Arizona SunDogs under new ownership

PRESCOTT VALLEY, Az – The Central Hockey League and Arizona SunDogs announced today that the club had been purchased by a new ownership group.
 
The purchase moves the club to Consolidated Sports Holdings (USA) and marks a significant movement in the CHL.
 
“Consolidated Sports is delighted to become a partner in the CHL and especially in Prescott Valley and we look forward to the wonderful

opportunity that this location provides.  We are assuming control of an ongoing operation, the Arizona Sundogs, complete with management, staff and a players roster that has been a successful franchise for the last three years,” stated Bill Yuill, President of CSH.
 
The SunDogs won the Ray Miron President’s Cup as the CHL’s league champions for the 2007-2008 season.  The SUnDogs have been averaging more than 3500 fans a night through 11 home games in Prescott Valley.
 
“On behalf of the Prescott Valley Hockey Club, we would like to thank the wonderful community of Prescott Valley and Prescott for their support of the Arizona Sundogs since the very first shovel was put in the ground of Tim’s Toyota Center, which became home of the Champion-to-be,” said Shawn Fowler, co-owner of the Arizona Sundogs.  “We are truly appreciative of the support from the community, the league, league officials, and all of the Central Hockey League member teams.  We wish the new Owners great success for many years to come.”
 
The SunDogs resume their season Wednesday night when they host the Texas Brahmas at the Tim Toyota Center.
