Belleville Bulls Sold - Exclusive Interview and Talktagon


After 34 seasons in the city, the OHL Belleville Bulls are moving to Hamilton.
Loyalist Sports Journalism's Adam Bradshaw spoke with the team’s owner Gord Simmonds Thursday night at the Yardmen Arena.
Simmonds said keeping the Bulls in Belleville was “untenable” and talks with the city to come up with funding for a new, bigger arena were unsuccessful. The Yardmen Arena is one of the smallest in the Ontario Hockey League.
Simmonds said he informed players of the decision at Thursday’s practice.
Simmonds, the team’s majority owner for 10 years, will remain as a minority owner after the team moves to Hamilton.


The sale of the Belleville Bulls is also the major topic on today's edition of The Talktagon.  Josh Burton, Allison Forbes and Andrew McCormack discuss the impact of the team moving, plus an outstanding performance in the NBA and March Madness.

The Talktagon is heard Friday at 2:30pm on 91X FM.
