General manager Ray Delia believes the Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs will have new owners within 14 days after John Madden approved a recent offer for the team.
"I'd be shocked if this isn't done by July 1," Delia told The Times today.
The new ownership group must be approved by the Central Hockey League before a sale can become complete.

Now if only Tyler could get a team so cheapy could be happy......I can't believe Beaumont let the Wildcatters get away a few years ago......

The arena leases is usually what gets a minor hockey league team...which is what happened with the Catters.
Thankfully that wasn't the case with the Bugs.
