Jason Martel was not on the NAHL conference call, so I don’t know if this was pre-arranged, but Bozeman has been placed on inactive status. Helena has been granted inactive status as well. Players from all three Montana teams have been declared free agents. The league has determined that teams cannot trade/sell players when they know they are going inactive.
Given recent events, this is not terribly surprising. It finally answers the question as to the status of the Montana teams and their players, but leaves open the whole NorPac/AWHL issue for another day. |
Comments on "Conference Call Update"
Why were Bozeman and Helena granted inactive status, but not Billings?
If I were a player on one of these teams I would head South quickly to play for one of those franchises.
Why not head north to Canada and play junior there?
