This article is a must read. I almost can't believe it's true. SPHL HOCKEY: Blaisius settles in as Bobcats coach

Blaisius just joined the team before Thanksgiving week to observe the team and help out in their trip to Fayetteville, N.C. on Nov. 18 and 19th

“I served as a driver, but I was also sent as an observer,” Blaisius said. “I am also a paramedic, so I was there to help our trainer Hayley Cruz and also see what can be fixed. I gave out my feedback and they wanted me to come on board as an advisor and assistant.”

"I was approached and you have to be all in ..." I hope his many talents include treading in a cesspool of business mismanagement, small town politics, and an increasingly disgruntled customer base. Tall order for "a driver (and) an observer."

I mean, his coaching experience is in the NA3HL, where you basically have to convince parents that their unathletic, untalented children have a chance to play Division I (club) hockey and then get those parents to write a five-figure check to keep their (and maybe their kids') hockey dreams alive. It's a step up from Sarcona's Midget AA coaching experience, but not by much.

Now that you put it that way, I'd recommend Coach Blaisius make an appointment at the Danville Glamour Shots studio to get himself a more flattering Hockey Ops staff photo for the team's website.

They'll be ok until the director of team security's paycheck bounces.

BOOM - burn the accounting ledgers.

BOOM - burn the accounting ledgers.

That's a good plan until the special agents arrive to investigate the organization's unpaid taxes and want to see them...

Neither head coach TJ Sarcona nor the broadcaster or marketing guy who were hired during the season are listen on the website anymore.

Could Ellen's trust fund have finally run dry?

The rumor is the team is folding effective immediately.

Yes, but it hasn't been confirmed.

Like I said, it's a rumor.

Bench Minor Hockey facebook page is what I've seen.

So it's appearing that those of you that voted "Fold midway through the season" were in the right line of thought just one season off.

But technically our lone "last multiple seasons" voter has come the closest. So a big congratulations to @Michael Smitley, your prize may be picked up behind section 107!

Need a game worn to go along with my Florida Seals and Battle Creek Rumble Bees ones (my off the wall grail is a Hudson Valley Bears game worn).

Wow, you have jerseys from every overflowing hockey toilet, eh?

This is the second or third time BMH has said he's confirmed they're folding. He doesn't have the most credibility.

That said, I expect them to fold. I've heard some interesting stories today.

Sadly, I don't have as much time to waste reading about "pro hockey"'s overflowing toilets as I used to.

What a difference a day makes ... maybe ... since the VCB Facebook post wouldn't link ...
