Rut ro Rorge! Looks like we got us a mystery to solve kids! Time to warm up the mystery machine and get the van on the road eh Scooby?
The long awaited sale and relocation of the Michigan Warriors is now at best on hold! Multiple sources are reporting that the ownership group proposal was turned down over the weekend. But hold on a second Shaggy, some sources are also reporting that the same ownership group was approved to purchase the Keystone Iceminers and relocate them to Lewiston Maine?!
Ok, so what the hell happened here kids?
Well if this information is accurate, and these sources are pretty damn solid, then what looks to have happened is the NAHL is taking care of selling the franchise they have floated financially for most of the season. Smart business move on the part of the league. Not such a good move when your the Michigan Warriors ownership group.
So Keystone moves to Lewiston. But wait a minute! Other sources were reporting that a local group from the Pittsburgh area have been trying to buy Keystone while purchasing the Ice Mine arena! Rumored to be lead by a former NFL player, this group is said to have offered 1.7 Million for the arena, but they only want the arena if there is an NAHL team in the building.
So, couldn’t the Warrior be sold to that group in Pittsburgh? No one is talking about that. And no one is talking about how Moe Mantha gets thoroughly screwed by this move either. Yep, part of the sale and move to Brooklyn would have had Mantha at the helm again, and after turning down other offers, Mantha may now need to seek medical attention after this bending over.
Stay tuned kids, lots more news coming from the NAHL over the next few weeks. The Mystery Machine is on the move, and we are stocked up with Scooby snacks.
