Is that true? The word is that it was sold and the Lakeville hockey association is backing out of a contract worth $130,000. Now the new owner might close it.

Is Lakeville Hockey backing out, or not renewing an expired agreement?

The HDC was sold, that is correct.
It is incorrect and only a rumor that it is closing. The business was purchased by current New Jersey Devil Bryce Salvador, and it is NOT closing.
It has a new GM, and just recently hired Kirk Olson full-time as the Assistant GM. Kirk spent the last six years as the Strength and Conditioning coach for the Minnesota Wild. He does a tremendous job with the players.
Bryce is also majority owner of Total Hockey Worldwide which has 16 franchise locations across US and Canada. Peter Ing (former NHL goaltender) is the CEO. Most of the franchises are owned by current or former NHL players.

Lakeville Hockey did decline sending teams there this season. The association cut the entire development budget down to $0 to keep the costs down for players. There will be no external development this season for the Lakeville Hockey Association.
Check out the HDC website frequently. There will be many new offerings coming up soon for individuals and teams.

Many of these dryland/weightlifting programs are offered to teams only once a week during the season. Is there a physical benefit at that low frequency?
Sounds like Lakeville stepped up and made a tough choice to do what is best for their entire hockey community in these lean times (sorry HDC)
