Laredo Bucks News Release
LAREDO, TX: The Laredo Bucks, of the Central Hockey League, announced Tuesday that Gustavo Hernandez, LRD Sports Ventures, has obtained majority ownership of the team.
The Laredo Bucks announced at a press conference today that the team will now have local majority ownership. Mr. Gustavo Hernandez started LRD Sports Ventures in June 2011, when Glenn Hart, owner of the Laredo Bucks, invited potential investors to become a part of the organization at the Town Hall Meeting. LRD Sports Ventures became minority owners of the team soon after.
Glenn Hart and Gustavo Hernandez, along with the Laredo Bucks staff, have been working tireless to continue the success of the organization. Mr. Hart's growing business needs kept him away from Laredo, while Mr. Hernandez's business needs kept him closer to Laredo, therefore a decision was reached for LRD Sports Ventures to obtain majority ownership of the team. While Mr. Hart still has a large investment in the team, Mr. Hernandez will become the managing partner of the organization.
Gustavo Hernandez was born and raised in Laredo, Texas. He is a graduate of Martin High School and Texas A&M International University. Mr. Hernandez has owned his own private tax and accounting practice for the past 8 years. He is also involved in the cattle ranching and real estate.
