Trouble in Hawkey Town
by Steve, February 21st, 2008Rumors have been swirling around town about the sad, sad state of the Winter Hawks, and the league seems to be taking notice.
Kamploops (B.C.) Daily News sports editor Greg Drinnan reports that the WHL is reviewing the situation.
The most serious rumors are about player treatment, and the team refusing to pay for surgery of an injured player. It is also rumored that the team is delinquent in paying for hockey sticks, and players are having to buy their own.
At this point the best thing might be for the league to take over the team, and try to right the ship. It’s bad enough having the worst record in the league since the 1989-90 Victoria Cougars. If you aren’t taking care of your players, you’ve got no place running a major junior hockey team.
