Good story about the UHL and it’s soon to be open Commissioner job.
UHL president to resign
Here are three great candidates the league should consider to replace Brosal.

While some United Hockey League fans are fretting about the league’s future with the upcoming loss of Rockford and some low attendance numbers in places like Flint, Chicago and Port Huron, Komets President Michael Franke isn’t worried. He understands the history of Midwest minor league hockey.
Friend of Gameops.com Scott Sproat is mentioned as a candidate. The UHL would be lucky to land someone with Scott’s amazing insight and passion, and it would be really interesting to see what he could do to enhance the league.
Scott Sproat: The Komets’ executive vice president is the best there is at marketing and providing entertainment. He’s full of ideas and could find new ways to market the league and increase revenue. He also has some experience working among league decisions from his time in the Continental Basketball Association with the Fort Wayne Fury. Incredibly smart, Sproat practically ran three franchises at the same time, developing expansion teams and training their staffs, while at the same time turning down major league offers. Two potential problems are that he would not want to leave Fort Wayne, and his leaving would hurt the Komets. But a stronger league would help the Komets, too.
