Lakers Ownership Group Confident

Those in charge of operating the Fort Frances Lakers junior A hockey club are confident the team's fortunes will turn around in 2010.

Attendance has not been as strong as expected, but president Milt Strachan (STRANN) says its not discouraging them from keeping junior A hockey in tact.

"We made a commitment to make this work," says Strachan. "We were under the gun. We had a couple of weeks to get prepare and get things rolling. To this point we've done well. We're not in any trouble."

Strachan says they may end the season with a small operating loss, but will have much more time to prepare for next season.
