Thunderbirds being sold
Sort of OT, but there's a piece of news concerning the current hockey franchise in Seattle:
http://www.seattlethunderbirds.com/...team-subject-to-whl-and-city-of-kent-approval
Two brothers from Alberta who run an outfit called Silent-Aire, which manufactures data center HVAC units, have agreed to purchase the T-Birds from Russ Farwell, who will remain with the team as its GM. Didn't actually realize he was owning the team - I thought they were still owned by the Chaplin family, the auto dealers in Bellevue.
Deal is pending WHL and city of Kent approval and the WHL is scheduled to meet October 4 to grant its approval, and I'd have to guess it'll be up for discussion at the next Kent city council meeting, which I believe also will be around that time, I'll have to check.
