It seemed the chants of "Go Whale Go" were a distant memory of the Waterford franchise. But, after long negotiations with The Happy Family Corporation, a deal has been signed to bring the Whalers back to the Waterford metropolitan area.
CEO of Rigorous Forechecker INC Briere has built a new local pub in the Waterford Region. Wanting to gain more promotional business Briere decided to purchase the Whalers franchise from a Chinese Restaurant.
A once proud organization was taken over by The Happy Family corporation and turned the hockey team into a wait staff and delivery service for the Chinese Restaurant. But after major complaints about labor conditions, the Happy Family decided to fire the staff and bring in local migrant workers instead. The only remains of the Whalers organization were constant loops of their 2010 Roller Hockey championship video, played in the restaurant's waiting room.
The Whalers will take to the ice this Spring at the Flyers Skate Zone Division C League.
Briere was very elated about the recent deal "For the first time in 2 years Waterford will have a hockey team again. I will also be co-captain of the team, and will bring a gritty style of play that fans will cherish. I'm also announcing 2 free appetizers to all fans, who bring their game stubs to my bar Denim Dans. This is a monumental day for all citizens of Waterford, as we look forward to our Whalers taking the ice this Spring."
Opening night is this Thurs at 9:40pm against league champion Warriors. The game still has limited tickets available at the box office.
