"Air Canada" Flies Again, Crookshank Reinstated

February 4, 2009 - Premier Basketball League (PBL)
Halifax Rainmen News Release


(Halifax, N.S.) After a lot of careful thought Rainmen Owner Andre Levingston reinstated star player and Power Forward Eric Crookshank to the team roster.

"I had to convince Eric to improve his attitude on the team. The only way to do that was to have him face serious punishment. He did everything we asked of him, and many things we didn't. He suffered for his mistake, and I believe he has learned his lesson and is ready to take the team all the way to the championships," said Levingston.

Thirty-year old, 6'8" Crookshank is thrilled to be back with his teammates who have all expressed their desire to have him back in the line-up where he belongs. "The support I have been given from my teammates, fans and friends has been overwhelming," added Crookshank. "I want to thank everyone and give back by having a big game on Sunday. I've learned from my mistakes."

The Rainmen meet Vermont on Sunday February 8th at 4pm at the Halifax Metro Centre. It's HRM Kids Day and all fans 17-years old and under are admitted for only $5 when accompanied by an adult. Tickets are available at the Ticket Atlantic Halifax Metro Centre box office only.
