Manchester - The Manchester Phoenix have enjoyed a long and successful history of playing superior ice hockey in the EPIHL. Recently, others have attempted to tarnish our reputation and interfere with our contractual relationships. We would like to categorically state that there has not ever been any misuse of any funds by the Manchester Phoenix. Furthermore, we have continuously engaged in good faith negotiations regarding the rental of ice time and are happy to continue on that basis. However, we do not believe that it is productive to respond to false or misleading statements in this forum. Rather, we leave it to our fans to look at the available information, our history with the team and the fans, and make their own evaluation. Regarding our ownership structure, we are a private company and that is generally non-public information. However, because we believe in transparency, and because we are proud of our association with Red Hockey, who have accomplished great things this year, we made some of this information public. However, the majority ownership of the Manchester Phoenix, as well as the management structure, have not been changed at all. As far as we are concerned it is business as usual. The Manchester Phoenix plan to play in the EPIHL next season and for a long time to come.

RHL - The Tigers would like to publicly voice their support for the Manchester Phoenix, our partner, and a great EPIHL team. Manchester is currently under fire from self-interested parties who want to destroy a responsible long-standing team in the name of profits. RHL condemns the tactics of issuing ultimatums and black mail, and hopes that the other EPIHL owners and the league itself step up to protect one of their own from any abusive behavior. As always, RHL wants to promote and develop the sport of ice hockey for the clubs and the fans. Please join us in voicing your support for the Manchester Phoenix.
