Forget
The B-Rangers

In
regard to Sean Mayer’s feature article (on the Hartford Wolf
Pack), I find it very disturbing that Mayer is still obsessed with
what used to be our hockey team.
For
those of you who do not remember, this is the franchise that upped
and deserted a city that was very good to them for almost 10 years. Yes, the same city that never received a thank you from the
Rangers organization for all their support.
I
think Mayer needs to be reminded that we have a new team in
Binghamton. Yes, a team
that gives its all night after night.
Apparently, Mayer still has not gotten over the loss of the
fat cat Binghamton Rangers, but they are gone, they are never coming
back and we need to support the new team, the Icemen.
The
comparison of the two cities (Hartford and Binghamton) is unfair.
The mention of the Icemen having the lowest average
attendance in Binghamton’s hockey history is also unfair and does
absolutely nothing to promote the growth of this team.
I
feel his article was a grave injustice to the strides this current
organization has made […].
