Freeman: New owners aim to win on, off ice
David Freeman, leader of the prospective ownership group, remained humble in the spotlight. He thanked all of the major players and expressed his gratitude to the fans most of all. “There’s a core base of fans here that is dedicated, passionate and loyal.” The group’s task, he observed, will be to recruit more people to become part of that die-hard fan base.
Freeman thanked outgoing owner Craig Leipold for his patience through the entire process. That willingness to give the local group’s efforts a chance, he noted, are why the team has the opportunity to stay in town.
The new group intends to focus on “winning on and off the ice.” The lease changes will give the team a real shot at success and will allow the owners to put a better product on the ice.
