Syracuse, NY (June 2, 2009) - Syracuse Crunch President and CEO Howard Dolgon issued the following statement this afternoon.

"Once again we were disappointed but not at all surprised by the short-sighted and narrow minded thinking of the individuals in decision making power within the community where our hockey team plays.

Instead of embracing a rare opportunity to showcase the terrific attributes of our community at a benefit to the businesses and people that reside here, decisions are continually made with little or no vision considered.

We respectfully thank the legislators who supported the original proposal as well as the County Executive, her staff and the Syracuse Chiefs organization, who like us believed that an event of this magnitude would have positively exposed our community regionally as well as nationally and certainly would have created long term measurable benefits to Syracuse.

Instead we are asked to accept an unacceptable deal to which we respond - deal us out."
