Greetings Hockey Fans,
I am sorry to inform you that Topcat Hockey is closing its doors. There will be no 2007—2008 inline hockey season for us.
THERE ARE NO SCHEDULED TOURNAMENTS!
This is not due to the decline in popularity of inline hockey. While it is true that in some sections of the country inline hockey is on the decline, in other areas it is thriving. Topcat has just finished its best year ever.
I am closing Topcat because of personal reasons. Quite frankly, I am in the middle of a very nasty divorce. I simply cannot travel as much as this job requires. My four children need me.
I have tried unsuccessfully to sell Topcat as a business but have not had any luck. It would take the right individual that knows hockey, likes kids, likes to travel and is detail oriented. If you, or someone you know, is interested in purchasing Topcat, please contact me immediately.
Thank you to the thousands of families, coaches, facility managers, referees, and staff members that have made this all possible. It has been fun!!! There are way too many to recognize publicly. 99.9% of the people involved in this sport are GREAT people, I have enjoyed getting to know you.
I am very sorry to do this at the start of the season and with little notice. I know this leaves a hole in several areas of the country but I have little control over this timing. Also, I am sure that others will step up to the plate and fill the void.
On a personal note. For those of you that know me, you know this past year has not been a good one. For those that don’t know me that well, during the past year I have flaked on commitments, cancelled tournaments, not communicated with people, and generally been out of touch. This is not who I am, I have been ruled by my circumstances. If this is how I have treated you, I apologize!
Sincerely,
Pat Greenwell
