Why would you contract out your social media in the first place. That's exactly what I do for a living. Certainly cheaper to pay a person to work for the league/ teams to do it than contracting an outside company.Ludwig media has confirmed they control the league and team twitter accounts went they went offline. There is a dispute on who owns the twitter account maybe:

Glad this finally all came out officially that people are being screwed over for their paychecks by this league. And it doesn't just stop at outside social media services.

The Wichita Falls game seems to have went on OK, someone at the game posted a flyer that was a message of staying the course.
Holy heck, what is up in South Texas though. The scheduled game became a 3 on 3 “showcase” except it is not clear who the players were being showcased to. A friend said only 4 players and no goalies showed for the Lawmen so they moved some of the Bee’s players over, but I don’t know who to confirm that independently. No broadcast of the game.....
There were 8 bees and 11 lawmen head my count. Thanksgiving might have a hand in this...And they were playing 3 on 3. everyone here can rejoice that less than 500 showed up but it was a lawmen home game and on black Friday. I doubt tomorrow will be any better.
I've had food poisoning so I got there mid 1st thru end of 2nd. Couldn't figure out what was going on....there was a shootout after each period ended. Lawmen were up 6-5 end of 2nd, looked like a. real game to me not a showcase.
Kinda felt bad for the lawmen as the crowd and announcer were bee fans....but it was the first lawmen home game.

If teams are down to that few players, they need to fold! Any other reputable junior league would have suspended teams with those amounts. Junior players stay with their billet families during Thanksgiving so that's not a valid excuse. The ones that left town aren't coming back!
It looks like by all accounts that Billy D and the USACHL guys are trying to get every dollar they can before this thing falls through. They're trying to row a boat that has more leaks than they have buckets.
The reputable thing to do is shut it down, be open and honest to fans and players, and focus on a reboot for 2019 or 2020. They rushed the league and this is the very predictable result.
I'd rather have what we had last night than nothing, at least it was a try. I'm on the opposite side of you guys tho.
I can respect your opinion.
What gets me mad most of all is that they launched with a business plan that could not sustain losses for the time period needed to grow the fan base. If they really had the capital to buy an ice rink, do a million dollar renovation, and sustain the league for 3 years without a dime of income, then there would have been no issues of getting people payed and the league would have had the time needed to develop properly.
And none of they is the fault of the players, or the coaches, or the GM’s. That goes straight to the top of the league ownership.
Rgvhockeyfan, I need you to confirm the score i heard for tonight. They claimed the final was 19-8 in favor of the B’s over the didn't go.lawmen. Is this true? Was the game called early as there should be at least one more period given the start time.

Thank you. Any truth that half the players on the lawmen tonight were actually bee’s players in the opposite team uniform, then they switched back prior to the post game “autograph” session?
That is seriously what I was told by a lawman fan. They are down to about 4 players so that is how they got enough lawmen to do the 3 vs 3. That it was a reason they did not stream the games as well when the prior week they streamed via both Facebook and YouTube without problems, and even have a play by play guy for the broadcasts.Take it easy Ed. Not cool.
18-8 bees win. From a player Lukas radius...he's pretty happy another hat trick and 5 assists
I got a hat trick and 5 assists in a 3v3 pickup game once too. It was a pretty fun night. The other guys were a bit confused when I took the puck and had it taped up after the third goal though.
In all seriousness, if the kids really are happy about the 3v3 gongshow weekend then they aren't really junior hockey like we talked about before. Yes, they might like the junior hockey lifestyle but they're not in it for development, college hockey opportunities, etc... The USACHL is turning into one of worst stories of junior hockey failures ever.
