A report from the New Hampshire Union Leader indicates that the Manchester Monarchs, the Kings’ ECHL affiliate, are up for sale.
This isn’t the first time the Monarchs have changed hands recently. This potential sale comes less than three years since AEG sold the team to an independent ownership group, led by Marc Casper, a Waltham, Massachusetts-based businessman.
The team’s leadership, as well as the management team of SNHU Arena, the Monarchs’ home rink, are hopeful that the Monarchs will stay in Manchester and not relocate under new management. The Monarchs have a lease at SNHU Arena which runs for “several more seasons,” per the assistant general manager of SMG Group, the organization which manages the arena.
