Foxboro, MA – Early signs from the Penguins front-office appear to indicate that Chickie Flynn’s Restaurant in Foxboro has agreed to purchase half the Provo Penguins franchise, and co-own the team for the 2011/2012 season. In what can only be considered a blockbuster move, perhaps the biggest in hockey sports history, Chickie Flynn’s has agreed to terms in order to co-own what is indisputably the most famous franchise in the New England Senior Hockey League [NESHL].
“It is all but announced at this point,” indicated Bud Spellman, spokesman for the NESHL. “As we understand it, all sides have agreed to the terms, and aside from cleaning-up some paperwork, Chickie Flynn’s is now co-owner of the Provo Penguins. “
The announcement comes only hours after the Penguins pounded the Herd mercilessly last night, in a 6-2 demolition of the once dominant Herd hockey team. The Penguins, who are now 2-0-1 on the season, must now put aside the distractions from the past weeks negotiations, and continue to bring their flightless-bird hockey to the ice.
“This is exciting,” exclaimed Darrin Corning, reporter for Senior Hockey Analysis Today Magazine. “You are talking about the joining of the forces of entertainment, food, alcohol and hockey! This is a great day for hockey, and it is a great day for America!”
An official announcement is expected later in the week, and will mark the end of a long and arduous negotiation process. With that said, all sides appear to be more than satisfied with the deal, and a celebration at Chickie Flynn’s is forthcoming.
