Kim Kardashian's Ex-Husband Offered Spot with Crunch

Syracuse Crunch News Release
Syracuse, NY (December 14, 2011) - Reality TV star Kim Kardashian's husband of 72 days, who is currently without an NBA team, may not be out of work much longer.
The Syracuse Crunch of the American Hockey League is offering scorned husband and NBA veteran (most recently with the New Jersey Nets), Kris Humphries a spot on the team's roster or in the Crunch's front office.
Humphries, a native of hockey hotbed Minnesota, saw his life and marriage to Kardashian become a running national joke during his regular appearance on the E Network's 'Keeping up the Kardashians' popular reality series.
"We would welcome Kris Humphries to Syracuse, where unlike Hollywood there are no paparazzi within hundreds of miles and he could reclaim his privacy and self-esteem," said Syracuse Crunch General Manager Vance Lederman. "Being from Minnesota, Humphries will surely enjoy the hockey and feel right at home in the cold, gray, dismal weather we experience this time of year in Central New York."
The Crunch will allow Humphries use of their state of the art training facility and provide a certified personal trainer who will be available to the basketball star as he attempts to earn a spot with a NBA team.
In paying homage to the short-lived Kardashian/Humphries union, fans can purchase a six-pack of tickets to either the club's December 16th or 17th game for just $72.
