The future of minor league ice hockey in Danbury is looking unsettled in light of comments made Tuesday by Pat Lovett, the commissioner of the new North East Professional Hockey League.
Lovett said in a phone conversation with The News-Times that the Danbury Mad Hatters and the Eastern Professional Hockey League folded weeks ago.
"The Hatters are a dead entity because they were part of the EPHL," said Lovett. "There's not really any movement in it."
Lovett added that the NEPHL, which announced Sunday it would start its inaugural season in November of this year, planned to locate a new team in Danbury.
"We're absolutely looking to have a team there," said Lovett.
As for the Mad Hatters, Lovett said he heard ongoing negotiations between team owner Tim Kolpien and potential buyers went nowhere.
