Ok kids, my back is a little sore. The backhoe broke down and I am digging these holes by hand now. Do you have any idea how hard it is to keep my black cloak clean in all this dirt? Dry cleaning isn’t something the boss pays for, but hey a guy has to look good at all times right? Ha Ha Ha
So yeah, the Minnesota Owls are done. Not exactly a well kept secret in hockey circles, but they have been on the ropes for weeks.
What has been a well kept secret though is why they are going down. Some sneaky stuff going on in the world of Tier III recruiting. I certainly wouldn’t be the one to through about any allegations of tampering or anything, but hey, if it looks like a pile of dog crap it probably is a pile of dog crap!
Turns out that player contracts that were supposedly signed were never turned in to the owners! Can you believe it? Even crazier is some of the text messages some of the players were receiving. Certainly no one would provide another team the Owls players contact information! Or would they?
Our Publisher spoke to the Owner several times in the last week or so, and also spoke to other people involved or alleged to be involved. Funny how some stories contain some truths and others don’t make sense after talking to everyone involved.
The Owls did the right thing.
After having twenty some players show up at their initial camp earlier this summer, to then mysteriously losing half of those players, and their corresponding contracts, they had no choice. But they did the right thing and sent players to other teams in the league. Everyone had a chance to go to a quality organization.
Take a note boys and girls, some teams do the right thing by ending things on their own and not risking player safety on ice by small roster numbers. Other teams do not.
So, the Owls join the recently departed. They will not be alone though, it looks like we got three to five more special reports to write this week. That’s right kids, some of you are going to find out pretty soon that the contract you signed really didn’t mean much at all. The good news is you can tear it up into little squares, you know, like toilet paper and recycle it! Ha Ha Ha
