Rebrand Strike Two Deals!

FALMOUTH ICE ARENA -- Another burst of trade activity was tipped off be Chin Music owner as he scouted future talent for his 2024 fantasy hockey league.  As usual, Westborough Wildcard ownership continues to dominate the winter months, having his hands in multiple deals.  The biggest surprise is the continued face lift of the former Irish Labatt franchise, now being tabbed as Rouse Rebrand.  Ownership has parlayed 1 big star into depth and picks.  The classic quality for quantity debate rages on.
