Game on: Groups trying to bring hockey back to Mile One reach agreement

CBC News has learned that a group trying to bring hockey back to Mile One and the owners of the St. John's Edge have reached an agreementthat will allow both groups to work together at the downtown St. John's facility.

Businessman Dean MacDonald and former St. John's IceCapschief operating officer Glenn Stanford secured a deal with the ECHL to bring a hockeyteam to St. John's for this coming September.

The deal hit a legal snag, however, because the owners of the Edge basketball team had first rights to secure teams for the building.

The matter was supposed to head to arbitration, butsources tell CBC News that details of the agreement will be announced early next week when the majority owner of the Edge, Irwin Simon, is in the province.
