If those rumors are true, changing the name to Texas Panthers would be an improvement

NHL Anti-Thread: Bad Business Decision Aggregator

Holy :censored:, the houses across the street is where my sister used to live. Small world. And yes, that would have been a horrible location. -
NHL Anti-Thread: Bad Business Decision Aggregator
Jer15 replied to The_Admiral's topic in Sports In General
That part I don't recall. Would make sense though. Yup..... With the delays in the renovation, Copps/First Ontario has lost the CeBL team (minor pro basketball) and the OHL team. Sounds like the Toronto Rock will come back but I don't even know if that is a guarantee. They've fumbled this so badly. -

That was a popular rumor at the time. You're remembering right. That was because Blackberry/Research in Motion was a massive company in Waterloo at the time. I don't think that rumor lasted once the renderings of the renovated Copps came out. -
I think that's cause of the neutral site game they played there. I can see how people would make that connection. But yeah, I haven't heard/seen anything from an insider so I'm assuming that quiet (when there are other things coming out) is for a reason. .........of course you know what happens when you assume! lol.

That's what I find to be interesting as well. Maybe they stay put for another year?

That Vancouver kit is a massive downgrade

https://www.insidelacrosse.com/article/it-s-official-riptide-to-become-the-ottawa-black-bears/62651 So the ownership isn't changing to the Senators but GE Sports & Entertainment will "maintain a strong working relationship with Senators Sports & Entertainment to help drive the team's success in the Ottawa-Gatineau market."
-
Having the best player in the game currently in Teat should help too. Hopefully they can add a piece or two and start off with a good team. **Edit: just noticed you posted that logo in the other lacrosse thread**
-
That's my understanding, yeah.

Well PCLC may or may not move but the Riptide are going to Ottawa

No doubt in my mind that an NLL team can work in DFW. This ownership has messed up big time in many ways I too think a refresh with a proper city name, proper advertising and, a good team could make this a success.
-
Fair enough. From my point of view: It seems really silly of the NLL to agree to a 3 year ownership agreement. I was just curious of the details of that agreement because it seems pretty low risk for the PCLC owners and I'm wondering if that's why they haven't bothered to spend money on advertising, ect. To your point something needs to be done for sure. Any games I've watched on TV, it's seemed like there's no one there. I looked at some attendance numbers and was shocked that the average is 3000. I thought it would be less. Their total attendance this season is less than 10 of the other NLL team's average. That's really bad news. The Bandits total attendance this year is more than 10 times of PCLC. Insane!

I'm curious as to where you found this? I'm not saying you are incorrect. I just haven't seen that and am wondering where you got that from.

Kick Sauber. I like the green

I do like the way they incorporate the Duracell sponsorship.

Yeah. I've assumed for 2 seasons now Valour will drop out but the Bombers keep them going, thank goodness. York just got new ownership.....I don't profess to know much other than the owners also have ties to the Mexican league (which I know very little about). I think their family owned or owns a team.....I should It's great news the league got the team away from the Baldassarra family who seemed to pass it around between the family and their company. I can only assume that was for tax reasons....but I really don't know so I probably shouldn't speculate. Either way, I hope that means good things for York...again, call me overly optimistic if you feel that's the case . I can't stand to think of the CPL disappearing. It's clearly been helping the pipeline. All of this just seems too typical for Soccer Canada, finally getting things turned around. I remain optimistic but I admit a bit fearful. I really don't want to think of the program regressing. I recall going to games just hoping they'd win and make it to the hex. I don't want to go back to those days.
