The group looking to bring a professional or major junior hockey team to
Thunder Bay is trying to get people used to calling them Lakehead Yale
Sports Holdings. CEO Anthony Leblanc says that has been the official
name for about a year after Ice Edge Holdings was disbanded. He says Ice
Edge was created for the sole purpose of purchasing the Phoenix
Coyotes. The new company is working hard on a number of issues
including bringing a team here. Leblanc says he is impressed with
recent developments in regards to a new Events Centre in Thunder Bay and
says a new arena is a key term to bringing in a team. He adds it is a
condition of every hockey league they have had discussions with.
