We aint going nowhere!

Good news out of Shreveport, Louisiana today, as the CHL has confirmed and approved the sale of the Mudbugs to their new, currently unknown owners. This means that the Mudbugs will be back for the 2009-2010 season, and although the Jacks do not see the 'Bugs very often, I am absolutley thrilled that the 'Bugs "aint going nowhere". The Mudbugs is perhaps the most storied franchise in CHL history, and the CHL truly wouldn't be the same without Bossier Shreveport in the picture. With that being said, congratulations to all of the Mudbug faithful as you guys will not have to go through a hockey withdrawal for an entire season. Maybe we will see the 'Bugs at the ECC this season as we played ya'll in Shreveport last season. You can read more about the sale of the Mudbugs at the league website at http://www.centralhockeyleague.com/pressroom/news/index.html?article_id=3506.

In other CHL news:

• Brandon Benedict will not return to the Brahmas for the upcoming season as he has decided to play in Belfast. Good news for the Jacks as he was a very good player and we seem to see the Brahmas a few times during the season (Most of the time in North Richland Hills). Maybe the league schedule-makers will make things more fair this season and make the Brahmas play the Jacks a few more times at the ECC.


• Aaron Lee returns to the Killer Bees. You can read the article pertaining to Lee at the league website which can be located at http://www.centralhockeyleague.com/pressroom/news/index.html?article_id=3504.


• Adam Smyth will return to the Riverkings for the 09-10 season. This guy is a beast and truly is a force to be reckoned with. Coach "Killer" Kaminski wants to make his team more physical and tougher for the 09-10 season. This is pretty scary to me as the Riverkings were probably one of the meanest opponents of the Jacks last season. Maybe the Jacks will add a little more toughness to their roster which is one of the few faults that I saw in the team last season, especially when Joly went down for the rest of the season.

Until next time Jack fans all I have to say is GO JACKS GO!!!
