Atlantic City Sharks gone after March
Guest:
The Atlantic City Sharks are most likely to fold after March.
Unfortunately, Black Bear has not renewed their lease (due in March) with the city of AC and they are probably not going to. AC is such a small market for Black Bear especially with them only fielding six teams this year. There is no way for them to grow and make money. It's also one of the furthest rinks that the new AHF clubs would have to travel to. Feel bad for the kids because most live further south in the Cape May area and it's a long drive to Hollydell, Flyers Youth or the Jags.

What is the source of the info? This has been talked about every year but they remain open.
Guest:
If true, this is disappointing, perhaps Toms River or Brick is an option as well, in past years both clubs have had players from SJ coming up the GSP.
Guest:
For those who don't seem to like Black Bear, AC, Protec, Wintersport - the list keeps growing of rinks closing. If Black Bear wasn't here lots more probably get closed.
Guest:
Black Bear owns the rink that the Sharks play out of. They aren't saving anything here. They will start a new organization out of that rink that is owned by BB and effectively kill off the Sharks the same way they killed off the Freeze at Aspen. Its all about the $$$ and control of everything from top to bottom for the Bear. They are terrible for youth hockey in this state.
