Just two weeks after SPHL owners met here in Knoxville to discuss league expansion, the Richmond Renegades owner is worried his league franchise may fold.
Allan Harvie Jr. told the Richmond Times-Dispatch on Friday that the Renegades are skating on thin ice. Harvie says he stands to lose more than a quarter-million dollars this season - the Renegades' attendance is down nearly 20%, and some sponsors are not paying their bills.
"Alan's just got to do the best that he can with what he's got,” Ice Bears GM, Mike Murray said. "Hopefully, if he can't make it with what he's got there, he can sell it and keep that franchise alive."
The SPHL's director of hockey operations, Bill Coffey, told the newspaper he doesn't think next season will be as good financially as this season. Coffey predicts "a 10-percent drop in everything."
