Topeka - Hockey will stay in Topeka. New owners for the Topeka RoadRunners have been conditionally approved by the North American Hockey League. The league's board of governors will meet with the new ownership group on Saturday to move forward towards a final approval. The new ownership group was only described as a group of "businessmen open to local investors."
"This group will merge with the community, and put cash into it," NAHL commissioner Mark Frankenfeld said in a phone interview Tuesday evening. He also stated that it is a "100% sale," with the team, name, logo, equipment, etc. to all change hands from current owner Mary Magdalene Lorang. When asked weather Lorang will have any involvement with the team after the sale, Frankenfeld said "no."
I am happy to see that the RoadRunners will stay in Topeka. They are really beginning to find a following, and it is nice to see we can keep a minor league franchise in our town.
