EXPANSION!!!! (Sunday, October 12th, 2014)

Hello USA and hockey fans across the world. Welcome to the GHL Blog. Today I am happy to announce that the GHL has expanded by two more teams. Please give a warm GHL welcome to:

The Houston Aeros

And...

The Kladno Sharks

This is the first time the GHL has expanded to either Houston, Texas, USA, or Kladno, Czech Republic. 

 

And now for more news. Pittsburgh Penguins star Jaromir Jagr decided to opt out of his contract to sign with the Sharks, saying he wants to return to his hometown.

Now the GHL is a league of 24 teams. The regular season, however, has been put on hold while the two new teams get players and a new schedule.

That should do it for today's post, so until next time, take care and follow the GHL.

Warm Regards,

Mario Ardais

GHL Commissioner

Hello USA and hockey fans across the world. Welcome to the GHL blog. The new GHL season is upon us, and I think it's about time for some announcements.

First off, all of us here at the GHL would like to wish a happy (late) birthday to Mario Lemieux. He's your humble commissioner's all-time favorite player.

It seems like it was only yesterday that I saw him play his final home game in 2006.



And now for some GHL news. There was an important trade that happened on Friday. Sidney Crosby was cut from Team Canada due to his salary being too high. The Pittsburgh Penguins grabbed him at the last second with a 7-year, $7 million contract with a $1 million signing bonus, making Sidney Crosby the highest-paid player in the GHL.


HRCA Inline Hockey Captain Steve Finn is only one goal away from having the most regular season goals in GHL history. He's currently tied for 1st with former New Jersey Devils star Bruce Driver at 649 goals.

Speaking of goals, there are 5 players on the verge of 500 career goals here in the GHL. These are the 5 players to look out for:


Glenn Featherstone- Team YouTube
Patrick Elias- New Jersey Devils
Wayne Gretzky- Team Canada
Sidney Crosby- Pittsburgh Penguins
Al Hamilton- Colorado Select






The 2014-15 GHL season is only a few days away, so here's what to watch for:

Steve Finn's possible 650th goal, making him #1 in most career goals

The Colorado Eagles' championship banner raising and trophy presentation

Opening night game #1: Minnesota Chiefs at New Jersey Devils, where I, the GHL commissioner, will be there to drop the puck to kick off the season.



Also, The GHL's official YouTube channel is now up, so here's the link:

This is where all of the GHL-related videos and games will be uploaded to. Currently, there's a season promo video on it, so go check it out.



Well, that's all for today's post. Until next time, take care, and follow the GHL. Also, subscribe to the GHL's official YouTube channel and follow us on Google Plus. See you all soon.



Regards,
Mario Ardais
