Seattle Crystals - a new hockey franchise???
Late one night, I decided that I had been away from hockey for too long. Sure, it was fun helping out the RHL Gargoyles and dipping into alternate hockey with the FHL Flames. But I wanted to run my own franchise the way that I wanted to. Start from scratch and build up a winner.
After consulting with the family, I decided to jump in with both feet. My son Marc came up with the nickname - a name with a heritage even though he didn't know it - and we decided to locate the franchise in Seattle because it's one of my favorite American cities. And it doesn't have a pro hockey franchise.
So the Seattle Crystals have become a reality. But what league will we be a part of??
That's still to be decided, so stay tuned to this blog to see.
