Look at the date, people! This was reported on the same date years back. Just like Gretzky traded 2 maple laughs

Happy Fools Day everyone!

Here's to hoping this could actually happen one day…..you look at the Success of the Kings and Hitmen being owned by a professional team, I could only think the same success would happen here with the Pats influence.

Is this for real? It sounds like a spoof. And the announcement at Fatburger? That just adds to how silly it sounds…

A bit conflicting. But whatever I guess. If you cheer for the Oilers, it doesn't mean you like the Oil Kings.

Just waiting for all the other teams fans complaining that the Riders will have to buy their local team too, just because the Riders are “Saskatchewan’s team” and it wouldn’t be fair.

But then they must realize it’s April fools day and the absurdity of this story starts to sink in
