Indy's Hockey Team has Been Sold !
http://www.indystar.com/articles/4/137659-9684-106.html

<snip>

The Indianapolis Ice will still be skating, but not as a Central Hockey League franchise, thus ending a pro legacy of 16 years with the Ice, eight with the Checkers (1979-87) and five with the Racers (1974-79)...

The Ice's assets have become the property of Carmel land developer Paul Skjodt, who struck a deal with franchise owner Horn Chen of Chicago that will become official on May 1. Terms were undisclosed. The assets include the team nickname and the remaining three years of a five-year lease with the Indiana State Fairgrounds, where the Ice play at Pepsi Coliseum and have their office next to the Fall Creek entrance...

"The CHL franchise is leaving town, but there will be a new franchise playing in Pepsi Coliseum," said Skjodt, 45, who came to town in 1987 to play with brother Charlie on the Indianapolis Checkers. "The name is going to continue. It's just that the other stuff isn't done yet."

USHL president Gino Gasparini said he has heard the speculation about Danville, which is still competing in the playoffs. He expects the league board to meet in the near future about as many as three possible team relocations after this season.
