Ezell resigns as GM of Minnesota

Amidst the controversy surrounding the BHL with the Castlegar Castors imploding, Randy Geralt stepping down as BHL commissioner and with the 2009 World Cup, there was one place that always seemed like a ray of sunshine. There was always one place where the players of Minnesota could go to get away from the press, the lies and the politics surrounding the league they played in. That place is the Warbirds locker room.

That place no longer exists.

A shocking announcement will most likely send players picking their jaws up off of the ground. GM Greg Ezell took the podium today in what many thought would be a short announcement regarding a police investigation involving a stripper and a cake.

"I called you all here because I am announcing my retirement as both the GM of the Minnesota Warbirds and as a player. I've put this team together so we could win a Thundercup, but the outside issues have become to much for me to handle.

I would like to thank Chris Coogan and Robi Albert for giving me the to opportunity to hold some sort of management position. However, I have know realized that this is no longer the place I want to be anymore, I have no passion for the BHL."

Ezell left the podium and headed to an exit. What will happen with Minnesota? No one really knows but the Birds will most likely be reeling after this announcement.
