Albert Lea

Anyone know how the new team is coming along?

Talked to some friends in AL and hear the towns buzzing with hockey excitement. Wish I could say the same about our town.

I heard that the the offical announcement from the League and Team will be early next week. Albert Lea is a great town and the team will do great their. I think they will have plenty of MN players at tryouts.

If there isn't a good buzz going in Owatonna then you guys need to get it started. Get the town behind this effort. It's as great place for Hockey and it could work if you go about it in the right way. Start by ending all of the he said she said and get down to business. You won't get far without help from the town. Unless you guys at the grass root level get it going it might just fizzle away. I'm just saying.

Great news about AL.

Here in our famous town, rumors fly that yet another very large investor is still needed to fund the new team. So much for being a community effort.

Hey Wells, where are u getting your info? With 4 possible large owner/investors now and about 5 little investors where are we at? I dont know how it will run with 4 big owners but we just may be able to form a team.

It amazes me that everyone has an opinion yet know one even knows anything. There is no investors needed the league has granted the OWNERS the Approval for the team and the board has voted them in. They need no investors. Did youever think its about timing with the announcement. ALBERT LEA HAS A TEAM COMING and the name and colors and logos will be announced shortly. Like this TUESDAY or WEDNESDAY.

We will be traveling to watch NAHL hockey to Albert Lea next season. There will not be any hockey here in Owatonna next season. Dead deal.

How do u know?

Our friend backed out.

Who?

I have been asked to not name names here on the forum out of respect of the person of interest.

I talked to a person yesterday that said that it's a go. So did one of the big guys pull out? What about the others? you must know a lot.

hey! arn't you the guy that rags on Dave? I suppose you would like to see this go down the tubes!

Not true, they needed my help bozo.

help with what?

no need to call names!

Does alvert lee have a website yet?

Think...

At least one can travel 25 minutes to enjoy the hockey action in Albert Lea.
