued growth in the North East, the pressure from all sides on all three franchises will be extreme in the spring and summer recruiting seasons of 2026. The Carolina Rage can barely put a team on the ice, and the NA3HL Nordiques are sqarely in last place in their division.
Unfortunately for the Andersons, in South Carolina, if found guilty of civil fraud, a criminal case may also be brought against them. Double jeopardy laws would not apply to any subsequent criminal case. While uncommon, given the multiple lawsuits in Greenville, it could be argued that a pattern of fraudulent behavior is demonstrated by the actions of the defendants.
TJHN will update this story as the multiple lawsuits move forward.
