HuntNGatherAbout Harley Hotchkiss and Brenda Mackie - great find. Thank-you.
I don't know a thing about Mackie or Brenda Mackie, but back in '94 I became a ticket holder when they were barely drawing 10,000 a game. I went to a meeting at the then called Canadian Airlines Saddledome, and there's me and my college buddy standing beside me and then there was this old guy standing against the wall next to me. I don't know why he struck up a conversation with me - just a nice old man I thought and I didn't realize until walking outside the owner's box later that season that it was Harley Hotchkiss. Probably one of the most genuine people I've ever met. I followed his philanthropy and I find the man fascinating. If his daughter is cut from the same mold......
So as we all know, Harley Hotchkiss used to be on speed dial by at least 40 to 50 past and present NHL (almost bilionaire) owners. He's the reason hockey is still in Edmonton and Calgary and he's the reason the lock-out ended. Don't even get me started about the U of C, the Stampede, the military connections and sooooooo much more.
I imagine there is a Dean Paterson connection there somewhere and that Dean getting associated with SCT is no fluke.
We all wondered where he came from, i imagine his construction pipeline did somework for Harley's energy company somewherealong the way.
Hey when this offering dilutes the stock this week - it will be a bunch of connected people buying it up cheap, and holding out for the big one. The DUE DILIGENCE has been done.
And thanks to Kayday and Easy and Schiff for always maintaining SANE and informative posts.
