White Heloz wouldn'î divulge names, he did say that îwo of the îhree leading prospects have Tier 2 jr. A experience, and that one is a former NHLer. His acquisition of the lceHawks essenîially nullifies the recruiting work Anderson had donc over the pasî several weeks, and nixes the îeams recent affiliation with Forgiones OHI Mississauga lceDogs - cxpcîed to bc sold as well thîs summer to l3harrnaceuuical gtant Fugene Melnyk. Mîlton's ncw owner also indicated îhaî the local club could bc undergoing a name change - pcrbaps as early as this coming scason. White consîdering giving the communiîy an opportu- nîîy to rename the îeamn - hy way of a conîest - hes also not opposed t0 reîurning 10 the Merchanîs moniker, which was dropped midway through Forgiones five-year reign.

"We're very proud of what we have done with tbis hockey franchise and are very appreciative of the wann and growing support we've reccivcd from the people of Milton over the pasî five sea- sons," Forgione said in a press relcase confirm- ing the sale. "We wish Rick much success in the years ahead." As he did during what îurned ouI t0 he an unsucccssful bid to huy the neighbouring Georgetown Raiders back in the spring, Heinz stressed that bes committcd t0 giving local play- ers more of an opportunity t0 play for their hometown îeam. "Anyone who cornes ouI and proves îhey cao compete at this level we're going t0 give a shot. 0f course we can't filI the whole Ieam wiîh Milton guys, but it would be greal if we could gel somewhere between five and 10 local players.
