IIHL VOWS TO STOP NEHL PLANS IN BUFFALO

Plans for a lawsuit to stop the North East Hockey League (NEHL) from placing a team in Buffalo were announced today by the Board of Directors for Xtreme Hockey International Inc., the company that owns the International Independent Hockey League (IIHL).

Joe Kolodzeij made a Feb. 20 announcement that he was bringing a new minor league pro club to Buffalo next season for action in the NEHL. He held a press conference last Friday to reveal a logo and an official nickname. Kolodziej told the media he would be calling his new team the Buffalo Stampede. Kolodziej is a former co-owner of the IIHL's Northern Michigan Predators. The team was kicked out of the league in mid-January when Kolodzeij's partner, Tom Considine, stopped payment on checks to cure defaults created by unpaid bills to the league office.

The Board of Directors for Xtreme Hockey International Inc. released the following statement today:

"As a General Manager, Mr. Kolodzeij is bound by legal agreements in our By-Laws that prevent him from operating or being employed by another professional or amateur hockey club within five years without our permission in writing. He made a request last December to have a possible IIHL team in Buffalo next season, and the request was denied because of unpaid bills to the IIHL at the time by the Predators organization. A similar situation between the Central Hockey League and South East Hockey League (SEHL) resulted in an ownership group from Tupelo, Mississippi not being able to participate this season in the SEHL. Mr. Kolodziej has been told by the IIHL President that he has his pledge for assistance if he wants to come to the table and talk about resolving old issues to allow something to happen for himself in Buffalo. What won't happen is Mr. Kolodziej doing anything in Buffalo without writing us a large check."

The IIHL is an A-level professional league that limits rosters to no more than six foreign-born players to give more Americans opportunities to advance in a sport currently dominated by Canadians and Europeans. The IIHL had an official affiliation agreement in its first season with the AA-level South East Hockey League and advanced a number of players there, as well as to AA-level teams in other leagues and to European pro teams.

The IIHL cut its first season short in mid-January when the Predators were among three teams that owed a combined $75,400 to the league office. The other three teams were being operated by the league to make the IIHL fly this season as a new feeder system development league.

The IIHL is hoping to return next season with between 20 and 24 teams in as many as five regional divisions. A spring "finish" to the first IIHL season is also in the works for May 2004. The format will be announced next week.

There a couple things wrong with the IIHL press release concerning the agreement between the SEHL and the CHL. First the Tupelo franchise was not kicked out of a league that was really only on paper anyway. When the Tupelo owners elected not to join the CHL when the WPHL disbanded and merged with the CHL the agreement was that Tupelo could not play in any other professional league because the CHL still held the rights to the territory. With the Bozo the clown run IIHL there was never a bona fide league anyway, and the Team folded itself because of the way the Jack in the Box owner ran it. Joe's team as far as I know and talking to vendors that the team dealt with was the only team that paid its bills. If the IIHL Idiot owner thinks that by Joe having a team in another league in a State a couple hundred miles away would hamper his paper league then he is not only crazy, he is stupid. Talk about braking so called League charter laws, is he kidding? Talk about money not being paid to the league is at most a civil matter, NOT paying players a paycheck is a FEDERAL matter, bouncing checks is a CRIME, underage drinking on a team bus is a CRIME, stealing money is a CRIME. Maybe the IIHL Resident Clown should worry about people taking his low life ass to court and not worry about another team that will have no effect on his PAPER league at all. He says he wants 20 teams next season? Who in their right mind would join this League knowing that they will lose evry dime they put up, then be called a crook by a man with a track record of Mike. That is like calling Dracula a Blood bank.

Yet ANOTHER deleriously combative press release from Killdreams. Here's a translation from Killdreamese into English:

APRIL 9, 2004

IIHL VOWS TO STOP NEHL PLANS IN BUFFALO

This from a man who has never kept a promice in his life...


Plans for a lawsuit to stop the North East Hockey League (NEHL) from placing a team in Buffalo were announced today by the Board of Directors for Xtreme Hockey International Inc., the company that owns the International Independent Hockey League (IIHL).

Translation: It's everyone's fault but mine that I scammed everyone out of their money.

Joe Kolodzeij made a Feb. 20 announcement that he was bringing a new minor league pro club to Buffalo next season for action in the NEHL. He held a press conference last Friday to reveal a logo and an official nickname. Kolodziej told the media he would be calling his new team the Buffalo Stampede. Kolodziej is a former co-owner of the IIHL's Northern Michigan Predators. The team was kicked out of the league in mid-January when Kolodzeij's partner, Tom Considine, stopped payment on checks to cure defaults created by unpaid bills to the league office.

Translation: The Predators were the only team not owned by me and hense the only one who paid their bills. Therefore they must be destroyed.

The Board of Directors for Xtreme Hockey International Inc.

Translation: Mike Killbreath made up the following lie:

"As a General Manager, Mr. Kolodzeij is bound by legal agreements in our By-Laws that prevent him from operating or being employed by another professional or amateur hockey club within five years without our permission in writing. He made a request last December to have a possible IIHL team in Buffalo next season, and the request was denied because of unpaid bills to the IIHL at the time by the Predators organization. A similar situation between the Central Hockey League and South East Hockey League (SEHL) resulted in an ownership group from Tupelo, Mississippi not being able to participate this season in the SEHL. Mr. Kolodziej has been told by the IIHL President that he has his pledge for assistance if he wants to come to the table and talk about resolving old issues to allow something to happen for himself in Buffalo. What won't happen is Mr. Kolodziej doing anything in Buffalo without writing us a large check."

Translation: Joe was a GM for a team I had no control over and is a free agent. Therefore I must ruin him and steal the rest of his money.

A large check eh Killdreams? Like the ones made of rubber you have your wife writing all the time?

The IIHL is an A-level professional league that limits rosters to no more than six foreign-born players to give more Americans opportunities to advance in a sport currently dominated by Canadians and Europeans.

Yeah, that blast wasn't TOO racist... :roll:


The IIHL had an official affiliation agreement in its first season with the AA-level South East Hockey League and advanced a number of players there, as well as to AA-level teams in other leagues and to European pro teams.

Translation: I can still drop names because nobody seems to call me on it.

Side note: I would like to see what European teams KNOW THE iihl EXISTS let alone gave this loser money.

The IIHL cut its first season short in mid-January when the Predators were among three teams that owed a combined $75,400 to the league office. The other three teams were being operated by the league to make the IIHL fly this season as a new feeder system development league.

Translation: I got caught conning too many people in too many towns so I had to lay low for a while. Now that the heat is off I am back to steal your life savings.

The IIHL is hoping to return next season with between 20 and 24 teams in as many as five regional divisions. A spring "finish" to the first IIHL season is also in the works for May 2004. The format will be announced next week.

Translation: I'm back to take your money again. Twenty teams will be on my immaginary league that has an imaginary tv deal with ESPN as well.

Killbreath, you are a fraud and if you want to accuse me of slander again, come on up here and serve me with papers and show you have the balls to sue me. You are a joke and I look forward to calling you on it again.
