12/15/2008 1:53 PM
PRESCOTT VALLEY, Ariz. – The Arizona Sundogs, in conjunction with the Central Hockey League, today announced that Consolidated Sports Holdings (USA) Inc. has purchased Prescott Valley Hockey Club, LLC, operating company of the Arizona Sundogs. Consolidated Sports Holdings (USA) Inc. will take over the day-to-day operations of the Club beginning immediately. The Sundogs plan to hold a press conference to introduce the new ownership group after the New Year.
“Consolidated Sports is delighted to become a partner in the CHL and especially in Prescott Valley and we look forward to the wonderful opportunity that this location provides. We are assuming control of an ongoing operation, the Arizona Sundogs, complete with management, staff and a players roster that has been a successful franchise for the last three years,” stated Bill Yuill, President of CSH.
Consolidated Sports has been involved in minor league baseball for many years and more recently owns and operates sports properties in the USA. The Sundogs franchise will compliment the organization that operates the Everett Silvertips, a major junior hockey franchise in the Western Hockey League, located in Everett, Washington.
Consolidated Sports Holdings (USA) Inc. has appointed Bill Yuill as Governor and Terry Thom as Alternate Governor for the remainder of the 2008-09 season.
“On behalf of the Prescott Valley Hockey Club, we would like to thank the wonderful communities of Prescott Valley and Prescott for their support of the Arizona Sundogs since the very first shovel was put in the ground of Tim’s Toyota Center,” said Shawn Fowler, former co-owner of the Arizona Sundogs. “We are truly appreciative of the support from the community, the league, league officials, and all of the Central Hockey League member teams. We wish the new Owners great success for many years to come.”
“The Central Hockey League is proud to welcome Consolidated Sports Holding (USA) Inc. to the CHL family,” said CHL Commissioner Duane Lewis. “Their history of success in running sports franchises, as well as other businesses, speaks for itself, and they will retain the high standards set by the Arizona Sundogs organization. On behalf of the entire League, we would like to thank the ownership group of Eric Lacroix and Shawn Fowler for their leadership in establishing the Sundogs as one of the premier sports teams in the country. We are certain the Northern Arizona area will see a smooth transition in the ownership of the Club, and we all look forward to their continued success long into the future.”
