In what can only be considered as a shocking event, TJHN has learned that the North American Hockey League is making a bid to purchase the British Columbia Hockey League.
One source within the NAHL who wished to remain confidential said;
“When the opportunity comes along to absorb some good operations, and help them to raise their level of play, it is just good business to help our northern neighbors out.”
Multiple sources within the BCHL are reporting that it was in fact members of the BCHL that contacted the NAHL and asked for this purchase to take place.
One confidential source within the BCHL said;
“Lets cut to the chase. We need some help here. Half the league is free to play and the other half is charging. We dont come close to the NCAA commitments that the NAHL has, and people are actualy figuring this out. If we cant make the move now, we are pretty much dead in the water.”
Multiple sources in both leagues are citing the expansion of the NAHL, and massive expansion with the NCDC as reasons for asking the NAHL to buy the BCHL teams.
Another BCHL source said;
“Look, the writing is on the wall. Massive western expansion and more Tier II hockey in the US is going to keep a lot of players from coming up to us. We can either get in with them or get run over by them. The sound of tires going over my toes is not appealing.”
While no comments are coming from commissioners offices, witnesses in Frisco Texas were saying to have witnessed Commissioner Mark Frankenfeld laughing like a hyena while eating a freshly delivered batch of poutine.
One withness saying;
“I dont know where the hell they got the poutine, but they sure didn’t share any.”
Frankenfeld was later seen with a gravy and cheese stained tie, while picking up Tim Hortons coffee. Most people can see here that the dots are getting pretty easy to connect.
Alex Kyrias was later seen coloring the BCHL logo red, white and blue. With witnesses remarking that Mr. Kyrias refused the poutine earlier in the day while asking if anyone was aware of discounted crab leg purchasing opportunities in British Columbia.
Meanwhile, several BCHL staffers were seen outside of the BCHL league offices crying. One witness mentioned something along the lines of;
“How do we try to convince people we are as good as the USHL now?” Another staffer replied, “If you actually believe our PR department, youre an idiot.”
