Premature press release?


The Kelowna Chiefs Junior B hockey team may have sent out a media release prematurely suggesting they will play out the Rutland Arena this upcoming hockey season.
The Chiefs had been granted approval by the Kelowna Rockets to hold a two day camp this past weekend.
But the Rockets organization hasn't given the go-ahead to allow the team to play within city limits for the start of the 2010-2011 season.
When asked if his announcement was misleading, Chiefs General Manager Fred Pittendreigh says, "not really."
Pettendreigh is sure he will get 100 percent approval by Friday.

So then the team is not officially moving to Kelowna yet then? You think the team will end up in Kelonwa eventually?

Hamilton has not given the Chiefs approval yet. He may by weeks end though. I find it odd that the Chiefs would put out this press release without having an agreement in place with the Rockets. An agreement in principal is a far cry from meaning its a done deal.
