Great for the city of Rochester and the Seneca Nation (if true).  Seems right that Seneca should own a NLL franchise, considering the origins of the sport.  
 

Can TPegs yield positive Karma from this genuinely positive development.

Let's hope this ownership group doesn't have plans to move the team like the last one did.  Doubt they do but the owner that bought the previous version of the Kin-ig-hit Hawks moved them out of town pretty much as soon as he could.

Rumor has it that TPEGS fought very hard to find owners that would keep the team in Rochester.

Sounds like situation will work out with a happy ending.

No they don’t since  they don’t operate the team the team is under NLL

“AI Overview

The Rochester Knighthawks are currently seeking new ownership after Terry and Kim Pegula, who also own the Buffalo Bandits, Buffalo Sabres, and Rochester Americans, decided to cease operating the team. “

They have always intended on selling the Nighthawks; it was part of the stipulations with the league when PSE wanted to keep a team in Rochester after the original team moved. They have been looking to sell or at minimum bring on a new majority owner for the past 3 years. 
 

As for BCA it’s a rather old arena that needs continuous maintenance and unlikely brings in much money if any. Without Kim, Terry doesn’t have the same interest in Kim’s PSE baby. Not to mention he’ll soon own a new Bills stadium and potentially have to purchase the Key Bank Center. 
 

There are plenty of things to target Pegula for but this isn’t anything special or mischievous 

Totally agree... this is a nothingburger to me...

They still had a lot to say about who bought the team and the future plans of the team.

Wow, those eighteen months or so that I missed really brought in some quality posters.
