The same string of messages said that Butch Johnson, president of the amateur United States Hockey League and the owner of two USHL amateur teams, had cut a deal to buy the ScareCrows. Johnson confirmed Thursday that he and Fleisig were negotiating. Yeah, numbers have floated around. I'm very serious about it. I'd love to be able to be involved with hockey in Topeka.
Butch is just one of the people who is interested in it.
One of the most prevalent phone calls I get is from people who want to buy the team and put it together with other teams for a public offering. He wants it. So do other people. I'm not accepting any offers or listening to any offers until after the season. There will be no transfer of ownership during this campaign whatsoever.
