Essentially, the article stated that Bloomington had been taken over by the CHL, that Tulsa is in conversations with the NAHL and USHL, and that another team is seeking a minority investor.
The same website updated the story the next day: http://thejuniorhockeynews.com/?p=11289 after the GM of Bloomington stated to the Bloomington Pantagraph that the CHL had not taken over the team. Pantagraph article available at: http://www.pantagraph.com/sports/pro...a4bcf887a.html
Now, look no further than the masthead of "The Junior Hockey News" to gauge its' credibility - convicted felon Joe Kolodziej (see: http://archives.record-eagle.com/2004/nov/2hockey.htm ) lists himself as publisher in the update and as a "hockey professional, agent, advisor, [and] writer" on the "About" page. Clearly, this is not Arthur Ochs Sulzberger and the New York Times.
However - it does appear that the Hunnewell-Vitales are out in Bloomington. The story has been picked up on several other blogs, and the fact that the team is denying everything in the paper is interesting. |
Nothing from Stephen Heisler's site is too credible but Bloomy in trouble is too easy a guess, I'm shocked they iced this year and made it through last year.
