Proposed new hockey league cancels tryouts, players warned
Major League Hockey (MLH), a proposed new 3-on-3 league that claims to have big money behind it, has canceled it tryouts for players after an embarrassing process
Major League Hockey, of MLH, has promised to start a brand new 3-on-3 league starting this year and has also claimed to have some big money behind it. However, the MLH has decided to cancel tryouts for the league after what appears to be an embarrassing attempt to charge players trying to get into the league.
Grand Forks Herald recently reported on Max Chambers, "Chambers has come forward several times as a prospective buyer of hockey teams - two minor league teams in Florida, the St. Louis Blues and Phoenix Coyotes of the NHL, and the Victoria Grizzlies of the British Columbia Hockey League.
His method of operation is similar. He says he has foreign money coming in. He promises a major influx of cash to the organization. His name lands in media reports.
But in the end, he doesn't come up with the money."
Insistent that the league would be up and running in 2024, Chambers recently went ahead with a tryout process in order to bring in players. Despite being a professional league that is promising good money for salaries, Chambers and MLH attempted to charge $450 CDN, or $375 USD, per tryout. The price was then dropped, and there was a promise the money would be refunded. MLH then canceled the tryouts sessions completely.
You may remember that well-known podcast host Steve "Dangle" Glynn did a web interview with Max Chambers, where Chambers boasted about the money behind the MLH and his big plans for the future. Glynn took the video down after talking to others who have knowledge of Chambers. Glynn has stated he himself has told players who were considering trying out, even after hearing at the fee, to save their money.
