The Topeka RoadRunners may be on more solid ground than owner Mary Magdalene Lorang implied Sunday.
A day after she claimed “there’s nobody to buy this team,” Lorang said a number of interested parties have come forward.
“There’s higher than a 50 percent chance,” Lorang said Monday about the possibility of the RoadRunners being sold. “There are a lot of prospects right now. I may be done with this team. I may be going home. But I still own the team. I still manage the team, and I’ll still be true to my word.”
North American Hockey League commissioner Mark Frankenfeld confirmed Monday that prospective buyers exist and said the league and Lorang continue to hold out hope that the team will remain in the capital city.
I hope there is a way to keep the RoadRunners in Topeka. But in the long run, it would be better to achieve that goal with a different owner. I am glad the league is getting involved, and seems committed to keeping the team here.
