This is the site of another Andrew Haines business venture. Note that he is CEO and founder of Focus Management Group. Check out what FMG's site has posted under it's "News" section: (Keep in mind that Haines is CEO of FMG)

"FMG SIGNS EXCLUSIVE MARKETING AGREEMENT WITH MAHL"

Focus Management Group (FMG) announced today an exclusive marketing agreement with the Mid-Atlantic Hockey League (MAHL). Under terms of the agreement, FMG will serve as the marketing arm for the new professional hockey league. FMG will also coordinate advertising programs for all teams in the MAHL.

The MAHL has five teams set for its inaugural year. The teams will play in Wooster (OH), Indiana (PA), Jamestown (NY), Mon Valley - Pittsburgh, (PA) and Valley Forge – Philadelphia (PA). The MAHL season begins Friday, November 2.

Andrew Haines, President and Founder of the MAHL, commenting on the agreement, stated “We are excited about the arrangement with FMG. They have the experience and background to help all teams in the MAHL increase their fan base through improved advertising and marketing programs. We look forward to building on our relationship with them as the League looks to the future.”


In other words... Hey! I'm doing business with myself and and damn excited about it!

He used to do this in the articles he wrote for the Jamestown newspaper as well. The article would ramble on about how wonderful Andrew Haines was and how successful he was in running other sport franchises and how this was going to be much better than the NEHL. Then you look at the byline of who wrote the article ... guess who? None other than Andrew Haines!

He sure thinks alot of himself, doesn't he?

"Focus Management Group (FMG) and officials at Center Ice today announced a marketing and promotion agreement for the Oaks, PA facility. The agreement, effective October 1, 2007, will encompass marketing, advertising and naming rights sponsorship for the facility.

Center Ice, located in suburban Philadelphia, opened in 1997 and is a multi-purpose complex offering two (2) NHL size sheets of ice, seating for 3,000, health club, meeting and locker rooms. The Arena is home for the Valley Forge Freedom of the Mid Atlantic Hockey League (MAHL), St. Joe’s University, Valley Forge Minutemen, Valley Forge Colonials plus numerous youth, high school and league hockey teams."


3,000. hahhahah. I measured the bench seating my self, 268 per rink if you give 16 inches per seat.

I also think it's strange that the arena in Danville, IL terminated their agreement with the Danville Demolition of the AIFL (another Haines debaucle) and then (according to the FMG website) enters into a marketing agreement with FMG. Wassup wid dat? Anyone know anything about Haines' FMG partner, David Skinner? Is he living in Haines' imaginary world or is he another unwitting victim?

According to FMG's website, they also have an agreement with Center Ice in Oaks, PA (huh... funny... another MAHL team plays there...). All these agreements with these rinks always mentions David Skinner of FMG, but NEVER Andrew Haines of FMG.

Something smells funny to me...

Oh, and if you need a job...
