The EPHL is officially done and Friedman won't be involved in the NEPHL.

From the article: "Herm Sorcher, a former EPHL vice president of sales and marketing, also confirmed what had been widely speculated -- that Brooklyn Aces owner Alan Friedman unsuccessfully attempted to relocate his franchise to Danbury while negotiating to play in two different leagues.

"Alan was looking to move the Aces up there, and it just didn't come together," said Sorcher. "It was his decision to not be involved in it anymore.

"I know that this year there will not be a Brooklyn Aces team in Danbury. They can't agree on all the costs and everything that goes along with it. Alan was going to have the team, but it just kind of fell apart," Sorcher continued. "There were some things that he wasn't 100 percent with, and he pulled the plug on it.""

It appears that Aviator forced Alan Friedman out so they can run the team themselves. Since the press release mentions a sixth team, does that mean Danbury is in and owned by Mr. Friedman as speculated on other message boards?
