A few days ago NAHL commissioner Mark Frankenfeld was named Director of Hockey Operations for the Alliance Bulldogs, a youth program located in Dallas-Fort Worth. Frankenfeld has retained a minor role with Alliance throughout his tenure with the NAHL league office, but this is an interesting move considering it's a full-time position for someone who is supposed to be a full-time commissioner. I would have thought the NAHL Board of Governors would have learned their lesson with part-time commissioners a few administrations ago with Larry Pedrie, who maintained a gig similar to Frankenfeld's, but based on feedback I've received thus far, it appears the BoG were unaware of Frankenfeld's new position.
