The news of the past week is that the Plymouth Whalers will be changing hands, meaning Peter Karmanos, who also owns the NHL's Carolina Hurricanes, is selling to Rolf Nilsen, owner of IMS Hockey Corporation. The deal is pending approval of the OHL Board of Governors, and once approved, it will not only end the 30-year ownership run of Karmanos, but will also signal the end of the Plymouth Whalers franchise. The team is moving to Flint, MI next season, meaning the team will be moving an hour north to start play in Perani Arena. Whether the team will be still known as the Whalers is not known at this time.
