Show Me The Contract! Was There a Final Deal Signed on Enforcers?

By Elaine Macdonald

Is Prince George on the hook for cash damages for canceling the Battle of the Hockey Enforcer's?  That is the question of the day, and there is no easy answer.

CN Centre Manager Phil Beaulieu told Council during a special meeting there was a letter of agreement, but no final contract had been signed.  

The Athletic Commission's Harold Mann says they have had complete co operation from the promoters.  "We told them we wanted the  fighters to wear head gear,  we told them they must have their jersey's tied down, we told them they must have their hockey gloves on, and  in the unlikely event one should fall off, they must also be wearing regulation martial arts gloves."   

Athletic Comission Chairman George Winter says, "No,we had not given them final approval and until such time as they had sent  a certified cheque 14 days  before the event  guaranteeing the participants  their share, we  would not give them final approval for the event. Bear in mind, our agreement is seperate from the City of Prince George in that  they would have to have a separate agreement with CN Centre to rent the building."

Opinion 250  has been given information that the matter will be brought back before Council  Monday night at the regular Council meeting.  The Mayor will be introducing it, as per Councillor Dan Roger's request. (see also Mayor to Go One More Round  With Enforcers)

The Hockey Enforcers Media rep, Brent Johnson, told Opinion 250 their lawyers take a different spin on all of this, and they are under the  understanding  there is a final agreement.  Promoter Darryl Wolski was not immediately available  for comment.
