A Mulgrave native is the new part owner of a Maritime Hockey League team.
Bruce Ryan and Scott Burden have bought the Pictou Co. Weeks Crushers from members of the Weeks Hockey Organization, who owned the team since its inception in the 2004-05 season; they’ll continue their ownership until the end of the 2018-19 season, and will also remain the team’s named sponsor.
Ryan, originally from Mulgrave, lives in Corner Brook, NFLD.
A news release indicates the new owners have agreed to keep the Crushers in Pictou Co. for the foreseeable future.
Three local players are on Pictou Co.’s roster- Antigonish’s Calum MacPherson, Long Point’s Malcolm MacEachern and Whycocomagh’s Chase Ellis.
