香蕉视频直播淲e香蕉视频直播檙e in negotiations, no doubt, but that香蕉视频直播檚 where we sit until I get something on paper,香蕉视频直播 Cheyne told the Surrey Now.

香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檒l be honest and up front with you, the sooner the better, if it was going to happen for me, but it香蕉视频直播檚 up in the air right now,香蕉视频直播 Cheyne added. 香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檒l know more in the next two weeks probably.香蕉视频直播

The relocation bid and potential move of the Warriors is being discussed this week at the league香蕉视频直播檚 board of governors meetings.

Since the arrival of the BCHL club 10 years ago in West Kelowna, the Warriors have been a money-losing proposition for Cheyne.

Even after winning a league and RBC Cup championship last season, the Warriors香蕉视频直播 owner said little has changed for the club, both in terms of interest and drawing fans to Royal LePage Place.

香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 about a chance to break even there (in North Delta) because we just can香蕉视频直播檛 break even here, you know,香蕉视频直播 Cheyne said.

香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 just a better move financially. With the (WHL) Rockets here and everything, it香蕉视频直播檚 just a case of (people) don香蕉视频直播檛 support it here as well as they need to, that香蕉视频直播檚 for sure, even with a national championship, a really good team last year,香蕉视频直播 he added.

香蕉视频直播淚 was told all along, for 10 years, that once we get over that hump, win the division, win something, things will change here drastically, but that香蕉视频直播檚 just not the case.香蕉视频直播

BCHL commissioner John Grisdale confirmed to the Surrey Now that 香蕉视频直播渢here香蕉视频直播檚 interest for a team to play in North Delta, either a relocation or an expansion team,香蕉视频直播 starting in the fall of 2017.

Grisdale didn香蕉视频直播檛 guarantee a decision would be made this week but said 香蕉视频直播淭he league will look where it香蕉视频直播檚 at, where its existing franchises are, to see what香蕉视频直播檚 best for the league. We have 17 franchises, and we have to consider what香蕉视频直播檚 best for them.香蕉视频直播

The Warriors relocated to West Kelowna from Langley for the start of the 2006-07 BCHL season. Cheyne was a co-owner for two seasons, before taking on sole ownership of the BCHL club in the fall of 2009.
