PALMER — It has been “Mystery, Alaska,” but now the Alaska Avalanche appear to be headed to the hometown of “Slap Shot.”
Mark Lee, the owner of the Palmer-based North American Hockey League team, confirmed Tuesday afternoon that discussions are in place to relocate the Tier II Junior A hockey franchise to Johnstown, Pa.
“Nothing is inked, but it’s certainly promising,” said Lee, a local realtor who has been involved with the Avalanche franchise during the team’s seven-year stay in the Valley. “We have requested a relocation and sale of the team.”
